unit and the countertop that is created by the attached cork
mounting pads resting on the countertop must be left clear.
Blockage of barbecue air fl ow causes overheating and poor
combustion. A vent screen is provided to cover this opening.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
Electrical outlets in the vicinity of the barbecue, which might
be used for rotisserie motors or other appliances, must be
properly grounded.
Note: Keep electrical supply cords away from all heated
surfaces.
EXHAUST REMOVAL
If installed under a patio roof, the cooking grid area must be
fully covered by a chimney and exhaust hood. An exhaust fan
with a rating of at least 1,000 CFM (472 liters per second) or
more may be necessary to effi ciently remove smoke and other
cooking by-products from the covered area. Do not install in
a fully enclosed area of any kind.
GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

INSTALLATION
Perform the following checks before installing the barbecue:
CHECK BARBECUE FUEL ORIFICE SIZE
This barbecue comes from the factory confi gured for one
type of gas as marked on the label behind the barbecue
face plate. Each burner uses a different orifi ce depending
on the gas used in the barbecue. Please refer to Table 1 for
the correct orifi ce size.
1. Remove the cooking grids and fl avor grid from the
barbecue.
2. If the gas supply has been connected, make sure the
burner valve is in the OFF position. Then pull the knobs
from their stems. Use a Phillips screwdriver to turn the
face fastener screws counterclockwise to release the
face and remove it from the barbecue. Make sure to
retain the screws and fi nish washers until you are ready
to reattach the face.
Note: Carefully lift the face away from the frame. The
spark generators for the ignition system are
attached to the inside of the face panel. The spark
generator need not be detached, but the wires
must be unplugged from the generators before
the face is removed.
3. Using a fl at-blade screwdriver, pry the burner retaining
clip from rear wall of the barbecue frame (see
Remove the burner by: 1) Pulling it to the front of
the barbecue, 2) Lifting the far end out of the notch,
3) Pulling the burner away from the manifold, taking
care not to lose the air shutter and spring, which may
become detached when the burner is removed.
4. Using a 3/8" socket, remove orifi ce from the orifi ce holder
on the burner manifold and check the number stamped
on the face (see barbecue fuel orifi ce size in Table 1).
Repeat for each burner as necessary.
5. Replace the orifi ce with an orifi ce of the proper drill size as
listed in the PRODUCT DATA TABLE.
6. After checking the orifi ce drill size or replacing the orifi ce,
install the air shutter spring and the air shutter over the
orifi ce holder fi tting, between the burner and the burner
manifold, in the order and position shown in Fig. 5-1.
7. Replace the burners in the holding groove, ensuring that
the brass orifi ce and orifi ce holder fi ttings project deeply
into the burners. Replace the burner retaining clips.
WARNING: It is critical to the continued safe operation of
the burner that it be properly aligned with the
orifi ce, as indicated above.
Fig. 5-1).
WARNING: A rubber or plastic connector will rupture
or leak, resulting in an explosion or
serious injury if used inside the barbecue
enclosure.
1. Make sure that the gas supply is turned OFF. Then
connect the
1
/
" (1.27 cm) pipe adapter fi tting supplied
2
with the stainless steel fl ex connector to the gas
supply stub. Use pipe joint compound that is resistant
to all gasses or Tefl on tape on all male pipe fi ttings
and tighten securely. Do not use pipe joint compound
to connect brass fl are fi ttings.
2. Lower the barbecue into place, making sure not to
pinch or kink the gas connector. The unit may be
supported above the counter by blocks inserted under
the fl anges at each side of the frame (Fig. 5-2).
3. If the pipe does not come up against the front wall, it
can easily be run along the enclosure fl oor and turned
up to rise within 5" (12.7 cm) of the countertop, tight
against the front wall (leaving space only to connect
fi ttings).
4. Connect the fl ex connector to the fl are fi tting on the
manifold inlet. Support the manifold inlet fi tting with
a wrench to avoid applying excessive torque to the
manifold assembly while tightening this connection
securely. Do not use pipe compound on fl are fi ttings.
Make sure the barbecue burner valve is in the OFF
position. Turn the gas supply on. Then carefully check all
gas connections for leaks with a brush and soapy water
before lighting. NEVER USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME
TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
5. Refer to the AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT instructions
before replacing barbecue face and knobs.
INSTALL THE FLAVOR GRID
Place the fl avor grid directly on the burners (Fig. 5-3).
Center the grid over the burners with the open side up.
This allows heat from the burners to be evenly distributed
throughout the cooking area. The fl avor grid heats and cools
quickly, making your Fire Magic barbecue very responsive
to the changes you specify in grill temperature.
The fl avor grid is made of stainless steel and is rust
resistant. It may be cleaned with standard oven cleaners.

BARBECUE SAFETY INFORMATION & MAINTENANCE
Each time you use the barbecue, make sure that:
1. The area around the barbecue is clear of fl ammable
vapors, liquids, and substances such as gasoline,
yard debris, wood, etc.
2. There is no blockage of the airfl 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
should be kept free and clear of debris
(see PLANNING THE LOCATION OF THE
BARBECUE).
b. If connected to a propane cylinder, the rubber
hose attached to the regulator should be carefully
inspected before each use.
c. The propane cylinder, regulator, and rubber hose should
be 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 flame, which is
mostly blue. (Refer to section on AIR SHUTTER
ADJUSTMENT.) A proper fl ame pattern will ensure
safe operation and optimal performance. Adjust
the air shutter as needed. 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 slots that will allow excess drippings to
fall through during cooking, while separating the fi rebox
from the drip tray. Clean the drip tray after each use.
The drip collector allows you to brush or scrape residue
from the barbecue’s inner liner into the drip tray.
Following the manufacturers instructions and regular
cleaning of the barbecue’s interior with oven cleaner,
will help to prevent grease fi res.
Periodically check the burners to make sure they are
clear of debris. Properly adjusted burner fl ames burn
evenly along both sides of each burner with a steady
fl ame (mostly blue). 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 ORIFICES for instructions on burner removal
and replacement.)
Check the burner ports at least annually for blockage by
removing the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions)
and visually inspect the gas intake tube for insects
and nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fi re beneath
the grill.

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. 11-1
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. 11-3), and central (left to right; Fig. 11-4).
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. 11-2) 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. 11-2 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 or burner
pair. Center each grid over the burner, oriented as
shown in Fig. 11-5.
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.

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.
Wipe with grain
Remove the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions)
and clean the ports and slots as required. 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.
12-1). 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.
Fig. 12-1 - 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.
