cool. 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 grill. Do not use a
self-cleaning oven to clean cooking grids or any other parts of the grill. Barbecue sauce and salt can be
corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the grill components unless cleaned regularly.
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.
Cleaning Inside The Grill: Remove the cooking grids. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from
the bowl and the insides of the lid. Scrape the inside of the bowl with a putty knife or scraper, and use
a wire brush to remove ash. Sweep all debris from inside the grill into the removable ash/drip pan. If
desired you can wash the inside of the grill with a mild detergent and water. Rinse well with clear water
and wipe dry.

buildup.
Ash/Drip Pan: Ashes, grease and excess drippings pass through to the ash/drip pan, located beneath the
charcoal grill, and accumulate. To clean, slide the pan free of the grill. Never line the 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, and all the debris brushed into a non-combustible metal
container. Wash the ash/drip pan with a mild detergent and water. Rinse well with clear water and wipe
dry.
Cleaning The Outer Grill Surface: Exterior grill surfaces should be cleaned with warm soapy water while
the metal is still warm to the touch.
Cleaning Stainless Steel: To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel or a non-abrasive cleaner. Always
wipe in the direction of the grain. Over time, stainless steel parts discolor when heated to a golden or
brown hue. This discoloration is normal and does not affect the performance of the grill.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted, porcelain or stainless steel parts of your
Napoleon Grill. Doing so will scratch the finish.
