Cleaning Instructions
Warning! Always wear protective 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 off. 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
Note: Stainless steel tends to oxidize or stain in the presence of chlorides and sulfides, particularly 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 prevention and removal, wash all stainless steel surfaces every
Grids And Warming Rack: The grids and warming rack are best cleaned with a brass wire brush during the pre- heating 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 Continental brand stainless steel cleaner available from your Napoleon dealer. Never apply abrasive cleaners on any stainless surfaces, espe- cially the printed portion of the control panel or the printing will gradually rub off.
Infrared Burners: Because of the high intensity of the infrared burner, most drippings and food particles that fall onto the burner surface are immediately incinerated. However, some debris and residue may remain. To remove this residue after cooking, turn the grill on high with lid closed for
Cleaning Inside The Gas Grill: Remove the cooking grids. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the casting sides and underneath the lid. Scrape the sear plates with a putty 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 fire hazard. Clean the drip pan frequently (every 4 – 5 uses or as often 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 flowing properly. The pan should be scraped out with a putty 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 finish. Exterior grill surfaces should be cleaned with warm soapy water while the metal is still warm to the touch. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel or a
