1. Follow the infrared side burner lighng instrucons and operate on high for 5 minutes with the lid opened
or unl the ceramic burners glow red.
2. Place food on grills and cook according to mes listed in the Infrared Grilling Chart.
3. Depending upon your taste, connue cooking over infrared burners on high, medium or low, turning food
frequently, or place food on the main burner area of the grill, close lid, and allow oven temperature to slowly
nish cooking your food.
CAUTION! Due to the intense heat the infrared burners provide, food le unaended over burners will
burn quickly. Keep the lid open when cooking with the infrared burners on high. The intense heat ensures
adequate searing temperatures even with the lid open. This also allows observaon of the food, so as to
prevent burning.
Protecon Of Your Infra Red Burners: The infrared burners of your grill are designed to provide a long service
life. However, there are steps you must take to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces, which will cause the
burners to malfuncon.
Never let water come in direct contact with your ceramic burner.
Do not allow hard objects to impact the infra red burner.
Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in contact with hot ceramic burners. A large
temperature dierenal can cause cracking of the ceramic le.
Damage caused by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.
Infrared Heat
Most people don’t realize that the heat source we are most familiar with, our sun, warms the earth using
mainly infrared energy. This is a form of electro-magnec energy with a wavelength just greater than the red
end of the visible light spectrum but less than a radio wave. This energy was discovered in 1800 by Sir William
Herschel who dispersed sunlight into its component colors using a prism. He showed that most of the heat in
the beam fell into the spectral region just beyond the red end of the spectrum, where no visible light existed.
Most materials readily absorb infrared energy in a wide range of wavelengths, causing an increase in its
tem
perature. The same phenomenon causes us to feel warmth when we are exposed to sunlight. The infrared
rays from the sun travel through the vacuum of space, through the atmosphere, and penetrate our skin. This
causes increased molecular acvity in the skin, which creates internal fricon and generates heat, allowing us
to feel warmth.
Foods cooked over infrared heat sources are heated by the same principle. Charcoal grilling is our most familiar
choice for infrared cooking. The glowing briquees emit infrared energy to the food being cooked with very
lile drying eect. Any juices or oils that escape from the food drip onto the charcoal and vaporize into smoke
giving the food its delicious grilled taste. The Napoleon infrared burner cooks in the same way. In each burner,
10,000 ports – each with its own ny ame – cause the surface of the ceramic le to glow red. This glow emits
the same type of infrared heat to the food as charcoal, without its hassle or mess. Infrared burners
also pro
vide a more consistently heated area that is far easier to regulate than a charcoal re. For instant
searing, the burners can be set to high, yet they can also be turned down for slower cooking. We all know how
dicult that is on a charcoal re. Tradional gas burners heat the food in a dierent way. The air surrounding
the burner is
heated by the combuson process and then rises to the food being cooked. This generates
lower grill
temperatures that are ideal for more delicate cuisine such as seafood or vegetables, whereas
Napoleon’s in
frared burners produce searing heat for juicier, taser steaks, hamburgers and other meats. For
cooking mes and ps refer to the Infrared Grilling Chart.
