WARNING! Always wear protecve gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your pao torch.
WARNING! To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the pao torch
is cool. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Ensure burner is turned o. Turn gas o at source and
disconnect the pao torch before servicing. Do not touch or move the pao torch for at least 45 minutes
aer use. Clean the pao torch in an area where cleaning soluons will not harm decks, lawns, or paos. Do
not use ammable, corrosive or abrasive cleaners.
Maintenance / Cleaning Instrucons
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.
Cleaning Inside The Pao Torch: While washing your pao torch, 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 torch. It must be
replaced.
WARNING! Carbon deposits may create a re hazard. Clean the reector and the glass tube with
warm soapy water if any carbon deposits develop. Always use cauon when cleaning the glass tube.
Cleaning The Outer Pao Torch Surface: Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted, porcelain
or stainless steel parts of your Napoleon Pao Torch. Doing so will scratch the nish. Exterior torch surfaces
should be cleaned with warm soapy water. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel or a non-abrasive
cleaner. Always wipe in the direcon of the grain. Over me, stainless steel parts discolor when heated, usually
to a golden or brown hue. This discoloraon is normal and does not aect the performance of the pao torch.
Porcelain enamel components must be handled with addional care. The baked-on enamel nish is glass-like,
and will chip if struck. Touch-up enamel is available from your Napoleon dealer.
WARNING! The pao torch area must be clear and free from combusble materials, gasoline and
other ammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the ow of combuson and venlaon air. Keep the
venlaon opening of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
This pao torch must be thoroughly inspected and serviced annually by a qualied service person.
CAUTION! Beware of Spiders
Spiders and insects are aracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The nest or web will cause the
burner to burn with a so yellow or orange ame or cause a re (ashback). The ceramic burner ports do not
require cleaning. The burner venturi can be cleaned with a pipe cleaner or venturi brush if debris has accumulated.
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 torch. Have the part replaced by your Napoleon dealer or qualied gas installer.
