Glass embers may have sharp edges, wear safety glasses and gloves when handling.
Do not change or substitute the glass ember material provided with this appliance. If replacing, use

WARNING!
To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the
appliance is . Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Ensure burner is turned off. Turn gas off at
source and disconnect the appliance before servicing. Clean the appliance in an area where cleaning
solutions will not harm decks, lawns, or patios. Do not use flammable, corrosive or abrasive cleaners.
Note
: Stainless steel tends to oxidize or stain in the presence of chlorides and sulfides, particularly 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 prevention and removal, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as often as required
with fresh water and/or stainless steel cleaner.
Maintenance / Cleaning Instructions
Burner
: The burner is made from 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 specified by the manufacturer before the appliance is put into operation.
CAUTION!
Beware of Spiders.
Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The burner is equipped with an
insect screen on the air shutter, which reduces the likelihood of insects building nests inside the burner
but does not entirely eliminate the problem. A nest or web can cause the burner to burn with a soft yellow
or orange flame or cause a fire (flashback) at the air shutter underneath the control panel. Other warning
signs that may indicate a problem are:
• Strong or unusual odor coming from the appliance.
• Continued difficulty or delayed ignition.
• 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 appliance: Remove the glass embers and
examine the burner. If dirty, clean with a wire brush.
Cleaning: Use a flexible 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 orifices for blockages. Burner ports can
close over time 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 appliance, but it can also be done with the burner
installed.
WARNING!
Hose: Check for abrasions, melting, cuts, and cracks in the hose. If any of these
conditions exist, do not use the appliance. Have the part replaced by your Napoleon dealer or qualified
gas installer.
Cleaning Inside The Appliance
: While washing your appliance, be sure to keep the area around the burner
and pilot assembly dry at all times.
WARNING!
If the gas control is exposed to water in any way, DO NOT try to use the appliance.
The gas control must be replaced.
