MAINTENANCE

ALWAYS COVER FUEL INLET WITH DUST CAP TO PREVENT

OBSTRUCTION FROM DEBRIS OR SPIDER WEBS WHEN NOT IN USE.

Stainless steel exposed to high heat for prolonged periods will change in color and
texture. The radiant plates and other internal parts, used to distribute heat evenly
across the grill, do so by deflecting high heat over a large surface area. This pro­longed exposure to high temperature will cause the plates to change color. This
“bluing” and later “browning” is normal and will not affect the product operation.

Exterior Stainless Steel Components

We recommend that you clean grill after each use. Use soapy water with a soft
cloth or sponge. Rinse with fresh water and dry. We also recommend that you
cover the grill between uses. Optional covers are available from your retailer or
directly from Magma.

Interior Stainless Steel Components

We recommend cleaning after each use. Oven/Grill Cleaner is recommended to
remove burnt-on residue.

Igniter Electrode

The igniter electrode, located just beside the burner, should be kept clean of all
grease and debris. Wipe it clean with a soft cloth. Care should be taken not to
damage the ceramic insulation, spark electrode or bend the electrode wire during
this process.

Grill Grates

We recommend that you clean the grill grates with a brass wire brush while the
grill is warm. They can then be washed by hand as required. Oven/Grill Cleaner is
recommended to remove burnt-on residue.

Control Valves

The valves were adjusted, set, and tested at the factory. You should not attempt to
adjust the valves. Call MAGMA if you suspect that your valve is not properly adjust­ed.

Removal and Cleaning the Burner Tubes

A WORD ABOUT STAINLESS STEEL

• Inspect valve oriface while burner is removed, clean if needed.
