Stainless In Harsh Environments - Napoleon PRESTIGE PRO 500 Manuel Du Propriétaire

Stainless steel oxidizes or stains in the presence of chlorides and sulfides,
especially in coastal regions, warm and highly humid areas, and around
pools and hot tubs. These stains look like rust, but they can be easily
removed or prevented. Wash stainless and chrome surfaces every 3-4
weeks. Clean with warm soapy water.
Burner Maintenance
• Extreme heat and a corrosive environment can cause surface
corrosion to occur even though the burner is made from heavy wall
304 stainless steel.
Maintenance and Protection of Infrared Burners
Your infrared burners are designed to provide a long service life, but you
must be careful to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces. Fractures will
cause the burners to malfunction.
!
IMPORTANT! Damage resulting from by failure to follow these
instructions is NOT covered by your grill warranty.
Replacing Oven Halogen Bulbs (if equipped)
• Remove the screw securing the housing in place.
• Snap the lens and metal bracket out of the housing.
• Wearing protective gloves, gently pull the old bulb from the socket
and replace with the new bulb.
• Reinstall the lens into the housing and bend the tabs on the front
back into position.
Steps to Avoid Damaging Ceramic Surfaces
1. Never douse a flame or control flare-ups with water.
2. Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose etc.) to come in contact
with hot ceramic burners. An immediate change in temperature will
cause cracking of the ceramic tile.
3. A ceramic burner that becomes wet before use will create steam
when operated later and produce pressure that will crack the
ceramic.
4. Repeated soaking of the ceramic can cause it to swell and expand
producing pressure that will make the ceramic crack and crumble.
5. Inspect the ceramic for possible water soaking if you find standing
water in the grill. Remove the burner if the ceramic is wet. Turn it
upside down to drain the excess water. Bring ceramic indoors to dry
thoroughly.
6. Do not allow hard objects to impact the burner. Take care when
inserting or removing cooking grids and using accessories.
Clearance Ventilation of hot air
• Hot air must have a way to escape the grill for the burners to
function properly.
• The burners can become deprived of oxygen if the hot air is not
allowed to escape causing them to back-flash. The ceramic can
crack if this occurs repeatedly.
WARNING! Turn off gas at the source and disconnect the unit before servicing.
WARNING! Maintenance should only be done when the grill is cool to avoid the possibility of burns.
WARNING! A leak test must be performed annually and when any component of the gas train is replaced, or when
the smell of gas is present.
WARNING! Always wear protective gloves when changing the halogen bulb in your grill.
