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/CONNECTOR REQUIREMENTS
a. Propane-gas cylinders, valves, and hoses must be
maintained in good condition and must be replaced if
there is visible damage to either the cylinder or valve. If the
hose is cut or shows excessive abrasion or wear, it must
be replaced before using the gas appliance (see e.).
b. This unit, when used with a cylinder, should be connected
to a standard 5-gallon (20 lb.) propane-gas cylinder
equipped with an OPD (Overfi ll 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" (30.5
cm) in diameter and 18" (45.7 cm) 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 used must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve, and the cylinder supply system must be
arranged for vapor withdrawal.

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” may be used.
To disconnect: Turn the hand nut counterclockwise until
detached (Fig. 15-1).
Important: Before using the unit, and after each time the
cylinder is removed and reattached, check
the hose for wear (see a.) and check all
connections for leaks. Turn off the unit valves
and open the main cylinder valve, then check
connections with soapy water. Repair any
leaks before lighting the unit.
CAUTION:Always turn the propane cylinder main valve
off after each use, and before moving the unit
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 must be replaced
immediately.
If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be
disconnected and removed. Disconnected
cylinders must be
stored outdoors, out of the reach of children, with threaded
valve plugs tightly installed, 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.

Infrared burner:
• DO NOT place food on the cooking grid until the IR burner glows orange (Fig. 23-3). Drippings
are heated and evaporate instead of sticking to and
impairing burner function.
• For cleaning purposes; always leave your burner
on (after cooking) for an additional 5 minutes, to
allow for a burnoff period. This is important to
keep your burner clean and operating properly.
WARNING
Only handle the infrared burner cover when the
grill is cold or with a well-insulated long-handled
tool or heat resistant gloves.

• When not in use, always cover the infrared burner
with the stainless-steel cover. This protects the
burner from drippings (from other cooking), airborne
particles, and foreign objects (Fig. 23-2).
• Do not strike or scratch the burner ceramic as it
may chip, crack, or break (Fig. 23-2).
Note: Digital thermometer does not give accurate
readings for infrared burners.
Important: When grilling with the infrared burner,
always place a cooking grid above it.
The cooking grid must be removed for
rotisserie cooking.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate your IR burner with the
oven hood closed.
CAUTION: Never attempt to operate the IR burner
with the protective cover in place.
Fig. 23-3
Drips and particles evaporate before hitting infrared
burner when cooking at the maximum setting.
Note: Flavor grids are not to be used with infrared
burners.
To ensure proper operation, all infrared burners
(back and main) must be operated on the HI setting
for a minimum of 10 minutes. Thereafter, the fl ame
may be lowered as desired.
CAUTION: Always monitor the infrared burner fl ame
when operated on low, as it may blow
out in high-wind conditions.

GRILLING TIPS
The art of grilling involves learning the nuances of your
grill and knowing how various cuts of meat and other
foods cook on it under different settings and conditions.
Each grill will be unique due to its configuration
and how it is positioned or installed. This section
contains information about how Fire Magic grills were
engineered, which will help you in learning how your
grill responds to the way you use it.
WIND CONSIDERATIONS
Wind direction can have an effect on the grill,
especially with the oven open. For maximum stability
and convenience, position the grill so that the oven
opens toward any prevailing wind (Fig. 24-1).
GRILL HEAT DISTRIBUTION - MAIN BURNERS
The heat level at each part of the grill has been
engineered for specifi c purposes. Knowing the heat
distribution for each burner will allow you the best
possible food positioning when grilling.
CAUTION: Even the coolest part of the grill is too
hot to be touched during operation of
the grill.
The front of the grill is designed, for safety reasons,
to be the coolest part of the grill. If you look directly
down on the grill top, while it is off and cool, you can
see this portion of the grill, where the front end of each
burner stops and the slope of the inner grill fi re wall
begins. This area also loses heat most rapidly when
the oven lid is opened (see Fig. 24-2).
From the front of the grill moving toward the back, the
heat rises gradually until just above the burner’s front
edge, where it rises rapidly to a fairly even temperature
refl ected by the thermometer. The heat continues to
rise gradually until it reaches a maximum directly
above the place where the two lobes of each burner
connect (see Fig. 24-2). From there to the back of
the grill, heat diminishes moderately. This supports
the desired temperature for the warming rack and
prevents heat from becoming excessive at the back
fi re wall of the grill.
Fig. 24-1

wind blows in this direction
Fig. 24-2

GRILL HEAT DISTRIBUTION - IR BURNER
Infrared burners are designed for even, searing
heat across their whole surface. Because the heat
is radiant, it tends to heat the food you are cooking
directly without heating the air around it as much as
a conventional burner.
24
ACCESSORIES
THE GRILL BRUSH (optional)
Purchase a Fire Magic® stainless-steel grill brush (sold
separately) to keep your grill cleaner. It comes with
scraper for large particles and a replaceable head with
brass bristles for overall cleaning.
Fig. 25-1
Grill brush with replacement head
THE COOKING GRID LIFTER
Hold the grid 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 grid lifter
into the cooking grid, in front of the midway point (front
to back; Fig. 25-3), and central (left to right; Fig. 25-4).
Twist the grill lifter (clockwise or counterclockwise) so
the handle is parallel to the grill rods. This “seats” the
spiked end of the grid lifter between two rods, enabling
you to safely lift out the grid. Lift slowly and adjust the
grid lifter, if necessary, for balance.
THE WARMING RACK
The warming rack (Fig. 25-2) is packed separately.
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 inner oven hood. 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: Removing the warming rack before using the
rotisserie will leave more clearance for the
meat being cooked. (if applicable)
Fig. 25-2 Warming rack in place inside oven
THE DRIP TRAY
The drip collection system allows you to brush or scrape
excess dried residue from the grilling area directly into
the drip tray (see PARTS LIST for drip tray location).
THE FLAVOR GRID(S)
Place each fl avor grid directly over a burner. The solid
areas of the grid should rest over the tabs found on the
burner. See Fig. 25-5. The slightly larger grids are
designed to be placed over the outside burners,
and the slightly smaller grid(s) are designed to be
placed over the interior burner(s).
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
grill very responsive to changes in heat from
the burners.

THE ROTIS-A-LIGHT (OPTIONAL)
This fl exible grill lighting solution
(sold separately)
will enhance your outdoor cooking experience by
enabling you to continue cooking long after the sun
has set. The Rotis-A-Light has two multi-directional
fl exi-angles, making this a completely versatile and
indispensable light suitable for any grilling location.

FIRE MAGIC® DRIP TRAY
Drippings from grilling flow through specially
designed channels and collect in the drip tray . Check
the drip tray regularly and empty when required.
Fig. 26-1
Fig. 26-3
Be sure liner fi ts under lighting instruction plate
Your grill includes a pack of four (4) Fire Magic
®
drip tray liners (Fig. 26-1). For your convenience
in cleanup, place a liner into the drip tray before
grilling.
To fi t a liner into the drip tray, pull out the tray and
set it on a fl at, level surface. Place the liner in the
drip tray as shown in Fig. 26-2 and carefully insert
the tray back under the control panel.
Note: Be sure that the liner is properly placed into
the the drip tray. The front of the liner must fi t
under the drip tray's lighting instruction plate
(see 26-3 detail).
After each use, wait for the grill to cool and carefully
pull out the drip tray to check it. When a liner is
nearing full, carefully lift it out of the drip tray, lifting
with both hands to keep the tray level until it is safely
discarded. Then insert a new drip tray liner.
Order more drip tray liners through your local Fire
Magic® dealer.
Note: The foil tray liner is also useful for setting on
burners to cover them and catch drippings
directly during rotisserie only cooking.
Note: There are easy to follow lighting instructions
Note:For models with match holders attached
etched onto the top of the drip tray handle.
inside the drip tray, place the match holderoff to one edge of the pan (Fig. 26-3). Ifnecessary, mold the foil liner around themand the other features of the tray to createenough clearance space to open and closethe tray without catching the liner.

CARE & CLEANING
APPLIANCE MUST BE COMPLETELY COOL WHEN
CLEANING. DO NOT SPRAY ANY CLEANER OR
LIQUIDS ON THE APPLIANCE WHEN HOT.
The appliance must be cleaned as often as once a month
(depending on use) to prevent grease build-up and other
food deposits.
INTERIOR
THE BURNER PORTS AND CARRY-OVER PORTS/
SLOTS MUST BE KEPT CLEAN TO ENSURE PROPER
IGNITION AND OPERATION.
Remove the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions)
and clean the ports and slots as required. (For Fire Magic
grills use Maintenance Kit part #MK-1.) Also inspect and
clean the burner inlet for insects and nests. A clogged
burner can lead to a fi re in the bottom of the appliance.
The inside of the appliance may be cleaned periodically
with oven cleaner if desired. Follow the oven cleaner
instructions for proper use.
Be careful not to get oven cleaner on the outside surface
of the appliance as it can permanently damage the fi nish.
EXTERIOR
Stainless steel surfaces when exposed to temperatures
produced by the grilling process will change color. The
stainless steel will change color from silver to brown
and blue. This can be removed by using stainless steel
cleaner.
Clean your appliance by fi rst using grill cleaner to remove
grease and dirt. Always wipe with the grain (See Fig.
27-1). Next, use stainless steel cleaner to restore the
stainless steel color (Note: not for mirror fi nish). Finish
by wiping your appliance down using polish wipes. To
clean any mirror fi nish (if applicable), use a quality
brand glass cleaner only, not any of the cleaners
mentioned above.
If your appliance is installed in a seaside (salt air) or
poolside (chlorine) location, it will be more susceptible
to corrosion and must be maintained/cleaned more
frequently. Do not store chemicals (such as chlorine or
fertilizer) near your stainless steel appliance.
Wipe with grain
Fig. 27-1 - Wipe with grain
PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE FROM THE
WEATHER
An optional cover will protect your appliance when not
in use. (Allow to cool before covering.)
Please specify the model number and serial number
of your appliance when ordering a cover.
IMPORTANT
IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, IMMEDIATELY
SHUT OFF THE MAIN GAS VALVE TO THE GRILL.
KEEP THE LID OPEN AND ALLOW THE FIRE TO
EXTINGUISH ITSELF. A THOROUGH INSPECTION
BY A TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN SHOULD
BE CONDUCTED BEFORE FUTURE USE OF YOUR
GRILL. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN WILL CHECK
THE SYSTEM FOR GAS LEAKS AND WILL CHECK
ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR DAMAGE. ALL GAS
LEAKS AND WIRING MUST BE REPAIRED PRIOR
TO FUTURE USE.
Due to the nature of stainless steel, surface iron oxide
deposits may appear. Do not be alarmed – these deposits
are removable with stainless steel cleaner through prompt
and periodic maintenance. If not attended to promptly,
permanent pitting may occur.
By following these recommendations, you will enjoy the
beauty and convenience of your appliance for many years
to come.
27
REPLACING HALOGEN BULBS
Fire Magic® grills are all engineered with the
conveniences of electrical power for illuminating and
igniting the grill.
To replace any oven light, follow the instructions below.
Important: ONLY REPLACE WITH 12V / 10 WATT
HALOGEN BULB(S).
WARNING
To protect from potentially sharp sheet metal and
glass, wear gloves and safety glasses during this
procedure.
1. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position
and shut off the gas supply to the grill at the source
(tank valve for propane units or gas line shut-off
valve for natural gas units.)
2. Disconnect supply of external electrical power to
the grill.
CAUTION: Wait for the grill, oven, lens, light bulb,
and fi xture to cool before proceeding to
the next step.
3. Open the oven lid.
Important: Place one hand directly below the glass
lens and prepare to catch it when it is
detached.
4. Carefully insert a standard fl at head screwdriver
or thin plastic spatula between the glass lens and
the stainless steel on which the light is mounted
and gently pry the glass lens out in such a way
that the stainless steel is not scratched (twisting
the screwdriver handle, for instance). Catch the
lens and set it safely aside.
Note: You may wish to take this opportunity to clean
the lens with a standard household window
cleaner and then dry it completely.
5. Wearing a pair of gloves, reach into the fi xture,
gently grab the bulb, and pull it straight out of the
fi xture so that the two pins at the base of the bulb
come all the way out.

CONVERTING THE GAS TYPE
REGULATOR CONVERSION
The gas regulator, located behind the control panel, must
be set for the type of gas used to fuel the grill. To check
the regulator setting, remove the cap in the center of the
regulator (Fig. 29-1). Holding the cap vertical (see Fig.
29-2), the letters at the bottom of the plastic stalk indicate
the gas type for which the regulator is currently confi gured.
If the bottom of the regulator stalk does not indicate the
gas connected to the grill, remove the stalk from the cap,
invert, and replace into center of cap. Replace cap on the
regulator, screwing down until snug.

Fig. 29-1
GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION
This Fire Magic® grill comes from the factory confi gured
for one type of gas as marked on the label behind the
control panel. When the grill is converted, this label
must be replaced or updated to identify the new gas.
Each burner has a brass orifi ce, which can be replaced
and must match the gas being used. When converting
the grill to a different gas, each burner’s orifi ce must
be replaced with the corresponding orifi ce for the new
gas.
Natural-gas to propane-gas conversions using a
tank internal to a portable grill require installation of
a propane tank holder (not included) for safety and
compliance with the ANSI standards referenced on
the cover of this document. This tank holder must be
purchased separately from the manufacturer.
Consult Table 1 at the beginning of this document to
determine the proper orifi ce sizes for each burner.
It is critical to the operation of each burner that its orifi ce
be fully inserted into the center of its orifi ce opening.
WARNING
Hazardous overheating will occur if a natural-gas
orifi ce is used with propane gas.
CAUTION: Make sure the grill is at a safe
temperature and isolated from gas and
electrical supplies before beginning.
For your safety, exercise caution, and make sure you
have adequate hand protection, such as gloves, when
handling metal parts.

BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Important: Air shutters are preset at the
factory based on the gas the grill is
built to burn. However, altitude or
other local conditions may require
air shutter adjustment for proper
combustion.
MAIN BURNER
Flames from a properly adjusted main burner with
no wind or breeze present will appear fairly steady,
consistent, and mostly blue. If the tip of a fl ame were
to turn orange, it should only do so briefl y and then
become blue again. The fl ames will appear to burn
while touching the burner ports (see Figure 31-1).
If the fl ames have orange in them and appear to
undulate slowly from side to side, or if some of them
appear to lift off the burner instead of touching it,
then adjust the air shutter, as instructed below.

If the air shutter opening is too small or closed, the
fl ames will present consistently orange tips and
become “lazy,” slowly undulating back and forth.
For propane gas, ideal settings tend to be just
slightly open. For natural gas, which generally
requires less primary air than propane, the main
burner air shutter may be nearly closed.
3. Adjust the air shutter opening and then replace
the burner (steps 6-8 in the CHANGING THE
MAIN BURNER ORIFICES section)
4. Follow the lighting instructions in this manual to
light the burner.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until the fl ames appear to

The air shutter is set at the factory. However,
altitude or other local conditions may require air
shutter adjustment for proper combustion.
Blue fl ames behind burner screen
Fig. 32-1
Back panel
Flames from a properly adjusted backburner will
appear as a horizontal line of even blue fl ames along
the bottom of and behind the backburner grating. The
grating itself will glow red after it heats up.
Note: It is normal for the backburner to smoke
when it is fi rst used. Burning the backburner
on HI LIGHT for approximately 15 minutes
will eliminate the smoking.
Too large an air shutter opening will allow too much
air into the burner, which will cause the fl ames fi rst
to shorten and then to appear to lift up off the ports.
For the bottom of the fl ames to move closer to the
ports, close the air shutter more.
If the air shutter opening is too small or closed, the
fl ames will present consistently orange tips and
become “lazy,” slowly wavering left and right.
3. Continue adjustment until the fl ames appear to
touch the burner ports, burning fairly steadily,
consistently, and mostly blue (see Fig. 32-1),
then retighten the backburner air shutter
adjustment screw.
4. Replace the burner access plate (step 8 in the
CHANGING THE BACKBURNER ORIFICE
section).
If, instead of being blue and even, the backburner
fl ames appear to have orange in them and waver
slowly left and right, or if the fl ames appear to lift
off the burner, adjust the backburner air shutter by
following the steps below.
The backburner air shutter adjustment is located
behind the right side of the access panel in the back
of the oven, above the cooking grid.
Note: It is only necessary to remove the
backburner back panel, not the backburner,
when adjusting the backburner air shutter.
1. Follow the safety precautions and steps for
backburner back panel removal (steps 1-4) in
the CHANGING THE BACKBURNER ORIFICE
