Operating Instructions
Your Napoleon Built-In 700 Series Gas Grill features 4 stainless steel main burners and 1 infrared rear rotisserie burner, providing versatile cooking options.
Ignition System
The grill is equipped with an Instant JETFIRE™ Ignition system, which provides instant and reliable ignition. This battery-free system shoots a jet of flame to light each gas burner individually for quick start-ups.

Additionally, cross-lighting burner brackets automatically ignite adjacent burners if one goes out or fails to light, ensuring continuous operation.

Using the Burners
- Ensure the gas supply is open.
- Push in and turn the desired control knob to the HIGH position.
- The JETFIRE ignition will automatically light the burner. If it doesn't light within 5 seconds, turn the knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and try again.
- Adjust the heat by turning the knob between HIGH and LOW settings.

Infrared Rear Rotisserie Burner

Integrated Lighting
For enhanced visibility and ambiance, the ergonomic control knobs are backlit, glowing blue when off and changing to red when the burners are in use. Additionally, integrated halogen interior hood lights illuminate your grilling surface, making nighttime grilling a joy.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Keeping your Napoleon grill clean is essential for longevity and performance. The grill is designed for easy maintenance with dual-level stainless steel sear plates and angular grease management plates.
Figure 9: Stainless Steel Sear Plates. This image shows the stainless steel sear plates positioned above the burners. These plates protect the burners from drippings and help vaporize fats, contributing to flavor and reducing flare-ups.
- Sear Plates: The dual-level stainless steel sear plates protect the burners from damage and help vaporize food drippings, enhancing flavor.
- Grease Management: Perforated, angular grease management plates channel any unvaporized drippings into a collection system, significantly reducing buildup and the risk of grease fires. Regularly clean the grease tray.
- Cooking Grids: The 9mm stainless steel cooking grids are designed to be virtually maintenance-free. After each use, brush off any food residue with a grill brush while the grids are still warm.
- Exterior: Clean the stainless steel exterior with a mild soap and water solution, then wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent streaks.
