CHECKING AND CONVERTING GAS TYPE

This barbecue comes from the factory confi gured
for one type of gas, as marked on the label behind
the barbecue face plate.

Converting this barbecue to burn a different
type of gas requires a conversion kit from the
factory. The professional installer that converts
this barbecue to burn a different gas must
perform the following functions:

1. Change replaceable, brass gas orifi ces (included at

original shipping) on each burner to match the new
gas type (see PRODUCT DATA TABLE, Table 1).

2. Switch the convertible gas regulator (included

at original shipping) to match the new gas type
(see below).

3. Plumb the unit to the new gas supply.

WARNING

HAZARDOUS OVERHEATING WILL OCCUR
IF A NATURAL GAS ORIFICE IS USED WITH
PROPANE GAS. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF THE
CORRECT ORIFICES ARE INSTALLED, OR IF AN
ORIFICE CHANGE IS NECESSARY, REFER TO
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION: Make sure the barbecue is at a safe

temperature and isolated from gas and
electrical supplies before beginning
the tasks outlined below.

Note: The cooler the barbecue, the greater

the tolerances between the stainless
steel parts, and therefore, the easier to
disassemble and reassemble parts of the
barbecue.

4. Apply a new label behind the faceplate, indicating

the new gas the barbecue will burn (included
with conversion kit).

CHECKING AND CONVERTING THE REGULATOR

Barbecue regulator:
note the cap on top

STEP 1:

Unscrew and remove the cap from the
regulator, extracting the converter.

Note: Each end of the plastic converter is engraved with either the letters NAT or

L.P. (propane) for the respective gasses. When the converter is in the cap
and the cap is held uppermost, the letters seen indicate the gas that the
regulator is set up for.

To convert the regulator from one gas to another, follow steps 1-4.

BARBECUE SAFETY INFORMATION & MAINTENANCE

Each time you use the barbecue, make sure that:

1. The area around the barbecue is clear of fl ammable

vapors, liquids, and substances such as gasoline,
yard debris, wood, etc.

2. There is no blockage of the air fl ow through the vent

space located below the face of the unit.

3. When using propane gas:
a. The special ventilation openings in the enclosure

are kept free and clear of debris (see PLANNING
THE LOCATION OF THE BARBECUE).

b. If connected to a propane cylinder, the rubber hose

attached to the regulator is carefully inspected
before each use.

c. The propane cylinder, regulator, and rubber hose are

installed in a location not subject to heating above
125° F (51° C).

4. The burner fl ames burn evenly along both sides of

each burner with a steady fl ame, which is mostly
blue with yellow tipping. (Refer to section on AIR
SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT.) If burner fl ames are not
normal, check the orifi ce and burner for insects or
insect nests.

5. The in-line gas valve or gas cylinder valve is always

shut OFF when the barbecue is not in use.

6. The drip collector hole is clear and unobstructed.

Excessive grease deposits can result in a grease
fi re.

7. The barbecue is free and clear from combustible

materials, gasoline, and other fl ammable vapors
and liquids.

DRIP COLLECTION SYSTEM

The drip collector in this barbecue is part of the unit’s
main frame and is located below the burners. The drip
collector has one hole that will allow excess drippings to
fall through during cooking, while separating the fi rebox
from the drip tray. Clean the drip tray after each use.

The drip collector allows you to brush or scrape residue
from the barbecue’s inner liner into the drip tray.
Following the manufacturers instructions and regular
cleaning of the barbecue’s interior with oven cleaner,
will help to prevent grease fi res.

Periodically, check the burners to make sure they are
clear of debris. The burner fl ames burn evenly along
both sides of each burner with a steady fl ame (mostly
blue with yellow tipping). If burner fl ames are not normal,
check the orifi ce and burner for insects or insect nests.
(See section on CHECKING/CONVERTING THE
BURNER ORIFICES for instructions on burner removal
and replacement.)

Check the burner ports at least annually for blockage by
removing the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions)
and visually inspect the gas intake tube for insects
and nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fi re beneath
the grill.

SETTING THE TIMER

Before following the lighting
instructions (opposite page),

BARBECUE CARE & CLEANING

CARE AND CLEANING

Your new Fire Magic barbecue represents the latest
and most advanced technology available. In order
to continue to enjoy the benefi ts of this technology
and to protect your investment, we recommend the
following:

Cover your barbecue with a Fire Magic cover when
not in use.

Clean the unit with a quality stainless steel cleaner
at least once a month (see Fig. 17-1).

Note: In a humid environment, due to the

nature of stainless steel, iron oxide
deposits may appear. Do not be alarmed
– these deposits are removable with
stainless steel cleaner during periodic
maintenance.

BARBECUE COVER

Check the burner ports at least annually for blockage
by removing the burner (see orifice changing
instructions) and visually inspecting the gas intake
tube for insects and nests. A clogged tube can lead
to a fi re beneath the grill.

The inside of the barbecue may be cleaned
periodically with oven cleaner if desired. Follow
the oven cleaner
instructions for
proper use.

By following these
recommendations,

Wipe with grain

you will enjoy the
beauty and power
of your barbecue
for many years to
come.

Fig. 17-1 - Wipe with grain

PROTECTING YOUR BARBECUE

An optional heavy-duty cover will protect the fi nish
on your barbecue and preserve your investment.
The water repellent material will shield your
barbecue from corrosion and oxidation.

To provide a custom fi t, each cover has been cut
and sewn by hand for a particular smoke oven
model. Make sure to give the model number of
your barbecue when ordering a cover from the

manufacturer or your local dealer.

To maintain and protect your barbecue cover,
occasionally wipe the outside with a sponge soaked

in water and a mild household detergent or cleaner,
and rinse with a clean damp cloth.

Important: Allow your barbecue to cool before

covering.

Important: Always close the gas supply

shut off valve to the barbecue.
If storing the barbecue for a long
period of time, disconnect the
barbecue from the gas supply
completely.

Always check the burners after long periods
of disuse to look for obstructions that may
hamper performance and safe operation of your
barbecue.

ACCESSORIES

USING THE GRILL SCRAPER

The triangular stainless-steel piece with serrated edges is
designed to be used as a tool to quickly and easily scrape
food particles and drippings off the grill after barbecuing.
To use it, simply align one of the edges of the scraper
so that the cooking grid
bars fi t into the grooves
in the serrated edge, and
then scrape it along the
length of the cooking grid.
Repeat as needed.

Fig. 18-1

Grill scraper use

USING THE COOKING GRILL LIFTER

Hold the grill lifter by gripping the center section with
the prongs pointing down (use an oven mitt or heavy
glove if the grill is hot). Insert the notched end of the grill
lifter into the grill, in front of the midway point (front to
back-Fig. 18-3), and central (left to right-Fig. 18-4).
Twist the grill lifter (clockwise or counterclockwise) so
the handle is parallel to the grill rods. This “seats” the
spiked end of the grill lifter between two rods, enabling
you to safely lift the grill out of the barbecue. Lift slowly
and adjust the grill lifter, if necessary, to balance.

DRIP PAN

WARMING RACK

The warming rack (Fig. 18-2) is packed separately
with the barbecue.

To install the warming rack, lift the front of the rack up
slightly and insert the rack hangers into the two holes
in the back of the barbecue above the backburner. Then
lower the front of the rack into a level position to lock the
rack in place.

To remove the warming rack, lift up on the front of the
rack until the rack hangers pull free from their supporting
holes.

Note: For best results, remove the warming rack

before using the rotisserie.

Fig. 18-2 Warming rack in place inside oven

The drip collection system allows you to brush or scrape
excess dried residue inside the barbecue directly into
the drip pan (see PARTS LIST for drip pan location).
To simplify cleanup when using the rotisserie, you may
place a baking pan or foil under the rotisserie to collect
the drippings. Clean the drip pan after each use.

THE FLAVOR GRID(S)

Place each fl avor grid directly on a burner or burner pair.
Center each grid over the burner, oriented as shown
in Fig. 18-5.

Note: This allows heat from the burners to be evenly

distributed throughout the cooking area. The
fl avor grids heat and cool quickly, making the
barbecue very responsive to the changes in
heat from the burners.
