PLANNING THE LOCATION OF YOUR POST GRILL
ALIGN CRANK HANDLE
WITH NUT & SCREW IN
This grill is designed FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
DO NOT use this unit under unprotected fl ammable surfaces. DO NOT use this appliance inside a building, garage,
or any other enclosed area. It must not be used in or on recreational vehicles or boats.
Important: This unit is NOT insulated, and therefore during use it must be located with a minimum of 18" of side and back
clearance from unprotected combustible materials such as wood, plastic, or stucco with wood framing.
EXHAUST REMOVAL
If installed or used 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 1,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) or more may be necessary to effi ciently
remove smoke and other cooking by-products from the covered area. THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT BE LOCATED
IN A FULLY ENCLOSED AREA OF ANY KIND.

ACCESSORIES
WARMING RACK
The warming rack (see Fig. 2-1) is pre-assembled at
the factory and is useful for keeping food warm during
or after cooking.
Note: Please take into consideration that the warming
rack moves closer to the grill when the oven lid is
closed.
AIR SHUTTERS
Fig. 4-1
USING THE GRILL BRUSH
Purchase a Fire Magic® stainless-steel grill brush to
keep your grid top clean. Complete with scraper for large
particles and replaceable head with brass bristles for
overall cleaning.
CAUTION: The air shutters become
very hot when the grill
is in use. Use a tool or
heat-insulated glove to adjust the air
shutters.
The air shutters (Fig. 4-1) on both sides of the oven
can be used to regulate the fl ow of air to the coals when
the oven is closed.
Fig. 4-2
CHARCOAL PROTECTOR
The charcoal protector allows meat
drippings to drip down to the drip tray
without affecting the charcoal.
Place it over the coals as shown in Fig. 4-2.
DRIP TRAY SPACER
The drip tray spacer (see parts list item no. 5) sits on top
of the drip tray with the charcoal on top of it. It creates an
airspace to prevent the drip tray from overheating.

Grill brush with replacement head
USING 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. 4-4), and central (left to right; Fig. 4-
5). Twist the grid lifter (clockwise or counterclockwise)
so the handle is parallel to the grid rods. This “seats” the
spiked end of the grid lifter between two rods, enabling
you to safely lift the grid out of the grill. Lift slowly and
adjust the grid lifter, if necessary, to balance.

OPERATION
Simple to use, this elegant stainless-steel charcoal
grill has the added benefi t of an adjustable charcoal
pan to allow you to change the height of the charcoal
while cooking and gives you the ability to add fuel
without having to remove the cooking grids. This
enables the outdoor chef to be in complete control
of cooking heat at the grilling surface.
USING YOUR CHARCOAL GRILL
1. Remove the cooking grids and pile your charcoal
on the charcoal pan(s). Avoid spillage.
2. Follow the instructions supplied with your
charcoal/fuel for lighting.
3. Use the access door to add or spread out your
coals while cooking.
4. Turning the crank handle raises or lowers the
pan to increase or decrease the grilling heat as
you desire.
