Cleaning Instructions

WARNING!
Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your grill.
WARNING!
To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool.
Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Ensure all burners are turned off. 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.
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 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 or stainless steel cleaner available
from your Napoleon dealer. Never apply abrasive cleaners on any stainless surfaces, especially the printed
portion of the control panel or the printing will gradually rub off.
Infrared Burners: Because of the high intensity of the infrared burner, most drippings and food particles that
fall onto the burner surface are immediately incinerated. However, some debris and residue may remain.
To remove this residue after cooking, turn the grill on high with lid closed for 5-10 minutes. 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.
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.
Drip Pan: Accumulated grease is a fire hazard. 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 Gas 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.
