Fire Magic Barbecues are designed FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
WARNING: Built-in models must be installed in masonry or other type of fireproof enclosure. The unit is NOT insulated
and therefore must be installed with 18" of side and back clearance from unprotected combustible materials such as
wood, plastic, or stucco with wood framing.
DO NOT install this unit under unprotected flammable surfaces. DO NOT inst all or use this appliance inside a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area including recreational vehicles or boats.
This is a SLIDE-IN TYPE unit designed to fit into open-front
enclosures. The Front Panel (Face) of the unit is removable for
gas hookup, servicing and Burner adjustment, and MUST remain
removable after you install the unit.
INSTALLER NOTE: This unit should be installed so that it can
be removed at a later date if factory service is required. Any
protrusion into the Barbecue enclosure may obstruct the frame
and prevent the unit from sliding into place (see "Gas Supply
Plumbing Requirements" below).
ENSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR & COOLING FLOW
Maintaining proper air flow for your Fire Magic Barbecue is
essential if it is to perform as it was designed (Fig 1). If airflow
is blocked, overheating and poor combustion will result. Make
sure not to block the 1" front air inlet along bottom of Barbecue
Face. Note: The front air space allows access to Drip Tray.
Figure 1
Ventilation Diagram
VENTILATION OF ENCLOSURES
When using Propane gas, take EXTREME CAUTION to ensure
ample ventilation of gas vapor. Propane vapor is invisible and
heavier than air. A DANGEROUS EXPLOSION could occur,
resulting in SERIOUS INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE if Propane
gas is allowed to accumulate and then ignite.
Only one Propane gas cylinder may be located in an
enclosure. Extra or spare cylinders must be stored outdoors
out of the reach of children and outside of any building, garage
or other enclosed area. READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS
PROVIDED WITH PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS. Never
locate a cylinder under or near Barbecue unless sufficient
ventilation and shielding is provided to prevent any heating of
cylinder, regulator and rubber hose.
PROP ANE CYLINDER ENCLOSURES
To prevent invisible combustible gas from accumulating in
your cylinder enclosure, you must provide adequate ventilation.
This is accomplished by having one side of the enclosure left
completely open to the outside
OR by providing four (4)
ventilation openings. Two openings are to be at the cylinder
valve level (Approx.16” above the floor) and on opposite walls
of the enclosure. Two more openings must be at the floor
level on opposite sides of the enclosure. The floor level
openings must start at the floor and shall extend no higher
than 5” above the floor. Each opening must have a minimum
of 10 square inches (64.5 cm
2
) 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 floor in the cabinet is raised and the
space beneath the cabinet is open to the outside, the lower
ventilation openings may be in the floor.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, you must provide these openings for
drainage, replacement air and cross ventilation of any storage
area exposed to possible leakage from gas connections, the
Barbecue or Propane Cylinder.
IMPORTANT: Additional requirements for safe use of Propane
gas and gas cylinders appear on Pg. 6 of this manual.
HOUSEHOLD PROP ANE GAS SERVICE
Consult your gas supplier for ventilation requirements when
connecting to a household Propane supply.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
All electrical outlets in area of Barbecue must be grounded.
Installer and User Note: Keep electrical supply cords away
from all heated surfaces.
EXHAUST REMOVAL
If installed under a patio roof, the grill area should be fully
covered by a chimney and exhaust hood. An exhaust fan with
a rating of 1000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) or more may be
necessary to efficiently remove smoke and other cooking byproducts from the covered area. Installation in fully-enclosed
patio areas is not recommended.
GAS SUPPL Y PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
Rigid 3/4" or 1” black steel pipe, or local code approved pipe for
temperatures up to 800°F (427°C), is required to conduct gas
supply into enclosure opening for connection to the unit. Do
not use a rubber hose within enclosure for Barbecue unit.
Apply only joint compounds that are resistant to all gasses on
all male pipe fittings. Make sure to tighten every joint securely.
NOTE: Review page 7, prior to connecting unit. If 1/2” Pipe
is used, it should be no longer than five feet and only to conduct
Gas Supply into Barbecue cut out for connection to the Flex
Connector. The gas supply pipe should enter through the floor
at rear of enclosure and terminate near the left end (Figure 2).
Install gas line stub at least 2" away from the left side and back
walls, but within 9" of the back wall and 14” from the left wall,
as illustrated by the shaded area in Figure 2. No Pipe or fittings
should rise higher than 2 1/2” into the bottom of the Barbecue.
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Figure 2 - Gas Stub Diagram
SAFETY NOTE: An external valve (with a removable
key) in the gas line is necessary for safety when your
Barbecue is not in use. It also provides for convenient
maintenance

CHECKING YOUR BARBECUE
BARBECUE FUEL ORIFICE SIZE
Elite 50 Gourmet Unibody Barbecues are equipped with fuel
orifices for Natural gas, unless otherwise indicated. To use
with Propane gas, you must install smaller orifices to avoid
hazardous overheating.
For Elite 50 Barbecues: The proper orifice size for Natural
Gas is #48 (drill size). The proper orifice size for Propane Gas
is #57 (drill size).
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT
BARBECUE BURNER ORIFICE SIZE
a. Remove the Cooking Grids and Flavor Grids from the
Barbecue.
b. If the gas supply has been connected, make sure the Burner
Valves are in the “Off” position. Then pull the Valve knobs from
their stems. Use a Phillips screwdriver to turn the Face Fastener
Screws counter clockwise to release the Face and remove it
from the Barbecue. Retain the screws and finish washers for
reattaching the Face.
NOTE: Carefully lift the face away from the frame. The Spark
Generator for the ignition system is attached to the inside of
the face panel. The Spark generator Knob need not be detached, but the wires must be unplugged from the generator
before the face is removed.
c. Using a flat blade screwdriver, pry the burner retaining clip
from rear wall of the barbecue frame (see Figure 6). Remove
the burner by; A) Pulling it to the front of the barbecue, B) Lift
the far end out of the notch, C) Pull the burner away from the
manifold, taking care not to lose air shutter and spring, which
may become detached when the Burner is removed.
d. Using a 3/8" socket, remove orifice from the orifice holder
on the burner manifold and check the number stamped on the
face (see "Barbecue Orifice Size" above). Repeat for each
burner as necessary.
e. If your barbecue is not orificed for the gas supply you plan
to use, replace them with the orifices supplied with the barbecue or orifices supplied by your local dealer.
f. After checking orifice drill size or replacing the orifice, install
the Air Shutter Spring and the Air Shutter over the orifice holder
fitting, between the Burner and the Burner Manifold, in the order
and position shown in Figure 6.
g. Replace the burners in the holding groove, ensuring that the
brass orifice and orifice holder fittings project deeply into the
Burners. Replace the burner retaining clips.
3. CHECK BACKBURNER FUEL ORIFICE SIZE
If your Barbecue includes a Backburner it is equipped with
a Natural Gas orifice unless otherwise indicated. To use Propane
Gas, you must use a smaller orifice. The proper orifice for
Natural Gas is #45 (drill size). The proper orifice for Propane
Gas is #125 (1.25mm).
Hazardous overheating will occur if a Natural Gas orifice is
used with Propane Gas. If you are not sure, or if an orifice
change is necessary, refer to the instructions included with the
replacement orifice which is packed with the Barbecue.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT
BACKBURNER ORIFICE SIZE
1. Remove the Backburner assembly (Figure 7).
a. Remove the Backburner cover if in place.
b. Unplug the Ignitor wire from the electrode.
c. Remove the mounting screw from the mounting bracket
at the left end of the Backburner assembly. Be careful not
to lose the 3/8" spacer (if equipped) when screw is removed.
d. Carefully pull the left end of the backburner assembly
forward, keeping it against the left side of the oven, until
the right end of the burner clears the orifice.
2. Check the size stamped on the orifice.
3. If an orifice change is necessary, use a 3/8" hex nutdriver
or appropriate wrench or pliers to replace the orifice.
4. Replace the Backburner assembly, following step a. through
d. above, in reverse order.
5. Re-check the air shutter instructions.

flames lift off, or appear not to be touching the Burners. Then
begin closing the Air Shutters until the flames appear to burn
while touching the Burner Ports (Figure 9). You may then see
short yellow tips on the flames. If flames are a lazy yellow,
open the Air Shutters until the flame is blue with yellow tipping.
NOTE: Barbecues in some installations achieve a better air/
gas mixture and will ignite more quickly if the valve is first
turned beyond High to Medium or Low for lighting.

Pull the Drip Tray out far enough to
support the Face in the vertical
position. Lean the Face forward and
plug the 2 wires into the terminals
on the Spark Generator (Figure 11).
The wires can be plugged into either
terminal.
IMPORTANT: Test the Electrodes
Figure 11 - Spark
Generator
for spark before securing the Face to
the frame (see Page 12 for Battery Replacement). Place the
Face on the Frame so the Front Lip of the Face covers the lip
on the frame.
ADJUSTING THE FLAME HEIGHT
The large knobs on the Face of the Barbecue control the Valves
and adjust flame height. The first position is “High,” the second
“Medium” and the final “Low.” Flame height can also be set
anywhere between the High, Medium and Low settings for all
cooking requirements and methods.
Height of the flame with the valve in low position may be
regulated by means of a small adjusting screw in the center of
the valve stem. This screw is accessible by removing the
plastic valve knob which pulls straight off the end of the valve
stem.
5. INST ALL THE FLA VOR GRIDS
Place the Flavor Grid directly on the Burners centering the
Grids over the Burners with the open side up (Fig 12). This
allows heat from the Burners to be evenly distributed throughout the cooking area. Fire Magic Flavor Grids are Stainless
Steel and will heat and cool quickly, making your Barbecue
very responsive to the changes you specify in grill temperature.
They are rust resistant and may be cleaned with standard oven
cleaners.
IMPORTANT: It is normal for the Backburner to smoke when
it is burned for the first time. Burning your Backburner on high
for approximately 15 minutes will eliminate the smoking.
BACKBURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
a. The Air Shutter on your Backburner is preset at the factory.
However, due to atmospheric conditions and different gas
pressures, it may be necessary to adjust the Air Shutter to
obtain a proper burn.
b. First remove the Backburner cover, then loosen the Air
Shutter screw (See Fig. 10). It may be necessary to use
pliers to turn the Air Shutter. Light the Backburner. With the
control knob on "HIGH" adjust the Air Shutter to have a blue
flame that is not lifting off the Burner (It may also have slightly
yellow tips).
c. Tighten the Air Shutter adjustment screw.

OPERA TNG YOUR BARBECUE
To extend the life of your Fire Magic Barbecue, follow these
steps prior to cooking:
1. Begin by heating the unit at a normal cooking temperature
for several minutes.
2. Then open the Control Valves to the “High” setting to burn
off residue remaining from prior use.
3. When the Barbecue has heated sufficiently, set heat to the
desired cooking level.
4. When using a smoke oven, closing the cover during the
preheat period will accelerate the preparation process. DO NOT
operate unattended at High Flame as cooking temperatures
will quickly be exceeded.
Using Your Optional Backburner
Rotisserie cooking with the Backburner is accomplished without
use of the main grill Burners. The cooking grids are removed
and if large cuts are to be barbecued, the Flavor grids may be
removed to allow more clearance from the spit rod to the fire
box. Aluminum Foil or a baking pan may be placed over the
main Burners to catch excess drippings from your cooking.
a. Remove the Backburner cover. (Fig.13)
b. Place your meat on the rotisserie spit rod. Make sure it is
centered on the spit. Refer to the instructions provided with
your Fire Magic Rotisserie and counter balance.
c. Follow the lighting instructions on page10
d. Allow the Backburner to preheat for approximately 10
minutes on "HIGH" setting.
e. Place the spit rod with the meat into the rotisserie and turn
on the motor.
f. Use a standard roasting guide to estimate the length of time
for your meat. A meat thermometer may also be used to tell
when your favorite cuts are cooked to your liking. When testing
temperatures with a thermometer, turn off the rotisserie motor
and turn the Backburner on "Low". This will keep the meat from
over cooking on one side
g. Operate your Backburner with the oven closed. This will
simulate an oven effect and help your meat cook faster. The
constant rotation of the spit assures even cooking and maximum
retention of juices.
h. On large cuts of meat or whole turkeys, it may be necessary
to reduce the heat from your Backburner. Cooking your food at
lower temperature for a longer period will keep the outer surface
from burning, while cooking the interior of your food thoroughly. `
Smoker Tray (Woodchip Box)
Your Backburner is supplied with a woodchip box. The
woodchip box is designed to sit on top of the Backburner
assembly over the notch in the heat deflector (See Fig. 13).
This box is designed to be used when the Backburner is in use.
To use the box, just fill it with your favorite woodchips and set
it in place. If you wish to refill the woodchip box when it is hot,
you may carefully handle it using a pair of pliers. You must be
very cautious not to get burned.
The Backburner Cover
a. The Backburner cover is installed by placing the curved part
of the cover over the top of the perforated portion of the
Backburner (See Fig. 13).
b. The cover should be kept in place on the Backburner when
it is not in use. This will keep your Backburner free from grease
splatter and debris that may hinder its performance.
WARNING: You must remove the Backburner cover before
lighting the Backburner.
FLA VOR FROM WOOD CHIPS OR CHARCOAL
Convenient Fire Magic Gourmet Grilling Chips* are sold in
several different popular wood types. These chips are premoistened and sealed in cans, a sample of which is provided
with your barbecue. To use follow the instructions on the side
of the can. After use there is no mess to clean up, just discard
the can of ashes after there is no longer any wood smoke
aroma. More Fire Magic Gourmet Grilling Chips* may be
purchased through your local dealer.
You may also add wood chips, wood chunks or the natural
wood charcoal of your choice to the Flavor Grid. We recommend
placing wood outside the direct cooking zone or wrapping it in
perforated aluminum foil. Soaking wood before use will slow
burning and increase smoke flavor. Wood and charcoal ash
will remain in the Flavor Grid after use. The Grid can be easily
removed and cleaned when unit has fully cooled.

To use the Counterbalance supplied with your Barbecue:
1. Place meat on the spit in the normal manner. Center and
balance as carefully as possible.
2. Tighten the screws on the prongs, chicken holder or turkey
holder to secure the meat.
3. Hold spit rod at each end and lift. Do not grip the rod.
Let rod rotate so heavy side of meat hangs down naturally.
4. Turn the counterbalance on the spit so the counterbalance
rod and weight point upward or opposite from the heavy side
of the meat. Tighten the counterbalance rod in the hub
against a flat surface of the spit rod to secure.
5. Loosen the thumb screw and slide the weight along the
counterbalance rod to balance the meat. Since meats are
not a uniform shape, it may not be possible to achieve a
perfect balance. Properly balanced meat should not rotate
when you hold the spit rod loosely by the ends.
6. Make sure the counterbalance does not strike the barbecue
frame when the rotisserie is started.
USING THE COOKING GRILL LIFTER
Hold the Grill Lifter by gripping the center section with the
prongs pointing down (Using oven mitt or heavy glove if the
grill is hot). Insert the notched end of the Grill Lifter into the
grill, in front of the midway point (front to back- Figure 14A)
and central (left to right-Fig 14B). Twist the grill lifter (clockwise
or counter-clockwise) so the handle is parallel to the grill rods.
This “seats” the spiked end of the Grill Lifter between two rods
enabling you to safely lift the grill out of the barbecue. Lift
slowly and adjust the Grill Lifter if necessary to balance.

BARBECUE SAFETY INFORMATION & MAINTENANCE
Each time you use your Barbecue, make sure that:
1. The area around the Barbecue is clear of flammable
substances such as gasoline, yard debris, wood, etc.
2. There is no blockage of the air flow through the vent space
located below the Face of the unit.
3. When using Propane gas:
a. The special ventilation openings in the enclosure
are kept free and clear of debris.
b. If connected to a Propane cylinder, the rubber hose
attached to the Regulator is carefully inspected before
each use.
c. The Propane cylinder, Regulator and rubber hose
are installed in a location not subject to heating above
125° F (51° C).
4. The Burner flames burn evenly along both sides of each
Burner with a steady flame (mostly blue with yellow tipping).
See “Air Shutter Adjustment” below. If Burner flames are not
normal, check the orifice and Burner for insects or insect
nests (see Pg.4, Sect. 2, for Burner removal and replacement).
WARNING: NEVER cover the entire cooking or grill surface with griddles or pans. Overheating will occur and
Burners will not perform properly when combustion heat is trapped below the cooking surface.
CAUTION: NEVER spray water on a hot gas unit as this may damage porcelain or cast iron components.
5. The Drip Collector hole is clear and unobstructed. Excessive
grease deposits can result in a grease fire.
6. The in-line gas valve or gas cylinder valve is always shut
off when the Barbecue is not in use.
DRIP COLLECTION SYSTEM
The Drip Collector in this Fire Magic Barbecue is part of the
unit’s main frame, and is located below the Burners. The Drip
Collector has one hole which allows excess drippings to fall
through during cooking while separating the firebox from the
drip tray.
The Drip Collector allows you to brush or scrape residue from
the Barbecue inner liner into the Drip Tray. Regular cleaning of
your Barbecue interior with oven cleaner or Fire Magic
Foaming Barbecue & Grill Cleaner*, following manufacturers
instructions, will prevent grease fires.

CARE OF YOUR FIRE MAGIC BARBECUE
CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS
Your Barbecue may have a stainless steel oven and front
panel. The following care instructions will keep your unit
looking and working like new. Stainless steel components are
constructed of the finest prime grade type 304 stainless steel.
Meticulous attention has been given to maintain the attractive
finish throughout the manufacturing process. Like the stainless
steel used in commercial kitchens, your Barbecue requires
regular cleaning and occasional buffing to maintain its bright,
clean appearance.
WIPE WITH GRAIN
Figure 15 - Always rub with the grain
Deposits of dirt and grease can be removed easily with Fire
Magic Foaming Barbecue and Grill Cleaner*. Deposits
should be removed before they are allowed to bake onto the
finish. To remove more stubborn deposits, use a scouring pad
recommended for stainless steel. Be sure to always rub in the
direction of the polishing lines (Figure 15). Oven cleaner may
be used, according to manufacture's instructions, to remove
cooked-on food deposits. Special cleaning agents and polishing
pads recommended for stainless steel are available at your
local Barbecue dealer, hardware store or supermarket.
CAUTION: Never use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes on
stainless steel. Tiny particles left behind may rust and stain the
finish. Abrasive pads recommended for restoring the grain in
stainless steel will, over a period of time, scratch or dull the
surface of glass or porcelain-coated products.
BURNER MAINTENANCE
Fire Magic Burners are constructed of heavy-duty cast stainless
steel and have a lifetime warranty (cast brass and porcelainized
cast iron Burners are also available). Once a year inspect the
Burners to insure that the ports are clear of debris.
REPLACING THE SP ARK GENERAT OR BATTER Y
COOKING GRIDS
Fire Magic Cooking Grids come in two types: Stainless Steel
and Porcelain-Finished Cast-Iron Grids. Both are finished with
a special matte (satin) finish. This matte-finish provides a more
stick-resistant cooking surface that makes outdoor barbecuing
easy and enjoyable. The Stainless Steel Cooking Grids are
made of type 304 stainless steel, and the coating on the
Porcelain-Finished Grids provides a cooking surface that
resists corrosion and increases cooking grid durability,
providing years of cooking enjoyment. For best cooking
performance, the wide side of the grid bars should face up.
Follow the simple steps of Care and Maintenance after every
use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
(Stainless Steel Grids)
To maintain your Stainless Steel Cooking Grids, we recommend
lightly brushing the grids after use with a brass or stainless
steel wire brush. Before use, brush again if necessary and
spray a light coat of vegetable oil over the cooking surface.
Discoloration or stubborn food particles can be removed with a
heavy-duty abrasive or stainless steel scouring pad. Grills
can also be washed in an automatic dishwasher or cleaned
with strong cleaning solutions, including oven cleansers. We
do not recommend ordinary steel or wire brushes, which may
leave tiny metal particles on the grids which cause discoloration,
but not permanent damage.
(Porcelain Coated)
A spray coat of vegetable oil and light brushing with a brass grid
brush before and after use is all it takes to maintain cooking
readiness and ensure long life.
PROTECTING THE WHOLE BARBECUE FINISH
Barbecue covers* will protect the finish and extend the life and
appearance of Fire Magic Barbecues equipped with smoke
ovens. The covers are designed to protect the finish against
scratches, corrosion and oxidation. Each cover has been cut
and sewn by hand to fit a particular smoke oven model. Flaps
extend from the sides and back. In windy areas, place weights
on the flaps or inside the sleeve on the flaps to keep the cover
from blowing off.
1. Remove the rubber cap by depressing and turning the cap
counterclockwise.
2. The battery is now accessible for removal and replacement.
3. Make sure that the battery spring is re-installed with
the new battery.
