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.

e. The pressure regulator and hose assembly (Fig. 11-1)

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
manufacturer for connection with a cylinder connecting
device identifi ed as Type I by the ANSI Z 21.58-2005/CGA

1.6-2005 (see PARTS LIST for ordering information).

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 propane­gas 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.

SECURING THE PROPANE-GAS CYLINDER

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. 11-1).

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 should 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.
c. IF THE INFORMATION IN a. AND b. IS NOT FOLLOWED

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

• DO NOT place food on the cooking grid until
the IR burner glows orange (Fig. 19-3). Drippings
are heated and evaporate instead of sticking to and
impairing burner function.

WARNING
Only handle the infrared burner cover when the
grill is cold or with a well-insulated long-handled

tool or heat resistant gloves.

• 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.

As the burner is self cleaning (at full temperature);

avoid the use of cleaners or abrasives.

• 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. 19-2).

• Do not strike or scratch the burner ceramic as it
may chip, crack, or break (Fig. 19-2).

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.

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.

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.

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. 21-1).

Fig. 21-1

Orient barbecue so prevailing
wind blows in this direction

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. 21-2).

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 digital 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. 21-2). 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.

GRILL HEAT DISTRIBUTION - IR BURNER

Fig. 21-2

Medium heat

High heat

Medium heat

Low heat

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.

21

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. 22-1

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. 22-3), and central (left to right; Fig. 22-4).
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 DRIP TRAY

THE WARMING RACK (if equipped)

The warming rack (Fig. 22-2) 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 just 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: Removing the warming rack before using the

rotisserie will leave more clearance for the
meat being cooked.

Fig. 22-2 Warming rack in place inside oven

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).
To simplify cleanup when using the rotisserie, you may
place a baking pan or foil under the rotisserie on top of
the burners to collect the drippings. Clean the drip tray
after each use.

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. 22-5.

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
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

Fig. 23-2

Pull out the drip tray and place liner

Drippings from grilling flow through specially
designed channels and collect in the drip tray.
Check the drip tray regularly and empty when
required.

Fig. 23-1

Fig. 23-3

Be sure liner fi ts under lighting instruction

Your grill includes a pack of four (4) Fire Magic

®

drip tray liners (Fig. 23-1). 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. 23-2 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 23-3 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 holder
off to one edge of the pan (Fig. 23-3). If
necessary, mold the foil liner around them
and the other features of the tray to create
enough clearance space to open and close
the tray without catching the liner.

CARE & CLEANING

CARE AND CLEANING

APPLIANCE MUST BE COMPLETELY COOL WHEN
CLEANING. DO NOT SPRAY ANY CLEANER OR
LIQUIDS ON THE APPLIANCE WHEN HOT.

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 Fire Magic Stainless Steel Cleaner (3581-1).

Wipe with grain

Clean your appliance by fi rst using Fire Magic
Barbecue and Grill Cleaner (part #3580-1) to
remove grease and dirt. Always wipe with the grain
(See Fig. 24-1). Next, use Fire Magic Stainless
Steel Cleaner (3581-1) to restore the stainless steel
color (Note: not for mirror fi nish). Finish by wiping
your appliance down using Fire Magic Polish Wipes
(3586-1). To clean the mirror panel (if applicable),

use a quality brand glass cleaner only, not any
of the cleaners mentioned above.

Clean your appliance at least once a month.
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.

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.

Check and clean the burner ports and burner carry­over slits for blockage at least annually by removing
the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions) and
visually inspecting the burner inlet for insects and
nests. A clogged burner can lead to a fi re in the
bottom of the appliance. (For Fire Magic grills use
Maintenance Kit part #MK-1.)

Fig. 24-1 - Wipe with grain

PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE FROM THE
WEATHER

An optional heavy-duty cover will protect your
appliance’s fi nish and protect your investment. The
water repellent cover will protect your appliance
from the weather. Always cover 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.

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.

By following these recommendations, you will enjoy
the beauty and convenience of your appliance for
many years to come.

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. 26-1). Holding the cap vertical (see Fig.
26-2), 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. 26-1

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 28-1).

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.

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.

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
