CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 – WARNING – The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products, which are on the
list of substances, which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always
operate this unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.

5 With grill body tightly attached to L-Bracket and taking care not to damage electrode, unthread burner

3 full

revolutions only. CAUTION: DO NOT UNTHREAD MORE THEN 3 REVOLUTIONS, AS GRILL MAY FALL OVERBOARD.

• Lift entire grill up to disengage from grease tray positioning pins (5a & 5b) and rotate so lid operates freely
in desired position (5a).

• Carefully lower back down (5d), making sure pins are re-engaged and rethreaded “burner” back 3 revolutions
until tight. If burner does not turn 3 revolutions the pins are not engaged properly.

6 Adjust burner electrode spark cap so it is directly over electrode wire. Check for good strong spark before

proceeding.

1 Select and install appropriate mount in your desired location. Prior to installing the grill, check that mount

does not easily move with a reasonble force applied.

2 Next, decide if gas control valve will be easier to access from the center right side or center left side of grill.

This will be based on your placement of the mount

(see picture front cover)

. Now, slide L-Bracket & Clamp on

to mount rod (ridged end) so that the threaded flat L-portion of the L-Bracket points in that direction (see above).

3 Adjust threaded flat surface of L-Bracket to level position and tighten firmly with two 9/16" or adjustable

wrenches so that L-Bracket & Clamp cannot be moved. NOTE: Level positoning is critical for even
temperatures across the cooking surface.

4 Carefully hold the grill body, with the lid closed, and thread on to L-Bracket

VERY TIGHT

so that grill does not

unthread easily. Check that grill is tight and level prior to proceeding.

IMPORTANT!!

• DO NOT CONNECT A HIGH-PRESSURE SUPPLY HOSE
FROM A NON-REGULATED TANK DIRECTLY TO GRILL.

Magma's grills are designed for use with small disposable propane canisters or with pre-regulated low­pressure propane and optional low-pressure valves. Running high-pressure propane fuel supply lines on a
boat is in violation of American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) guidelines and is not considered a safe
application. Additionally, impurities found in larger refillable propane tanks may clog the small orifices in the
high-pressure control valve/ regulator causing it to lose performance capabilities and eventually fail.
Regulating these tanks to 1/2 PSI and using this pre-regulated propane with the correct low-pressure valve
will insure safe, efficient performance of the grill.

USING GRILL WITH ON-BOARD LPG (PROPANE) SYSTEMS

• Magma On-Board LPG (Propane) Valves and
Hose Kits allow grills to be installed within a
boats existing on-board, pre-regulated low
pressure LPG (Propane) system. Use only

Magma A10-220 Low Pressure Propane Valve

in conjunction with Magma A10-225 LPG 10'

Hose Kit, as other hoses, valves or fittings may

result in damage or injury.

• A primary shutoff valve (supplied with

A10-225 hose kit) must be used in conjunction

with this control valve at the point of
connection into your system. This allows for
shut off of the gas supply to the hose leading
to the grill.

Gently insert valve stem into venturi tube upside down
until fully inserted and rotate as shown.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

WARNING: Do not overheat grill. Grills do not require pre-heating. Stainless Steel loses anti-corrosive
characteristics when subjected to extreme heat. Most grilling is done on low temperature with the lid closed.
If medium or high heat is required, grill with lid open.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

• Open lid during lighting.

• Depress knob and rotate counter-clockwise to the “HIGH” flame position.

• Push Piezo Igniter.

• Visually confirm ignition.

• Turn knob to adjust flame.

• If grill does not light, insure that a burner electrode spark cap is directly above electrode.

•

If the piezo ignition continues to fail to ignite the gas, see MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS.

MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

(Back up system allows use of grill until piezo ignition system is repaired.)

• Open lid during lighting.

• Depress knob and rotate counter-clockwise to the “HIGH”
flame position.

• Hold match or gas flame lighter up to the match light hole.

• Visually confirm ignition.

TO REDUCE FLARE-UP

• Trim excess fats from meat. • Reduce heat.

• Use non-oil based marinades. • Use water spray directly on flare-ups.

6

PLEASE CHECK THESE IMPORTANT CRITICAL POINTS PRIOR TO LIGHTING YOUR GRILL.

• Mount is secure and grill does not move.

• Grease tray and fire pan are clean from excess drippings to reduce flare up and ensure even
air flow.

• Lid is correctly positioned to operate freely and is in best position for blocking the wind.

• Venturi tube, burner, threaded burner pipe and valve orifice are free of obstructions, such
as spider webs.

• Electrode is clean and has a good strong spark.

• Radiant plate & dome are positioned correctly.

• Grill grate is in locked position under holding clips.

• Venturi tube holding nut is tight and doesn't turn when rotating valve position.

• Valve is installed and locked into venturi tube properly.

• Sufficient fuel is available.

COOKING TIPS

• The most common mistake when grilling is using too high of a heat setting. Grills become
hotter as you cook, so use moderate heat settings when cooking with lid closed.

• Always keep a water spray bottle handy for flare ups and quick cooling if grill overheats.

• Coat the grill grate with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from sticking.

STOWING TIPS

• Always disconnect the fuel canister from the valve prior to stowing.

• Stow the valve and venturi tube in a clean, dry area to protect from corrosion to valve and
spider web obstructions in venturi tube.

• Always stow by unthreading the entire grill from the L-Bracket. Do not remove the L-Bracket
& Clamp unless repositioning is necessary.

•

Always store propane in a sealed propane storage locker that allows leakage to vent overboard

or use

Magma A10-210 Propane Storage Tote

. Never stow below decks.

ABOUT STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless steel exposed to prolonged periods of high heat will change color and texture. Magma grills require no
preheating. Not preheating will keep your grill cooler and greatly extend its life and beauty. Texture and color
change is normal on components and will not affect the product's performance. Stainless steel scratches easily
and should never be cleaned with abrasive pads, brushes or abrasive cleaners.

COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY FOR CLEANING (or access to Piezo Igniter)

1 - Remove entire grill body from L-Bracket of Mount.
2 - Unthread and remove burner, fire pan and grease pan from outer bowl.
3 - To inspect piezo igniter, remove single screw from inside of outer bowl to release igniter box and carefully

inspect for corrosion or loose wire connection.

4 - To reassemble, reverse above steps and steps 6 through 9 from page 3 Setting Up Your Grill.

CLEANING WITH OVEN CLEANER

We recommend disassembly and complete cleaning at least once a year, depending on amount of use, and always
prior to long-term storage. For burnt-on residue we recommend "Easy-Off" brand "Original Formula Oven & Grill
Cleaner". Just spray it on, let it set, wash in warm soapy water and rinse. If cleaner is used, complete disassembly
is required to remove any cleaner residue left between components. Wash all components with soapy water after
using cleaner. CAUTION: AVOID CONTACT OF OVEN CLEANER WITH CONTROL VALVE, PLASTIC IGNITER,
ELECTRODE WIRE AND ALL BOAT SURFACES AND FOLLOW MANUFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS ON OVEN CLEANER.

EXTERIOR STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS

Cleaning the exterior surface after every use will help prevent discoloration. Use soapy water with a soft cloth or
sponge. Rinse with fresh water and dry. We recommend covering the grill between uses. Optional covers are
available through www.MagmaProducts.com. CAUTION: ABRASIVE PADS OR CLEANERS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH.

INTERIOR COMPONENTS & GRILL GRATES

Remove heavy residue from barbeque and empty grease tray between each use. Grates can be cleaned with brass
wire brush while grill is warm.

CERAMIC ELECTRODE

Located just beside the burner, it should be kept clean of grease and debris. Electrode spark cap must be directly
over the electrode for proper operation, Be careful not to damage the ceramic insulation or the wire.

CONTROL VALVE

All valves are set and tested at the factory. Do not attempt to adjust or disassemble the valve. Call [phone]
if you suspect it is not adjusted properly. Clean valve with a cloth and remove any debris obstructing the orifice.
