Leaking gasket surrounding the ceramic tile, or a weld
failure in the burner housing.
Both gas propane and natural gas – improper preheating.
Possible spider web or other debris.

Solution
Ensure lighting procedure is followed carefully. All gas valves must
be in the OFF position when the tank valve is turned on. Turn tank
on slowly to allow pressure to equalize. See Operation – "Lighting
Instructions".
Pipe must be sized according to installation code.
Allow burner to cool and inspect very closely for cracks. Contact
your authorized Napoleon dealer to order replacement burner
assembly if any cracks are found.
Preheat grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes.
Thoroughly clean nest or webs out of your burner orifice by
removing it and following instructions in this manual.
See "Leak Test".
Open or close air shutter slightly according to this manual.
See "Maintenance Instructions".
IMPORTANT! This must be done by a qualified gas installer.
Check gas level in propane cylinder.
Reposition supply hose as necessary.
Turn the burners off and close the tank valve, wait 5 minutes
before fully re-opening the valve, allow a few seconds for the
pressure to equalize before following the Lighting Instructions to
start the grill. Ensure igniting procedure is followed carefully every
time you cook. All gas valves must be OFF when the tank valve is
turned on. Always open the tank valve slowly.
Solution
This is not a defect. The finish on the lid and hood is porcelain
or stainless steel and will not peel. The peeling is caused by
hardened grease, which dries into paint-like shards, that flake off.
Regular cleaning will prevent this. See "Cleaning instructions".
