GENERAL INFORMATION

This gas barbecue is certified under Canadian and American national standards, CSA 1.8 - 2002 and ANSI Z83.11 - 2002 respectively for outdoor gas grills, with references to ANSI Z21.57 - 2001, CSA 1.16 M79 (r1996), NFPA 302, CFR title 33, ANSI Z21.89 - 2002, ANSI Z21.72b - 2002, and CSA 11.2b - 2002 and should be installed to conform with local codes. In absence of local codes, install to the current National Fuel Gas Code CAN/CGA-B149.1 or ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, natural gas and propane installation code.

Use only the pressure regulator provided with this barbecue. Replacement pressure regulators must be supplied by or specified by the manufacturer. The regulator supplies a pressure of 22 inches water column to the gas grill and has a female CGA#600 type fitting. To install the regulator, screw it into the threaded hole on the right side of the grill. Tube burners may have to be pushed upwards slightly from underneath to ensure that the orifice is aligned with the opening in the burner. 1 lb disposable cylinders to be used with this unit must be equipped with a male CGA #600 type connection. This cylinder has a positive seating connection, which will not allow gas flow until a positive seal has been achieved. To install the cylinder simply screw it into the regulator - tighten hand tight.

OPTIONAL SUPPLY HOSE INSTRUCTIONS: An optional hose is available from your Napoleon Dealer that allows the grill to be connected to a 20 lb (9.1 kg) cylinder. A dented or rusted cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Use only a propane supply cylinder constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) or the US Department of Transportation (DOT). The propane cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in a propane cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief device having direct communication with the vapour space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapour withdrawal and the cylinder shall include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate a listed OPD (overfill protection device). To use the hose, connect it (note the the connection to the 20 lb cylinder is a left hand thread) between the tank valve and the regulator on the grill. These connections should be tightened hand tight, and leak tested when performing a leak test. Ensure that the cylinder valve is turned off whenever the grill is not in use.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: The burning of gas fuel creates byproducts, some of which are on the list as substances known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. When cooking with gas, always ensure adequate ventilation to the unit, to minimize exposure to such substances.

IMPORTANT DO'S AND DON'TS

DO'S

Read the entire instruction manual before operating the gas grill.

Maintain proper clearance to combustibles (6" to rear of unit, 4" to sides). Additional clearance is recommended near vinyl siding or large panes of glass.

Leak test the unit before initial use, annually and and whenever any gas components are replaced.

Follow lighting instructions carefully when operating grill.

Ensure sear plate is positioned properly. The holes must be towards the right side of the gas grill.

Clean grease tray and sear plates regularly to avoid build-up which may lead to grease fires.

Inspect infra-red burner venturi tubes for spider webs and other obstructions periodically. Clean the tubes completely if you find any such obstructions.

If installed on a boat or R.V. supplied with a regulated propane source, the fuel line must be tee’d off prior to the pressure regulator of the boat or R.V.

DON'TS

Do not route hose (optional) underneath drip pan - proper hose clearance to bottom of unit must be maintained.

Do not locate unit under unprotected combustible construction.

Do not leave grill unattended when operating.

Do not light burners with lid closed.

Do not move grill when hot or operating.

Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in contact with ceramic burners. A large temperature differential can cause cracking in the ceramic tile.

Do not clean the ceramic tile with a wire brush. If debris is collecting on your burner, simply light the burner and operate on high for 5 minutes with the lid open, allowing debris to burn off.

Do not use water, beer, or any other liquids to control flare-ups.

Do not pinch electrode lead between bottom surface of grill and folding leg.

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