PLANNING YOUR NAPOLEON MODULAR OUTDOOR ISLAND
The Napoleon Outdoor Modular Island series has been developed with versality in mind. The cabinets
can be assembled in virtually any combinaon to suit your individual needs. They can be assembled
against a house wall or as a standalone island, becoming the focal point of your backyard. With mul-
funcon and storage capabilies, your backyard island can be transformed into an outdoor kitchen,
placing the host in the center of the acon when entertaining guests.
The cabinets are designed to be easy to assemble and install for either the home owner or private
contractor. All cabinets are 35” (889 mm) tall by 24” (610 mm) deep. All cabinets are 24” (610 mm) wide
except for the BUILT-IN grill cabinets whose width correspond to the width of the unit it was designed for.
The temperature control is located at the back of the fridge. The cabinet has a removable panel which
allows access to the temperature control. Ensure that there is access to the panel when the cabinet is
installed. Each cabinet has 4 leveling feet for adjustment on even surfaces. The 2 drawer cabinets are
made to t the Napoleon BUILT-IN series of grills only, available in several dierent sizes. BUILT-IN grills
come in several dierent sizes. Refer to the installaon manuals that come with the grill head for proper
installaon and operang instrucons.
The BUILT-IN series of grills can be ordered in your choice of propane or natural gas conguraon.
Natural gas is an obvious selecon for many people that already have it available in their home. All gas
modicaons or installaons must be done by a qualied gas installer. Knockouts are present in the side
and rear panels for easy piping and installaon. For those who order a propane grill, a propane tank
cabinet is available.
The cabinets can be installed against a NON-COMBUSTIBLE wall of a house, a masonry or stucco half-wall,
or freestanding in an island conguraon. Ensure there is adequate venlaon behind the fridge cabinet –
a minimum gap of 6”(150mm) is required between the back of the cabinet and adjacent structures. Never
block the vents located on the back of the cabinet. Failure to do so can result in the fridge overheang.
An oponal 4” (102 mm) spacer panel must be purchased and installed when placing an island against a
wall to allow clearance for the grill lid to open. The spacer also provides closure for the cabinet to prevent
debris or rodents from entering behind the cabinets. A powdercoated, 2” (51 mm) wide end panel can be
purchased to cover the knockouts and mounng holes in the outside panels in a run of cabinets, giving a
more nished look.
When ulizing 45
o
and 90
o
transions in your design, modules on either side of the transion need to be
chosen carefully. If doors or drawers are used on either side of the transion, they will interfere with each
other when opened. If a drawer module is placed next to a grill, the control panel on the grill will prevent
the top drawer from opening. The same applies to the paper towel/garbage module. Door modules can
be used with 45
o
transions, but the control panel will prevent the door from fully opening and may
damage the door. The best module for this applicaon is the 2 drawer module (false drawer at the top).
Oponal built-in sideburner kits are available through your Napoleon Gas Grill dealer. These sideburner
kits are an excellent complement to the BUILT-IN series of grills. We recommend that the sideburner kit
be installed over top of the IM-2DC cabinet. It has the false drawer front at the top of the cabinet which
allows clearance for the sideburner valve and hose roung. The IM-2DC cabinet also provides the
necessary clearance for those who would like to install a sink in their outdoor kitchen.
Countertops must be ordered and supplied locally by the homeowner. The countertop material must be
NON-COMBUSTIBLE if a grill is to be installed into it. They can be ordered in advance by drawing out the
oorplan of how the cabinets will be situated and adding up the width measurements, allowing 1-2 inches
(25 mm-51 mm) of countertop overhang. Most countertop manufacturers are willing to come and take
measurements aer assembly of the cabinets is complete to ensure a perfect t.
The built-in grillhead comes with stainless steel brackets and hardware that allow the unit to rest on the
countertop above the corresponding island cabinet for that unit. Granite or Corian are excellent choices
of countertop materials. In order for the drip pan to slide in and out properly, the grill head must be
supported by a countertop with a thickness between ½” (13mm) and 1 ½” (38mm).
Decorave countertops made of ceramic le set on top of cement ling board can be made to match your
surrounding backyard furniture colors.
