Cleaning InstruconsNote: Stainless steel tends to oxidize or stain in the presence of chlorides and suldes, parcularly 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 prevenon
and removal, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as oen as required with fresh water and/or
stainless steel cleaner.
Grids And Warming Rack: The grids and warming rack are best cleaned with a brass wire brush during the
pre-heang 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.
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 stainless steel cleaner available
from your Napoleon dealer. Never apply abrasive cleaners on any stainless surfaces, especially the printed
poron of the control panel or the prinng will gradually rub o.
Cleaning Inside The Gas Grill: Remove the cooking grids. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from
the casng sides and underneath the lid. Scrape the sear plates with a puy 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.
WARNING! Built in units are supplied with a drip pan which holds only a minimal amount of grease.
To prevent grease res, the pan must be cleaned aer each use.
Drip Pan: Accumulated grease is a re hazard. Clean the drip pan aer each use to avoid grease buildup.
Grease and excess drippings pass through to the drip pan, located beneath the gas grill. 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 puy knife or scraper.
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 sll warm to the touch. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel or
a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direcon of the grain. Over me, stainless steel parts discolor when
heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discoloraon is normal and does not aect the performance of
the grill. Porcelain enamel components must be handled with addional care. The baked-on enamel nish is
glass-like, and will chip if struck. Touch-up enamel is available from your Napoleon Grill dealer.
Infrared Burners: Because of the high intensity of the infrared burner, most drippings and food parcles that
fall onto the burner surface are immediately incinerated. However, some debris and residue may remain. To
remove this residue aer cooking, turn the grill on high with lid closed for 5-10 minutes. Do not clean the
ce
ramic le with a wire brush. If debris is collecng on your burner, simply light the burner and operate on
high for 5 minutes with the lid open, allowing debris to burn o.
