Propane Cylinder Installaon
Cylinder Connecon: Ensure that the gas regulator hose is kink free. Remove the cap or plug from the cylinder
fuel valve. Insert the black QCC1 regulator nipple onto the QCC1 fuel valve. Hand ghten clockwise. Do not use
tools. Leak test all joints prior to using the barbecue. A leak test must be performed annually, and each me a
cylinder is hooked up, or if a part of the gas system is replaced.
• Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise.
• Check that the grill’s burner knobs are in the o posion.
• Open cabinet doors.
• Place the cylinder into the tank holder in boom of shelf.
• Posion the cylinder so that the valve faces toward the front of the unit.
• Aach regulator hose.
WARNING! Use only the pressure regulator and hose assembly provided with this barbecue. Replace ment
pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be specied by the manufacturer. Do not store a spare
propane cylinder on the shelf beneath the barbecue. The regulator must be aached so that no part of the
hose touches the underside of the grill or drippan. A re will result if these direcons are ignored.
The regulator supplies a pressure of 11 inches. water column to the gas grill and has a QCC1 type ng. Cyl inders
to be used with this unit must be supplied with a QCC1 cylinder valve. A QCC1 cylinder has a posive seat ing
connecon, which will not allow gas ow unl a posive seal has been achieved. It is also equipped with an
excess ow device. In order to aain full ow to the grill, the valves must be in the o posion when the cylin der
valve is turned on.
Natural Gas Hook-Up
This natural gas grill is supplied with a 10 supply hose (complete with a quick disconnect) designed for natural
gas and cered for outdoor use. The gas grill is designed to operate at an inlet pressure of 7 inches water
column. Piping and valves upstream of the quick disconnect are not supplied. The installaon must com ply
with CAN B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane installaon code in Canada, or to the Naonal Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 in the United States. The gas supply pipe must be suciently sized to supply the BTU/h specied
on the rang plate, based on the length of the piping run. The quick disconnect must not be installed in an
upward direcon and a readily accessible manual shut-o valve must be installed upstream of, and as close to,
the quick disconnect as is feasible. The ared end of the hose must be connected to the ng on the end of
the ex tube as illustrated in the Natural Gas Hose Aachment diagram. Tighten using two wrenches. (Do not
use thread sealer/pipe dope.) These connecons must be made by a licensed gas installer. Leak test all joints
prior to using the gas grill.
WARNING!
• The installaon must be performed by a licensed gas er, and all connecons must be leak tested before
operang the grill.
• Do not route hose underneath drip pan.
• Do not route hose between space in boom shelf and back panel.
• Do not route hose over top of back panel.
• Ensure all hose connecons are ghtened using two wrenches. Do not use teon tape or pipe dope on
any hose connecon.
• Ensure the hose does not contact any high temperature surfaces, or it may melt and leak causing a re.
• Do not use enclosure to store excess hose, as there is a greater chance of the hose contacng a hot surface,
it may melt and leak causing a re.
• Leak test all the connecons using a soap and water soluon, as per the leak tesng instrucons found in

Leak Tesng Instrucons
WARNING! A leak test must be performed annually and each me a cylinder is hooked up or if a part
of the gas system is replaced.
WARNING! Never use an open ame to check for gas leaks. Be certain no sparks or open ames are
in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open ames will result in a re or explosion, damage to
prop erty, serious bodily injury, or death.
Leak tesng: This must be done before inial use, annually, and whenever any gas components are replaced
or serviced. Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignion. See Leak Tesng
Dia gram for areas to check. Turn all burner controls to the o posion. Turn gas supply valve on.
Brush a half-and-half soluon of liquid soap and water onto all joints and connecons of the regulator, hose,
manifolds and valves.
Bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Either ghten the loose joint or have the part replaced with one recommend ed
by the Napoleon Customer Care department and have the grill inspected by a cered gas installer.
If the leak cannot be stopped, immediately shut o the gas supply, disconnect it, and have the grill inspected
by a cered gas installer or dealer. Do not use the grill unl the leak has been corrected.

Operang The Grill
Inial Lighng: When lit for the rst me, the gas grill emits a slight odor. This is a normal temporary condion
caused by the “burn-in” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and does not occur
again. Simply run the main burners on high for approximately one-half hour.
Main Burner Use: When searing foods, we recommend preheang the grill by operang all main burners
in the high posion with the lid closed for approximately 10 minutes. Food cooked for short periods of me
(sh, vegetables) can be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher, more even
temperatures that can reduce cooking me and cook meat more evenly. Food that has a cooking me longer
than 30 minutes, such as roasts, can be cooked indirectly (with the burner lit opposite to the food placement).
When cooking very lean meats, such as chicken breasts or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before pre-heang
to reduce scking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content can create are-ups. Either trim the fat or
reduce temperatures to inhibit this. Should a are-up occur, move food away from the ames and reduce the
heat. Leave the lid open. See Your All Season Grill cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instrucons.
Direct Cooking: Place food to be cooked on the grill directly over the heat. This method is generally used for
searing or for foods that do not require prolonged cooking mes such as hamburgers, steaks, chicken pieces,
or vegetables. The food is rst seared to trap-in the juices and avor, and then the temperature is lowered to
nish cooking the food to your preference.
Indirect Cooking: With one or more burners operang, place food to be cooked on the grill over a burner that
is not operang. The heat circulates around the food, cooking slowly and evenly. Cooking with this method is
much the same as cooking in your oven and is generally used for larger cuts of meats such as roasts, chickens
or turkeys, but can also be used for cooking foods that are prone to are-ups or for smoking foods. Lower
tem peratures and slower cooking mes result in tender foods.
Infrared Side Burner Use(if equipped): The gas grill should be located so that the side burner is protected from
the wind, because the wind will adversely aect its performance. The side burner lid needs to be removed
when cooking. Place the lid in the enclosure door.
The side burner is equipped with a cast iron cooking grid which can be posioned at two dierent heights. The
lower posion can be used like any range top burner, for gravies, soups, etc. The higher posion is for searing
meats. (see instrucons located on side burner lid).
WARNING! Do not close the side burner lid while it is operang or hot.
WARNING! Do not adjust cooking grid while hot or operang.
WARNING! Do not use side burner to deep fry foods as cooking with oil can create a dangerous situa on.
Rear Burner Use (If Equipped): Remove the warming rack prior to use. Cooking grids should also be removed
if they interfere with the rosserie. The rear burner is designed to be used in conjuncon with the rosserie
kit (included with most rear burner units) available from your dealer. See the rosserie kit assembly instruc ons.
To use the counterbalance - remove the rosserie motor from the gas grill. Place the spit with meat being
cooked across the hangers inside the grill. The meat will naturally hang with the heavy side down. Tighten
the counterbalance arm and weight so the arm is facing up. Slide the counterweight in or out to balance the
load and ghten in place. Re-install the motor and begin cooking. Place a metal dish underneath the meat to
collect drippings for basng and naturally delicious gravy. Basng liquid may be added as required. To seal in
juices, rst operate rear burner on high unl brown, then reduce the heat to thoroughly cook foods. Keep the
lid closed for best results. Your roasts and fowl will brown perfectly on the outside and stay moist and tender
on the inside. For example, a 3 pound chicken on the rosserie will be done in approximately 1½ hours on
medium to high. See ‘Your all Season Grill’ cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instrucons.
WARNING! Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioraon of the gas grill
components unless cleaned regularly. When nished cooking disassemble rosserie components, wash
thoroughly with warm soapy water and store indoors.
Flame Side Burner Use (if equipped): The side burner can be used like any stove top burner, for gravies, soups
etc. For best performance, the gas grill should be located with the side burner protected from the wind.
WARNING! Never grill food directly on the side burner grate. It is designed for use with pots and pans
only.

1. Follow the infrared side burner lighng instrucons and operate on high for 5 minutes with the lid opened
or unl the ceramic burners glow red.
2. Place food on grills and cook according to mes listed in the Infrared Grilling Chart.
3. Depending upon your taste, connue cooking over infrared burners on high, medium or low, turning food
frequently, or place food on the main burner area of the grill, close lid, and allow oven temperature to slowly
nish cooking your food.
CAUTION! Due to the intense heat the infrared burners provide, food le unaended over burners will
burn quickly. Keep the lid open when cooking with the infrared burners on high. The intense heat ensures
adequate searing temperatures even with the lid open. This also allows observaon of the food, so as to
prevent burning.
Protecon Of Your Infra Red Burners: The infrared burners of your grill are designed to provide a long service
life. However, there are steps you must take to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces, which will cause the
burners to malfuncon.
• Never let water come in direct contact with your ceramic burner.
• Do not allow hard objects to impact the infra red burner.
• Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in contact with hot ceramic burners. A large
temperature dierenal can cause cracking of the ceramic le.
• Damage caused by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.
Infrared Heat
Most people don’t realize that the heat source we are most familiar with, our sun, warms the earth using
mainly infrared energy. This is a form of electro-magnec energy with a wavelength just greater than the red
end of the visible light spectrum but less than a radio wave. This energy was discovered in 1800 by Sir William
Herschel who dispersed sunlight into its component colors using a prism. He showed that most of the heat in
the beam fell into the spectral region just beyond the red end of the spectrum, where no visible light existed.
Most materials readily absorb infrared energy in a wide range of wavelengths, causing an increase in its
tem perature. The same phenomenon causes us to feel warmth when we are exposed to sunlight. The infrared
rays from the sun travel through the vacuum of space, through the atmosphere, and penetrate our skin. This
causes increased molecular acvity in the skin, which creates internal fricon and generates heat, allowing us
to feel warmth.
Foods cooked over infrared heat sources are heated by the same principle. Charcoal grilling is our most familiar
choice for infrared cooking. The glowing briquees emit infrared energy to the food being cooked with very
lile drying eect. Any juices or oils that escape from the food drip onto the charcoal and vaporize into smoke
giving the food its delicious grilled taste. The Napoleon infrared burner cooks in the same way. In each burner,
10,000 ports – each with its own ny ame – cause the surface of the ceramic le to glow red. This glow emits
the same type of infrared heat to the food as charcoal, without its hassle or mess. Infrared burners
also pro vide a more consistently heated area that is far easier to regulate than a charcoal re. For instant
searing, the burners can be set to high, yet they can also be turned down for slower cooking. We all know how
dicult that is on a charcoal re. Tradional gas burners heat the food in a dierent way. The air surrounding
the burner is heated by the combuson process and then rises to the food being cooked. This generates
lower grill temperatures that are ideal for more delicate cuisine such as seafood or vegetables, whereas
Napoleon’s in frared burners produce searing heat for juicier, taser steaks, hamburgers and other meats. For

Preparing hamburgers to order
is made easier by varying the
thickness of your paes. To add
an exoc taste to your meat, try
adding hickory-avored woodchips
to Napoleon’s woodchip smoker.

20-25 min. The joint connecng the thigh
and the leg from the skinless side
should be sliced 3/4 of the way

on the grill. This helps it to cook
faster and more evenly. To add a
trademark taste to your cooking,
try adding mesquite-avoured
woodchips to your Napoleon
woodchip smoker.
