CAUTION

Do not strike or scrape the ceramic portion of the burner with hard tools, as the material may crack, chip,
or break. Prevent any grease, water, or other foreign material from getting into the ceramic portion of
the burner, especially when it is cold. Always wait for the burner to heat up to a well-distributed red glow
before placing food on the cooking grid above it. When the burner is hot, it will vaporize small amounts
of grease that drip on it. Always cover the burner when not in use. Keeping the ceramic portion of the
burner free of foreign substances will allow the gas to circulate and burn over the entire heating surface,
allowing for powerful and even cooking over the life of the burner.

PLANNING FOR INSTALLATION OF THE SEARING STATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THE SEARING STATION

FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY

WARNING: The unit must have a minimum of 18" right, left, and back clearance from unprotected combustible

construction such as wood, plastic, or stucco with wood framing. If installing this unit in a
combustible surround, the correct R.H. Peterson insulating liner must be used.

Do not install this unit under unprotected fl ammable surfaces. Do not install or use this appliance inside
a building, garage, or any other covered or enclosed area. It must not be used in or on recreational
vehicles or boats.

This is a slide-in type unit designed to fi t into open-front enclosures. The control panel of the unit is removable
for gas hookup, servicing, and conversion. The control panel must remain removable after the unit is installed.

Installer Note: This unit should be installed so that it can be removed at a later date if factory service is required.

Any protrusion into the searing station enclosure may prevent the unit from sliding into place
(see GAS-SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS section).

ENSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND COOLING
AIRFLOW

You must maintain proper airfl ow for the Fire-Magic® Searing Station to
perform as it was designed (Fig. 4-1). If airfl ow is blocked, overheating
and poor combustion will result. Make sure not to block the 1" front
air inlet along the bottom of the control panel or more than 75% of
the support grid surface with pans or griddles.

Note: The 1" front air space allows access to the drip tray.

Hanger

IMPORTANT

The hanger
requires 2" of
countertop on
each side and
back to support

the unit.

EXHAUST REMOVAL

If installed under a patio roof, the cooking grid area should be fully covered by a chimney and exhaust hood. An
exhaust fan with a rating of up to 1,000 CFM (472 liters per second) may be necessary to effi ciently remove smoke
and other cooking by-products from the covered area. Installation in fully enclosed patio areas is not recommended.
