MAINTENANCE/CLEANING Instructions

It is recommended that this gas grill be thoroughly inspected and serviced annually by a qualified service person.

•Do not use pressure washer to clean any part of the unit.

Ensure that the burners are turned off prior to cleaning. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Clean grill in an area where cleaning solutions will not harm decks, lawns or patios. 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. Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the gas grill components unless cleaned regularly.

Turn off the gas at the source and disconnect unit before servicing. Maintenance should only be done when the grill is cool, to avoid the possibility of burns. A leak test must be performed annually, and whenever any component of the gas train is replaced.

COMBUSTION AIR ADJUSTMENT - (This must be done by a qualified gas installer.) The air shutter is factory set and should not have to be adjusted under normal conditions. However, some extreme field conditions may exist that require adjustment. When the air shutter is adjusted correctly, the flames will be dark blue with light blue tips, and occasional yellow tips.

If the burner is getting too little air, the flames will be lazy yellow, and possibly produce soot. If the burner is getting too much air, the flames will be lifting erratically from the burner and may cause difficulties when lighting.

1.To adjust the air shutter, remove cooking grids and sear plates and leave lid open. The back cover must be removed for back burner air shutter adjustment.

2.Loosen air-shutter lock screw and open or close air shutter as required. The normal settings are:

Main Burner	Propane	5/32"
	Natural	5/32"

3.Light burners and set to high. Visually inspect burner flames. When shutters are set, turn burners off, tighten locking screw, and replace removed parts. Ensure that the insect screens are installed.

GRIDS AND WARMING RACK - The grids and warming rack are best cleaned during the pre-heat period with a soft brass wire brush. Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. Stainless grids will discolour permanently from normal usage, due to the high temperature of the cooking surface.

CLEANING INSIDE THE GAS GRILL - Remove cooking grids. Use a soft brass wire brush to clean loose debris from casting sides and insides of the lid. Scrape sear plates with a putty knife or scraper, and use a wire brush to remove ash. Remove sear plates and brush debris off of burners with a brass wire brush. Brush all debris from inside the gas grill into the removable drip pan. Ensure that the sear plates are placed properly when they are reinstalled (Check assembly instructions for proper orientation).

DRIP PAN - Slide the drip pan out for easy cleaning. It should be cleaned frequently (every 4-5 uses) to avoid grease
buildup. Grease and excess drippings pass through to the drip pan, located under the gas grill, and accumulate in the
disposable grease tray below the drip pan. Accumulated grease can cause a fire hazard. Do not line the drip pan with
aluminum foil or sand, as it can prevent the grease from flowing properly. The pan should be scraped out with a putty knife or
scraper, and all the debris should be scraped into the disposable grease tray. This tray should be replaced every two to four
weeks, depending on gas grill usage. For supplies, see your Napoleon Gas Grill dealer.	7
