*Conditions and Limitations
This Limited Warranty creates a warranty period as specified in the
aforementioned table, for any product purchased through an authorized NAPOLEON
dealer, and entitles the original purchaser to the specified coverage in respect of
any component replaced within the warranty period, either by NAPOLEON or an
authorized NAPOLEON dealer, to replace a component of such product that has
failed in normal private use as a result of a manufacturing defect. The “50% off”
indicated in the table means the component is made available to the purchaser at
a 50% discount off the regular retail price of the component for the period
indicated. This Limited Warranty does not cover accessories or bonus items.
For greater certainty, “normal private use” of a product means that the product:
has been installed by a licensed, authorized service technician or contractor, in
accordance with the installation instructions included with the product and all
local and national building and fire codes; has been properly maintained; and has
not been used as a communal amenity or in a commercial application.
Similarly, “failure” does not include: over-firing, blow outs caused by
environmental conditions such as strong winds or inadequate ventilation,
scratches, dents, corrosion, deterioration of painted and plated finishes,
discoloration caused by heat, abrasive or chemical cleaners or UV exposure,
chipping of porcelain enameled parts, or damages caused by misuse, accident,
hail, grease fires, lack of maintenance, hostile environments such as salt or
chlorine, alterations, abuse, neglect or parts installed from other manufacturers.
Should deterioration of parts occur to the degree of non-performance (rusted
through or burnt through) within the duration of the warranted coverage, a
replacement part will be provided. The replacement component is the sole
responsibility of NAPOLEON defined by this Limited Warranty; in no event will
NAPOLEON be responsible for installation, labor or any other costs or expenses
related to the re-installation of a warranted part, for any incidental,
consequential, or indirect damages or for any transportation charges, labor costs
or export duties.
This Limited Warranty is provided in addition to any rights afforded to you by local
laws. Accordingly, this Limited Warranty imposes no obligation upon NAPOLEON
to keep parts in stock. Based on the availability of parts, NAPOLEON may at its
discretion discharge all obligations by providing a customer a prorated credit
towards a new product. After the first year, with respect to this Limited Warranty
NAPOLEON may, at its discretion, fully discharge all obligations with respect to
this warranty by refunding to the original warranted purchaser the wholesale price
of any warranted but defective part(s).
The bill of sale or copy will be required together with a serial number and a model
number when making any warranty claims from NAPOLEON.
NAPOLEON reserves the right to have its representative inspect any product or part
prior to honoring any warranty claim. You must contact NAPOLEON Customer Service
or an authorized NAPOLEON dealer to obtain the benefit of the warranty coverage.

Cooking Instrucons
When lit for the rst me, the grill will emit a slight odour. This is a normal temporary condion caused by
the burning of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again.
Simply run the thermostat on high with the lid open for approximately ½ hour. When cooking very lean
meats, such as chicken breasts, or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before pre-heang to reduce scking.
Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content may create are-ups. Either trim some fat or reduce
temperatures to prevent this.
WARNING! Do not use this grill under extended awnings. Failure to follow these instrucons
could result in a re or personal injury.
DANGER! Allow the grill to cool to the touch before moving or storing. Failure to do so could result
in a re resulng in property damage, personal injury or death.
Grilling Chart
Preheat on HIGH for 15-20 minutes with a closed lid, then set to desired temperature. This is a guideline
for cooking in outdoor temperature of 22⁰C.
To add a trademark taste to your cooking, try the Napoleon woodchip smoker as an oponal accessory
with mesquite- or hickory-avoured woodchips.

Cleaning Instrucons
WARNING! Always wear protecve gloves and safety glasses when servicing 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 grill is turned o. Clean grill in an area where cleaning
soluons will not harm decks, lawns, or paos. 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 deterioraon of the grill components unless cleaned regularly.
Cast Iron Cooking Grids: The cast iron cooking grids supplied with your new grill oer superior heat retenon
and distribuon. By regularly seasoning your grids you are adding a protecve coang, which will aid in
resisng corrosion and increase your grids non-sck capabilies.
First Time Use: Wash the cast iron 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 so cloth. This is important to avoid moisture from entering the cast iron. When lit for the rst me,
the grill will emit a slight odour.
Seasoning: Using a so cloth, spread VEGETABLE SHORTENING over the enre grid surface ensuring all
grooves and corners are covered. Do not use salted fats such as buer or margarine. Pre-heat your grill for 15
minutes, then place the seasoned cooking grids in the grill. Turn the burner control knobs to medium with the
lid closed. Allow the cooking grids to heat for approximately one-half hour. Turn the controller to OFF and let
the cooking grids stand unl cool. This procedure should be repeated several mes throughout the season,
although it is not required for daily use (follow daily usage procedure below).
Daily Usage: Before pre-heang and cleaning with a brass wire grill brush, coat the enre 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.
Cleaning Inside The Grill: Remove the cooking grids. Use a so brass wire brush to clean loose debris from
the insides of the lid. Brush all debris from inside the grill into the removable drip pan. Remove the base liner
(drip pan grease catcher). Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the porcelain base liner. To remove stubborn
stains, soak in soapy water to loosen dirt. Clean with a non-abrasive cleaner and bu dry with a clean cloth.
Ensure that the grill plate is placed properly when reinstalled.
Drip Pan: Slide the drip pan out for easy cleaning. It should be cleaned frequently (every 4-5 uses) to avoid
grease buildup. Grease and excess drippings accumulate in the drip pan located under the grill. Accumulated
grease can cause a re hazard. Do not line the drip pan with aluminum foil, as it can prevent the proper
amount of air needed for burner to operate. The pan should be scraped out with a puy knife or scraper.
Cleaning the Outside of the Grill: Do not use any abrasive cleaners to clean painted parts. To protect the
enamel nish, use a mild detergent with so cloth or brush to wipe away and remove any acidic residue. Bu
dry with a clean cloth.
