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.
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 and chrome surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as often 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-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. Never apply abrasive cleaners
on any stainless surfaces, especially the printed portion of the control panel or the printing will gradually
rub off.
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.

WARNING!
Drip Pan: Clean the drip pan frequently (every 4 – 5 uses or as often as required) 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 Grill dealer.
Cleaning The Outer Grill Surface: 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. 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 non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. Over time, stainless
steel parts discolor when heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discoloration is normal and does
not affect the performance of the grill. Porcelain enamel components must be handled with additional
care. The baked-on enamel finish is glass-like, and will chip if struck. Touch-up enamel is available from
your Napoleon Grill dealer.
Lights: The lens face can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft, clean rag. For stubborn stains, a
small amount of degreaser may be used. Do not use abrasive cleaners as this may scratch or damage the
lens.
Side Burner: After cooking, it is recommended to leave the side burner operating on high until anything
which may have spilled on the burner has burned off. The outer ring of the burner can be cleaned with
a brass wire brush. Never brush the center portion of the burner as this will damage the ceramic. If
the ports in the outer ring begin to close due to corrosion or drippings,
supplied port maintenance bit to clean them. Drill out blocked ports using this drill bit in a small cordless
drill.
