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.

5. The inline gas valve or gas cylinder valve is always

shut OFF when the barbecue is not in use.

6. The drip collector hole is clear and unobstructed.

Excessive grease deposits can result in a grease
fi re.

7. The barbecue is free and clear from combustible

materials, gasoline, and other fl ammable vapors
and liquids.

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.

SETTING THE TIMER

Before following the
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
section, set the timer located
on the front of the post base
to the desired number of

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.
17-1). 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. 17-1 - 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.

17

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. 18-1

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. 18-3), and central (left to right; Fig. 18-4).
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. 18-2) 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. 18-2 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. 18-5.

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.
