INSTALLATION (cont.)

INSTALL THE FLAVOR GRIDS

Place the fl avor grids directly onto the studs on the burners.
See Fig. 16-1. The fl avor grids allow heat from the burners
to be evenly distributed throughout the cooking area. They
are stainless steel and will heat and cool quickly, making
your grill very responsive to the changes you specify in grill
temperature. They are rust resistant and may be cleaned
with standard oven cleaners. Some discoloring will be seen
with use. This is normal for stainless steel and does not
affect the function.

ACCESSORIES

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. 21-1

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. 21-3), and central (left to right; Fig. 21-4).
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.

WARMING RACK (if equipped)

The warming rack (Fig. 21-2) 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. 21-2 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 the DRIP TRAY section for more
information).

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. 21-5. 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.

FIRE MAGIC® DRIP TRAY

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

Fig. 22-1

Fig. 22-3

Be sure liner fi ts under lighting instruction plate

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

®

drip tray liners (Fig. 22-1). 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. 22-2 and carefully insert
the tray back under the control panel.

Note: Be sure that the liner is properly placed into

the drip tray. The front of the liner must fi t
under the drip tray's lighting instruction plate
(see 22-3 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: There are easy to follow lighting instructions

burners to cover them and catch drippings
directly during rotisserie only cooking.

Note: For models with match holders attached

inside the drip tray, place the match holder
off to one edge of the pan (Fig. 22-3). 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.

22

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 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.
23-1). 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. 23-1 - 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 UNIT.
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
UNIT. 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.

23

CONVERTING THE GAS TYPE

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.

CONVERT LABEL

This 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, the label for the new gas
(included at original shipping) MUST be applied over
the old label mentioned above.

CONVERT REGULATOR

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. 24-1, A). Holding the cap vertical (see
Fig. 24-1, B), the letters at the bottom of the plastic stalk
indicate the gas type for which the regulator is currently
confi gured.

If the text on the bottom of the regulator stalk does not
match the gas type 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.

A B

Natural-gas to propane-gas conversions using a
tank internal to a portable grill require installation
of a propane tank holder (not included). This tank
holder must be purchased separately from the
manufacturer.

CONVERT/CHECK MAIN BURNER ORIFICES

1. Remove the cooking grid and fl avor grid from

above the burner you are working and set them
aside.

2. Locate the burner. Slightly pinch and remove the

burner clip (located over the rear center of the
burner) from the burner support and set aside.

3. Carefully lift the burner from the burner support

and out from the hole in the forward fi re wall (see

24-2).

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 25-1).

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.

CAUTION: Turn all burner control knobs to the

OFF position and turn off the gas

supply at the source before removing
or adjusting a burner.

WARNING

Wait for the burner to be cool or use heavily insulated

heat-resistant gloves when handling the burner.

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 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.

4. Follow the lighting instructions in this manual to
