PLANNING FOR INSTALLATION OF YOUR REGAL I DROP-IN SERIES BARBECUE

WHERE TO INSTALL YOUR GAS BARBECUE

Fire Magic barbecues are designed for outdoor use
only.

WARNING

Built-in models must be installed in masonry or other
type of fi reproof enclosure, unless an insulating liner is
purchased from the manufacturor. The unit alone is not

insulated, and therefore must be installed with 18" (45.7

cm) of side, front, and back clearance from unprotected

combustible materials, such as wood, plastic, or stucco

with wood framing.

Do not install this unit under unprotected fl ammable
surfaces. Do not install or use this appliance inside a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area, including
recreational vehicles and/or boats.

In order to install the unit within combustible materials
you must purchase and utilize the Regal drop-in
insulation liner kit. See instructions received with
your liner for directions on how to install.

This is a drop-in type unit designed to fi t into countertop
enclosures. The top panel of the unit is removable for gas
hookup, servicing and burner adjustment.

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 barbecue
enclosure may obstruct the frame and prevent
the unit from dropping into place (see GAS
SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS).

INSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
VENTILATION

You must maintain proper air fl ow for your Fire Magic
barbecue to perform as it was designed (as shown, below,

Fig. 8-1). If airfl ow is blocked in any way, overheating

in
and poor combustion will result. Make sure not to block
the air inlet around the inside edges of the top panel.

Vents at

Vents at

cylinder level

Cylinder Level

EXHAUST REMOVAL

If installed under a patio roof, the grill area should
be fully covered by a chimney and exhaust hood. An
exhaust fan with a rating of up to 1000 CFM (472 liters
per second) or more 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.

ELECTRICAL OUTLETS

All electrical outlets in the vicinity of the barbecue must
be properly grounded.

Note: Keep electrical supply cords away from all

heated surfaces.

GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

When natural gas is to be used, rigid 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4"
(.75 cm) black steel pipe, or local code approved pipe for
temperatures up to 800°F (427°C), is required to conduct
the gas supply into the enclosure opening for connection
to the unit.

Note: An external valve (with a removable key) in

the gas line is necessary for safety when
your barbecue is not in use. It also provides
for convenient maintenance and repair.

Apply only joint compounds that are resistant to all
gasses on all male pipe fi ttings. Make sure to tighten
every joint securely. Do not use pipe joint compound to
connect fl are fi ttings. The gas supply pipe should enter
from the fl oor, or from the back or side wall in the right
rear corner of the barbecue enclosure, behind the valve
control zone. This pipe should terminate with a 1/2" (1.3
cm) male pipe thread, situated within 12" (30.5 cm) of
the countertop and no more than 6" (15.24 cm) from
the back and side walls.

GAS SUPPLY AND MANIFOLD PRESSURES:

For natural gas - normal 7" (17.78 cm) water column
(w.c.),

For propane gas - normal 11" w.c., minimum 10" (25.4 cm),
maximum 13" (33 cm).

minimum 5" (12.7 cm), maximum 10 1/2" (26.7 cm).

SAFE USE & MAINTENANCE OF PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS

IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY

READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS PROVIDED WITH THE PROPANE GAS CYLINDER.

When operating this appliance with a propane gas cylinder these instructions and warnings MUST be observed.

FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

CYLINDER AND CONNECTOR
REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIFICATIONS

a. Propane gas cylinders and valves must be maintained in

good condition and must be replaced if there is visible
damage to either the cylinder or valve.

b. This barbecue, when used with a cylinder, should be

connected to a standard 5 gallon (20lb.) propane gas
cylinder equipped with an OPD (Overfill Prevention
Device). The OPD has been required on all cylinders sold
since October 1,1998 to prevent overfi lling.

c. Cylinder dimensions should be approximately 12"

(30.5cm) in diameter and 18" (45.7cm) high. Cylinders
must be constructed and marked in accordance with
the specifi cations for propane gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada,CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres
and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods.

d. The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder

valve and the cylinder supply system must be arranged
for vapor withdrawal.

e. The pressure regulator and hose assembly (Fig. 9-1)

supplied with this outdoor cooking gas appliance must be
used. Original and replacement pressure regulator and
hose assemblies must be those specifi ed by the Robert
H. Peterson Co. for connection with a cylinder connecting
device identifi ed as Type I by the ANSI Z 21.58 and CGA

1.6-M95-1995 with Addenda ANSI Z 21.58a -1998 and
CGA 1.6a - M98.

f. The propane gas cylinder valve must be equipped with a

cylinder connection coupling device, described as Type
I in the standard defi ned in paragraph e. above. This
device is commonly described as an Acme thread quick
coupler.

g. If the propane gas cylinder comes with a dust plug, place

the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use.

QUICK COUPLER OPERATION

To connect the regulator/hose assembly to the propane
gas cylinder valve fi tting: Press the hand nut on the regulator

over the Acme thread fi tting on the cylinder valve. Turn the hand
nut clockwise to engage the threads and tighten until snug.

The use of pliers or a wrench should not be necessary. Only
cylinders marked propane must be used.

To disconnect: Turn the hand nut counter-clockwise until
detached (Fig. 9-1).

Important: Before using the barbecue, and after each

time the cylinder is removed and reattached,
check all connections for leaks. Turn off the
barbecue valves and open the main cylinder
valve, then check connections with soapy
water. Repair any leaks before lighting the
barbecue.

CAUTION: Always turn the propane cylinder main valve

off after each use, and before moving the
barbecue and cylinder, or disconnecting the
coupling. This valve must remain closed and
the cylinder disconnected while the appliance
is not in use, even though the gas fl ow is
stopped by a safety feature when the coupler
is disconnected.

Carefully inspect the hose assembly each time before the
gas is turned on. A cracked or frayed hose should be replaced
immediately.

If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be
disconnected and removed.

Cylinders must be stored out of

doors, out of the reach of children, and must not be stored

in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

a. DO NOT store a spare propane gas cylinder under or near

this appliance.

b. NEVER fi ll the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
c. IF THE INFORMATION IN “a” AND “b” IS NOT FOLLOWED

EXACTLY, A FIRE CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY MAY OCCUR.

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.

4. Apply a new label behind the faceplate, indicating

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

BARBECUE SAFETY INFORMATION & MAINTENANCE

Each time you use the barbecue, make sure that:

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

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.

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 (mostly blue
with yellow tipping. See section on AIR SHUTTER
ADJUSTMENT). If burner fl ames are not normal,
check the orifi ce and burner for insects or insect
nests.

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.

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

Periodicaly 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 orifi ces
for instructions on burner removal and replacement).

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.

WARNING

NEVER cover the entire cooking or grill surface with griddles or pans. Overheating will occur and

burners will not perform properly when combustion heat is trapped below the cooking surface.

CAUTION: NEVER spray water on a hot gas unit.

ROTISSERIE INSTRUCTIONS

USING YOUR BACKBURNER AND
ROTISSERIE

Rotisserie cooking with the backburner is accomplished
without use of the main burners. Follow the steps in the
appropriate sections below to set up and use these
accessories (see PARTS LIST for image).

SET UP

1. Remove the backburner cover (if present) by sliding

it upward off of the backburner.

2. Remove the cooking grids from your barbecue,

if necessary, to obtain maximum clearance for
larger cuts. The fl avor grids may also be removed if
required.

backburner.

10 minutes on HI LIGHT setting.

PUTTING THE MEAT ON THE SPIT ROD

1. Slide the meat and spit prongs onto the spit rod so the

meat is centered and balanced as well as possible.

2. Tighten the spit prongs into place so that the meat

remains in a fi xed position on the rod and the meat
rotates with the rod.

Important: The counterbalance, which is included

with your rotisserie kit, should be used
to balance the load on your rotisserie
and prolong the life of your motor. Heavy
unbalanced meats can stress the rotisserie
motor and may cause motor failure.

USING THE COUNTERBALANCE SUPPLIED
WITH YOUR ROTISSERIE

1. Hold the spit rod at each end and lift. Do not grip
the rod. Let the rod rotate so the heavy side of the

meat hangs down naturally.

2. Turn the counterbalance on

the spit so the counterbalance
rod and weight point upward,
or opposite from the heavy
side of the meat. Tighten the
counterbalance rod in the hub
against a fl at surface of the spit
rod to secure (Fig. 19-1).

3. Loosen the thumb screw and

slide the weight along the
counterbalance rod to balance
the meat. Since meats are not
a uniform shape, it may not
be possible to achieve a perfect balance. Properly
balanced meat should not rotate when you hold the
spit rod loosely by the ends.

4. Make sure the counterbalance will not strike the

barbecue frame when the rotisserie is started.

Fig. 19-1

Thumb
screw

RUNNING THE ROTISSERIE

1. Place the pointed end of the spit rod into the motor

drive socket and rest the handle end of the spit rod in
the spit bracket on the right side of the barbecue.

2. Plug in (if necessary) and turn on the rotisserie

motor.

3. Use a standard roasting guide to estimate the length

of time for your meat. A meat thermometer may also
be used to tell when your favorite cuts are cooked
to your liking. When testing temperatures with a
thermometer, turn off the rotisserie motor and turn
the backburner on LOW. This will keep the meat
from over cooking on one side.

Note: When burning properly the backburner fl ames

will be blue with yellow tipping and the grating
will glow red. The fi rst time it is used the
backburner may smoke a little.

Important: Operate your backburner with the oven

closed. This simulates an oven effect and
helps your meat cook faster. Constant
rotation of the spit assures even cooking
and maximum retention of juices.

Note: On large cuts of meat or whole turkeys, it may

be necessary to reduce the heat from your
backburner. Cooking your food at a lower
temperature for a longer period of time will
keep the outer surface from burning while
cooking the interior of your meat. In any case
it is normal for the back burner grating to glow
red when oprating properly.

REPLACING THE IGNITOR BATTERY

1. Remove the ignitor cover by turning it counter-clockwise.

Important: Do not

attempt to pull or
turn the rubber cap.

2. Remove battery for
replacement. The battery
is re-installed with the
negative (-) end out.

WRONG!!

3. After properly inserting the

battery, replace the ignitor cover

Note: If you have accidently removed the rubber cap,

follow the instructions below to replace it.

1. Pull the rubber
cap and the inner
plastic sleeve
apart.

2. Carefully insert
the rubber cap into
the ignitor cover so

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. 21-1

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. 21-3), and central (left to right-Fig. 21-4).
Twist the grill lifter (clockwise or counter-clockwise) 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. 21-2) 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. 21-2 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 Flavor grid directly on a burner or burner
pair. Center each grid over the burner, oriented as
shown in Fig. 21-6.

Note: This allows heat from the burners to be evenly

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

WOOD-CHIP SMOKER

Your optional backburner is supplied with a wood­chip box. The wood-chip box is designed to sit on
top of the backburner assembly over the notch in the
heat defl ector (see Fig. 21-5). This box is designed
to be used when the backburner is in use. To use the
box, just dampen your favorite wood chips and put
them inside; then set it in place. If you wish to refi ll
the wood-chip box when it is hot, you may carefully
handle it using a pair of insulated pliers. You must
be very cautious not to get burned.

PROTECTING YOUR BARBECUE

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

manufacturer or your local dealer.

To maintain and protect the 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 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.
