COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
When lit for the first time, the gas grill will emit a slight odour. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the "burn-in" of internal
paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again. Simply run the main burners on high for approxi-
mately ½ hour.
MAIN BURNER USE: When searing foods, preheating is recommended by operating all main burners in the high position with the
lid closed for approximately 10 minutes. Food cooked for a short period of time (fish, vegetables) may be grilled with the lid open.
Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher, more even temperatures that will reduce cooking time and cook meat more evenly.
Food that has a cooking time longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, may be cooked indirectly (with the burner lit opposite to the food
placement). When cooking very lean meats, such as chicken breasts, or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before pre-heating to
reduce sticking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content, may create flare-ups. Either trim some fat or reduce temperatures
to prevent this. Should a flare-up occur, move food away from flames, reduce heat. Leave the lid open.
REAR BURNER USE:
Remove the warming rack prior to use.
Cooking grids should also be removed if they interfere with the
rotisserie. This gas grill is equipped with a 14,000 BTU rear burner. The rear burner is designed to be used in conjunction with the
rotisserie kit (included with Prestige units) available from your dealer. See the rotisserie kit assembly instructions. To use the
counterbalance, remove the rotisserie motor from the gas grill. Place the spit with meat being cooked across the hangers inside the
grill. The meat will naturally hang with the heavy side down. Tighten the counterbalance arm and weight, so that the arm is facing up.
Slide the counterweight in or out to balance the load, and tighten in place. Re-install the motor and begin cooking. Place a dish
underneath to collect drippings for basting and naturally delicious gravy. Basting liquid may be added as required. To seal in juices,
first operate rear burner on high until brown, then reduce the heat to thoroughly cook foods. Keep the lid closed for best results. Your
roasts and fowl will brown perfectly on the outside and stay moist and tender on the inside. For example, a 3 pound chicken on the
rotisserie will be done in approximately 1½ hours on medium to high.
SIDE BURNER USE: The side burner can be used like any range top burner, for gravies, soups etc. The gas grill should be located
so that the side burner is protected from the wind, because the wind will adversely affect it's performance.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that the burners are turned off prior to cleaning. 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 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.
GRIDS AND WARMING RACK - The grids and warming rack are best cleaned during the pre-heat period with a soft brass wire
brush. Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. Stainless grids (optional) will discolour permanently from normal usage, due to
the high temperature of the cooking surface.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GAS GRILL - Remove cooking grids. Use a soft brass wire brush to clean loose debris from casting sides
and insides of the lid. Scrape sear plates with a putty knife or scraper, and use a wire brush to remove ash. Remove sear plates
and brush debris off of burners with a brass wire brush. Brush all debris from inside the gas grill into the drip pan. The pan should
be scraped out with a putty knife or scraper, and all the debris should be scraped into the disposable grease tray. This tray should
be replaced every two to four weeks, depending on gas grill usage. For supplies, see your NAPOLEON Gas Grill dealer. Ensure
that the sear plates are placed properly when they are reinstalled (Check assembly instructions for proper orientation).
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAS GRILL - Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean any painted, or stainless steel parts.
Exterior grill surfaces should be cleaned while warm to the touch, with warm soapy water. To clean stainless surfaces, use a
stainless steel cleaner or a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool, as it will scratch
the finish. Stainless steel parts will discolour when heated, usually to a golden or brown colour. This discolouration is normal and
will not affect the performance of the grill.
SOLIDO SIDE SHELVES - Clean side shelves with warm soapy water, and a plastic bristle brush.
