WARNING! Glass embers may have sharp edges, wear safety glasses and gloves when handling. Do not
change or substute the glass ember material provided with this appliance. If replacing, use only replacement
glass embers available from your local authorized dealer / distributor.
WARNING! To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the pao ame
is cool. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Ensure burner is turned o. Turn gas o at source and
disconnect the pao ame before servicing. Clean the pao ame in an area where cleaning soluons will
not harm decks, lawns, or paos. Do not use ammable, corrosive or abrasive cleaners.
Note: Stainless steel tends to oxidize or stain in the presence of chlorides and suldes, parcularly in coastal
areas and other harsh environments, such as the warm, highly humid atmosphere around pools and hot tubs.
These stains could be perceived as rust, but can be easily removed or prevented. To provide stain prevenon
and removal, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as oen as required with fresh water and/or
stainless steel cleaner.
Control Panel: The control panel text is printed directly on the stainless steel and with proper maintenance
will remain dark and legible. To clean the panel, use only warm soapy water or stainless steel cleaner available
from your Napoleon dealer. Never apply abrasive cleaners on any stainless surfaces, especially the printed poron
of the control panel or the prinng will gradually rub o.
Maintenance / Cleaning Instrucons
Burner: The burner is made from heavy wall 304 stainless steel, but extreme heat and a corrosive environment
can cause surface corrosion to occur. This can be removed with a brass wire brush. Inspect the burner at least
annually for cracks, insect nests, excessive corrosion or any other damage. If the burner is damaged, it must be
replaced with a burner specied by the manufacturer before the appliance is put into operaon.
CAUTION! Beware of Spiders.
Spiders and insects are aracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The burner is equipped with an insect
screen on the air shuer, which reduces the likelihood of insects building nests inside the burner but does not
enrely eliminate the problem. A nest or web can cause the burner to burn with a so yellow or orange ame or
cause a re (ashback) at the air shuer underneath the control panel. Other warning signs that may indicate a
problem are:
• Strong or unusual odor coming from the pao ame.
• Connued diculty or delayed ignion.
• Flame appears either very short or very long.
• Flame only burns part way across the burner.
• Excessive soot building up on the glass embers.
To clean the inside of the burner, it must be removed from the pao ame: Remove the glass embers and
examine the burner. If dirty, clean with a wire brush. Remove the screws that aach the glass ember tray and
the nuts from the boom of the burner. Slide the burner back and up wards to remove.
Cleaning: Use a exible venturi tube brush to clean the inside of the burner. Shake any loose debris from the
burner through the gas inlet. Check the burner ports and valve orices for blockages. Burner ports can close
over me due to debris and corrosion, use an opened paperclip or a drill bit to clean them The ports are easier
to clean if the burner is removed from the pao ame, but it can also be done with the burner installed.
WARNING! Hose: Check for abrasions, melng, cuts, and cracks in the hose. If any of these condions
exist, do not use the pao ame. Have the part replaced by your Napoleon dealer or qualied gas installer.
Cleaning Inside The Pao Flame: While washing your pao ame, be sure to keep the area around the burner
and pilot assembly dry at all mes.
WARNING! If the gas control is exposed to water in any way, DO NOT try to use the pao ame. The
gas control must be replaced.
