COUNTERTOP OVERHANG

The control panel is designed to sit fl ush against the enclosure front wall. If the non-combustible enclosure countertop
extends beyond the front wall, creating a countertop overhang, it must be cut fl ush with the front wall for the width of
the control panel or a gap will be created exposing the forward portions of the left and right side grill fi re walls. See
illustrations above.

Important: FOR YOUR SAFETY, you must provide openings in the island enclosure for drainage, replacement

air, and cross-ventilation of any storage area exposed to possible leakage from gas connections, the
unit, or propane bottles. See the ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS section for details.

• The grill must have a minimum of 14" right, left, and rear
clearance from the protected combustible wall.
(The 4" non-combustible material plus an additional 10"
clearance between the grill and protected wall.)

• The grill must have a minimum of 18" right, left, and rear
clearance from any combustible wall (see Fig. 10-3).

Backsplash (if applicable)

If a non-combustible backsplash exists, it must have a minimum
of a 4" clearance from the rear of the grill (to allow for proper
ventilation and prevent dangerous overheating). See Fig. 10-4.

Important: This 4" backsplash clearance must fi rst be met prior

to any non-combustible walls beginning behind it.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS (Cont.)

The control panel MUST remain removable for servicing
(see PARTS LIST).

ENSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
COOLING AIRFLOW

Proper airfl ow (Fig. 11-1) MUST be maintained for the
grill to perform as it was designed. If airfl ow is blocked,
overheating and poor combustion will result. Do not
block the 1" (2.5 cm) front air inlet along the bottom of
the control panel or more than 75% of the cooking grid
surface with pans or griddles.

Note: The 1" (2.5 cm)

front air space
also allows
access to the
drip tray.

Fig. 11-1 - Ventilation diagram

EXHAUST REMOVAL

If installed or used under a patio roof, the cooking grid
area must be fully covered by an exhaust hood with a vent.
An exhaust fan with a rating of 1,000 CFM (cubic feet per
minute) (472 liters per second) or more may be necessary
to effectively remove smoke and other cooking by-products
from the area under the hood. Fire Magic Vent Hoods
are available to meet this requirement. This grill must
not be used under unprotected overhead combustible
construction. THIS UNIT MUST NOT BE LOCATED IN

A FULLY ENCLOSED AREA OF ANY KIND.

GAS-SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

For natural gas or a household propane system, rigid

1

/2"
(1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) black steel pipe or local code­approved pipe is required to conduct the gas supply to
the unit. Contact your local gas supplier. Connect this
pipe to the required C.S.A.-approved stainless-steel fl ex
connector (attached). An NPT adapter has been provided

1

for

/2" pipe. DO NOT use a rubber hose within the grill

enclosure. Apply only joint compounds that are resistant
to all gasses to all male pipe fi ttings except fl are fi ttings.
Make sure to tighten every joint securely.

Note: If

1

/2" (1.3 cm) pipe is used with natural gas,

it should be no longer than 20' (6.1 meters).

Important: An external valve (with a removable

key) in the gas line is necessary for
safety when the grill is not in use. It also
provides for convenient maintenance.

poor performance and/or dangerous
overheating. Orient the grill so that the
prevailing wind blows toward the front of
the grill (Fig. 11-3).

GAS SUPPLY AND MANIFOLD PRESSURES:

For natural gas - normal 7" (17.78 cm) water column
(w.c.), minimum 5" (12.7 cm), maximum 10 1/2" (26.7
cm). For propane gas - normal 11" w.c., minimum 10"
(25.4 cm), maximum 13" (33 cm).

ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

FOR YOUR SAFETY, you must provide the openings listed
below for drainage, replacement air, and cross-ventilation
of any storage area exposed to possible leakage from gas
connections, the unit, or propane cylinders.

One side of the enclosure can be left completely open to
the outside, OR 4 ventilation openings must be created:

NATURAL GAS INSTALLS

Two of the openings are to be at the top level (approx. 4"
below the countertop) and on opposite walls of the enclosure.
2 more openings must be at the fl oor level (approx. 5" above
the fl oor) and on opposite sides of the enclosure. Each
opening must have a minimum of 10 sq. in. of free area.
To achieve the proper ventilation, you may drill a series of
holes, omit the grout from masonry joints, or replace a brick
with a hardware cloth screen. If the fl oor in the cabinet is
raised and the space beneath the cabinet is open to the
outside, the lower ventilation openings may be in the fl oor.
Reference Fig. 12-1.

PROPANE GAS INSTALLS

Two of the openings are to be at the cylinder valve level
(approx. 16" above the fl oor) and on opposite walls of
the enclosure. 2 more openings must be at the fl oor level
(approx. 5" above the fl oor) and on opposite sides of the
enclosure. Each opening must have a minimum of 10 sq.
in. of free area. To achieve the proper ventilation, you may
drill a series of holes, omit the grout from masonry joints,
or replace a brick with a hardware cloth screen. If the fl oor
in the cabinet is raised and the space beneath the cabinet
is open to the outside, the lower ventilation openings may
be in the fl oor. Reference Fig. 12-1.

When a propane cylinder is installed inside of the enclosure,
the guidelines below MUST be followed. FAILURE TO
DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR UNIT AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY. Reference Fig. 12-2 for an example.

• Only a C.S.A. listed stainless steel connector can be
connected to the grill.

• The regulator/hose assembly coming from the propane
cylinder can only be connected to the above mentioned
grill fl ex connector. DO NOT connect the regulator/
hose assembly directly to the grill. An adapter will
be required.

• A heatshield must be installed to protect the regulator/
hose assembly and propane cylinder valve.

• Fire Magic offers a propane cylinder door with tank
tray to meet the cylinder install requirements. See
Fig. 12-3.
