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
cooking mes and ps refer to the Infrared Grilling Chart.

WARNING! Always wear protecve gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your grill.
WARNING! To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool.
Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Ensure all burners are turned o. Clean grill in an area where
cleaning soluons will not harm decks, lawns, or paos. Do not use oven cleaner to clean any part of this
gas grill. Do not use a self-cleaning oven to clean cooking grids or any other parts of the gas grill.
Barbe cue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioraon of the gas grill components
unless cleaned regularly.
Maintenance / Cleaning Instrucons
Note: Stainless steel tends to oxidize or stain in the presence of chlorides and suldes, parcularly in coastal
areas and other harsh environments, such as the warm, highly humid atmosphere around pools and hot tubs.
These stains could be perceived as rust, but can be easily removed or prevented. To provide stain prevenon
and removal, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as oen as required with fresh water and/or
stainless steel cleaner.
We recommend this gas grill be thoroughly inspected and serviced annually by a qualied service person.
WARNING! Turn o the gas at the source and disconnect the unit before servicing. To avoid the
pos sibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool. A leak test must be performed
annually and whenever any component of the gas train is replaced or gas smell is present.
Combuson Air Adjustment: (This must be done by a qualied gas installer.) The air shuer is factory set and
should not need adjusng under normal condions. Under extreme eld condions, adjustments might be
required. When the air shuer is adjusted correctly the ames will be dark blue, pped with light blue and
occasionally yellow.
• With too lile air ow to the burner, the ames are lazy yellow and can produce soot.
• With too much air ow, the ames li erracally and can cause dicules when lighng.
Adjusng the air shuer:
1. Remove cooking grids and sear plates and leave lid open.
2. Loosen air-shuer lock screw located at the mouth of the burner and open or close air shuer as required.
The normal opening sengs are:
Main Tube Burner Propane 5/32” (4mm)
Natural 5/32” (4mm)
*Infra-Red burners have no air adjustment.
3. Light the burners and set to high. Visually inspect burner ames. When the shuers are set correctly, turn
burners o, ghten locking screws, and replace removed parts. Ensure that the insect screens are installed.

Tube Burner: The burners are made from heavy wall 304 stainless steel, but extreme heat and a corrosive
envi ronment can cause surface corrosion to occur. This can be removed with a brass wire brush.
CAUTION! Beware of Spiders.
Spiders and insects are aracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The burner is equipped with an
in sect screen on the air shuer, which reduces the likelihood of insects building nests inside the burner but
Cleaning Inside The Gas Grill: Remove the cooking grids. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from
the casng sides and underneath the lid. Scrape the sear plates with a puy knife or scraper, and use a wire
brush to remove the ash. Remove the sear plates and brush debris from the burners with the brass wire brush.
Sweep all debris from inside the gas grill into the drip pan.
Drip Pan: Accumulated grease is a re hazard. Clean the drip pan frequently (every 4 – 5 uses or as oen as
re quired) to avoid grease buildup. Grease and excess drippings pass through to the drip pan, located beneath
the gas grill and accumulate in the disposable grease tray below the drip pan. To access the disposable grease
tray or to clean the drip pan, slide the drip pan free of the grill. Never line the drip pan with aluminum foil,
sand or any other material as this could prevent the grease from owing properly. The pan should be scraped
out with a puy knife or scraper. Replace the disposable grease tray every 2 – 4 weeks, depending on gas grill
usage. For supplies, see your Napoleon Gas Grill dealer.
Cleaning The Outer Grill Surface: Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted, porcelain or stain less
steel parts of your Napoleon Grill. Doing so will scratch the nish. Exterior grill surfaces should be cleaned with
warm soapy water while the metal is sll warm to the touch. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel or
a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direcon of the grain. Over me, stainless steel parts discolor when
heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discoloraon is normal and does not aect the performance of
the grill. Porcelain enamel components must be handled with addional care. The baked-on enamel nish is
glass-like, and will chip if struck. Touch-up enamel is available from your Napoleon Grill dealer.
WARNING! Hose: Check for abrasions, melng, cuts, and cracks in the hose. If any of these condions
exist, do not use the gas grill. Have the part replaced by your Napoleon Gas Grill dealer or qualied gas
installer.
Grids And Warming Rack: The grids and warming rack are best cleaned with a brass wire brush during the
pre- heang period. Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. It is normal that stainless grids (if equipped)
will discolor permanently from regular usage due to the high temperature of the cooking surface.
Cast Iron Cooking Grids: The cast iron cooking grids supplied with your new grill oer superior heat reten on
and distribuon. By regularly seasoning your grids you are adding a protecve coang, which will aid in re sist ing
corrosion and increase your grids non-sck capabilies.
First Time Use: Wash the cooking grids by hand with mild dish soap and water to remove any residue from
the manufacturing process (never wash in a dish washer). Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry completely
with a so cloth. This is important to avoid moisture from entering the cast iron.
Seasoning: Using a so cloth, spread VEGETABLE SHORTENING over the enre grid surface ensuring all grooves
and corners are covered. Do not use salted fats such as buer or margarine. Pre-heat your grill for 15 min utes,
then place the seasoned cooking grids in the grill. Turn the burner control knobs to medium with the lid
closed. Allow the cooking grids to heat for approximately one-half hour. Turn all the burners to the “OFF”
posion and turn the gas o at the source. Let the cooking grids stand unl cool. This procedure should be
repeated several mes throughout the season, although it is not required for daily use (follow daily usage
procedure below).
Daily Usage: Before pre-heang, and cleaning with a brass wire grill brush, coat the enre top surface of the
cooking grids with VEGETABLE SHORTENING. Pre-heat the grill and then brush away any unwanted residue
with a brass wire brush.
Stainless Steel Cooking Grids: (upgrade kit available - see replacement parts list). Stainless steel cooking grids
are durable and corrosion resistant. They require less seasoning and maintenance then cast iron cooking grids.
It is recommended that you follow the daily usage procedure listed above although you may nd pre-heang
and cleaning your grids with a wire brush is sucient for your grilling needs.
Lights: To remove the lens from the light housing, insert a at screwdriver p between the lens and the hous ing
and rock it gently. Do not touch the halogen bulb. The oil from your ngerps will reduce the life of the bulb.
To clean the lens, rst soak it in hot soapy water, then clean with a rag and non abrasive cleaner. To reinstall
the lens, simply snap it back into the housing.
Control Panel: The control panel text is printed directly on the stainless steel and with proper maintenance
will remain dark and legible. To clean the panel, use only warm soapy water or Connental brand stainless
steel
cleaner available from your Ultra Chef dealer. Never apply abrasive cleaners on any stainless surfaces,
espe cially the printed poron of the control panel or the prinng will gradually rub o.

does not enrely eliminate the problem. A nest or web can cause the burner to burn with a so yellow or
orange ame or cause a re (ashback) at the air shuer beneath the control panel. To clean the inside of the
burner, it must be removed from the gas grill: Remove the screw that aaches the burner to the back wall.
Slide the burner back and upwards to remove. Cleaning: Use a exible venturi tube brush to clean the inside
of the burner. Shake any loose debris from the burner through the gas inlet. Check the burner ports and valve
orices for blockages. Burner ports can close over me due to cooking debris and corrosion, use an opened pa perclip
or the supplied port maintenance bit to clean them. Drill out blocked ports using this drill bit in a small cord less
drill. The ports are easier to clean if the burner is removed from the grill, but it can also be done with the
burner installed. Do not ex the drill bit when drilling the ports, as this will cause the drill bit to break. This drill
is for burner ports only, not for the brass orices (jets) which regulate the ow into the burner. Take care not to
enlarge the holes. Ensure the insect screen is clean, ght, and free of any lint or other debris.
Reinstallaon: Reverse the procedure to reinstall the burner. Check that the valve enters the burner when
installing.
WARNING! When reinstalling the burner aer cleaning it is very
important that the valve/orice enters the burner tube before lighng your
gas grill. If the valve is not inside the burner tube a re or explosion could
occur.

Aluminum Casngs: Clean casngs periodically with warm soapy water. Aluminum will not rust, but high
temperatures and weathering can cause oxidaon to occur on aluminum surfaces. This appears as white spots
on the casngs. To renish these areas, clean rst and sand lightly with ne sandpaper. Wipe the surface to
remove any residue and paint with high temperature barbecue paint. Protect surrounding areas from over- spray.
Follow the manufacture’s direcons for curing.
