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: 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.
Cast Iron Cooking Grids: The cast iron cooking grids supplied with your new grill offer superior heat
retention and distribution. By regularly seasoning your grids you are adding a protective coating, which
will aid in resisting corrosion and increase your grids non-stick capabilities.
First Time Use: Wash the cooking grids by hand with mild dish soap and water to remove any residue
from the manufacturing process (never wash in a dish washer). Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry
completely with a soft cloth. This is important to avoid moisture from entering the cast iron.
Seasoning: Using a soft cloth, spread VEGETABLE SHORTENING over the entire grid surface ensuring all
grooves and corners are covered. Do not use salted fats such as butter or margarine. Pre-heat your grill
for 15 minutes, then place the seasoned cooking grids in the grill. Allow the cooking grids to heat for
approximately one-half hour. Let the cooking grids stand until cool. This procedure should be repeated
several times throughout the season, although it is not required for daily use (follow daily usage procedure
below).
Daily Usage: Before pre-heating, and cleaning with a brass wire grill brush, coat the entire top surface of
the cooking grids with VEGETABLE SHORTENING. Pre-heat the grill and then brush away any unwanted
residue with a brass wire brush.
