To avoid thepossibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool. A leak test must beperformed annually and whenever any component of the gas train is replaced or gas smell is present.Maintenance InstructionsWe recommend this gas grill be thoroughly inspected and serviced annually by a qualified service person.At all times keep the gas grill area free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vaporsand liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation and combustion air. Keep the cylinder enclosureventilation openings (located on the cart sides and at the front and back of the bottom shelf) free and clearfrom debris.Cleaning The Outer Grill Surface: Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted, porcelain orstainless steel parts of your Napoleon Grill. Doing so will scratch the finish. Exterior grill surfaces should becleaned with warm soapy water while the metal is still warm to the touch. To clean stainless surfaces, usea stainless steel or a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. Over time, stainlesssteel parts discolor when heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discoloration is normal and doesnot affect the performance of the grill. Porcelain enamel components must be handled with additionalcare. The baked-on enamel finish is glass-like, and will chip if struck. Touch-up enamel is available fromyour Napoleon Grill dealer.Burner: The burner is made from heavy wall 304 stainless steel, but extreme heat and a corrosiveenvironment can cause surface corrosion to occur. This can be removed with a brass wire brush.CAUTION! Beware of Spiders.Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The burner is equipped with aninsect screen on the air shutter, which reduces the likelihood of insects building nests inside the burnerbut does not entirely eliminate the problem. A nest or web can cause the burner to burn with a soft yellowor orange flame or cause a fire (flashback) at the air shutter underneath the control panel. To clean theinside of the burner, it must be removed from the gas grill: Remove the screw (s) that attaches the burnerto the back wall. Slide the burner back and up wards to remove. Cleaning: Use a flexible venturi tube brushto clean the inside of the burner. Shake any loose debris from the burner through the gas inlet. Check theburner ports and valve orifices for blockages. Burner ports can close over time due to cooking debris andcorrosion, use an opened paperclip or the supplied port maintenance bit to clean them. Drill out blockedports using this drill bit in a small cordless drill. The ports are easier to clean if the burner is removed fromthe grill, but it can also be done with the burner installed. Do not flex 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 orifices (jets)which regulate the flow into the burner. Take care not to enlarge the holes. Ensure the insect screen isclean, tight, and free of any lint or other debris.Reinstallation: Reverse the procedure to reinstall the burner. Check that the valve enters the burner wheninstalling. Replace sear plate mount and / or tighten screws to complete reinstallation.WARNING! When reinstalling the burner after cleaning it is veryimportant that the valve/orifice enters the burner tube before lighting yourgas grill. If the valve is not inside the burner tube a fire or explosion couldoccur.
