WARNING! Lava rocks may have sharp or rough edges, wear safety glasses and gloves when handling. Do not change or substitute the lava rock material provided  with this appliance. If replacing, use only replacement rocks vailable from your local authorized dealer / distributor.
WARNING! To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the appliance is off. 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 and chrome surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as often 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. Never apply abrasive cleaners on any stainless surfaces, especially the printed portion of the control panel or the printing will gradually rub off.
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.
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. 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 lava rocks.

To clean the inside of the burner, it must be removed from the appliance: Remove the lava rocks 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.
Reinstallation: Reverse the procedure to reinstall the burner. Check that the valve enters the burner when installing. Replace the lava rock. When the appliance is put back in service, check the burner flame pattern with the image below.
