Cooking Instrucons
Inial Lighng: When lit for the rst me, the gas grill emits a slight odor. This is a normal temporary condion
caused by the “burn-in” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and does not occur
again. Simply run the main burners on high for approximately one-half hour.
Convenonal Main Burner Use: When searing foods, we recommend preheang the grill by operang all
main burners in the high posion with the lid closed for approximately 10 minutes. Food cooked for short pe-
riods of me (sh, vegetables) can be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher,
more even temperatures that can reduce cooking me and cook meat more evenly. Food that has a cooking
me longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, can 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-heang to reduce scking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content can create are-ups. Either trim
the fat or reduce temperatures to inhibit this. Should a are-up occur, move food away from the ames and
reduce the heat. Leave the lid open. See Your All Season Grill cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instruc-
ons.
Rear Burner Use (If Equipped): Remove the warming rack prior to use. Cooking grids should also be removed
if they interfere with the rosserie. The rear burner is designed to be used in conjuncon with the rosserie
kit (included with most rear burner units) available from your dealer. See the rosserie kit assembly instruc-
ons.
To use the counterbalance - remove the rosserie 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 the arm is facing up. Slide the counterweight in or out to balance the
load and ghten in place. Re-install the motor and begin cooking. Place a metal dish underneath the meat to
collect drippings for basng and naturally delicious gravy. Basng liquid may be added as required. To seal in
juices, rst operate rear burner on high unl 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 rosserie will be done in approximately 1½ hours on
medium to high. See ‘Your all Season Grill’ cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instrucons.
WARNING! Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioraon of the gas grill
components unless cleaned regularly. When nished cooking disassemble rosserie components, wash
thoroughly with warm soapy water and store indoors.
Direct Cooking: Place food to be cooked on the grill directly over the heat. This method is generally used for
searing or for foods that do not require prolonged cooking mes such as hamburgers, steaks, chicken pieces,
or vegetables. The food is rst seared to trap-in the juices and avor, and then the temperature is lowered to
nish cooking the food to your preference.
Indirect Cooking: With one or more burners operang, place food to be cooked on the grill over a burner that
is not operang. The heat circulates around the food, cooking slowly and evenly. Cooking with this method is
much the same as cooking in your oven and is generally used for larger cuts of meats such as roasts, chickens
or turkeys, but can also be used for cooking foods that are prone to are-ups or for smoking foods. Lower tem-
peratures and slower cooking mes result in tender foods.
Infrared Main Burner Use: Follow the Infrared Burner Ignion procedures and operate on high for 5 minutes
with the lid closed or unl the ceramic burners glow red. Place food on the grill(s) and cook according to mes
listed in the Infrared Grilling Chart. Depending upon your taste, connue cooking over infrared burners on
high, medium, or low, turning food frequently, or place food over unlit burners, close lid, and allow the oven
temperature to slowly nish cooking your food.
CAUTION! Due to the intense heat the infrared burners provide, food le unaended over burners
will burn quickly. Keep the lid open when cooking with the infrared burners set to high. The intense heat
ensures adequate searing temperatures even with the lid open. This also allows observaon of the food to
prevent burning.
Side Burner Use (if equipped): The side burner can be used like any stove top burner, for gravies, soups etc.
For best performance, the gas grill should be located with the side burner protected from the wind.
WARNING! Never grill food directly on the side burner grate. It is designed for use with pots and pans
only.
