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.

CONTENTS

Each Magma®Gas Grill is individually fire tested before it leaves the factory.

For this reason, the burner on your grill may be slightly discolored.

DANGER: Never Cover Ventilation holes.

SETTING UP YOUR GRILL

Mounts sold separately. See our website www.MagmaProducts.com for mounting options.

Level

Flat

Surface

7 Select and install appropriate Magma mount in your desired location. Prior to installing the

grill, check that mount does not easily move with a reasonable force applied.

8 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 knurled rod so that the threaded flat L-portion of the L-Bracket points in that direction (see above).

9 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 positioning is critical for even temperatures across the cooking surface.

10 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.

11 Insert the venturi tube into the threaded pipe on

the bottom of the grill body and firmly tighten the holding nut so nut doesn't turn while rotating the turbo venturi tube. Note: venturi tube should still rotate freely. Venturi tube should be stowed with valve in a clean dry environment when not in use. (See "Stowing Tips" page 6) Before each use, prior to inserting venturi tube, check that the threaded

pipe is free of spider web obstructions.

CONNECTING FUEL SOURCE

•Uses standard 1-lb. disposable propane canisters (DOT-39 NRC 228/286).

•Prior to installing valve, become familiar with the valve function and graphics on valve knob. Never force the knob. Always turn or push gently.

•Turn control valve to “lock ” and install gas canister being careful not to cross the

threads. Check for leaks prior to use, by brushing soapy water solution around threads

and orifice hole checking for bubbles.

Typical Boat and R.V. Application

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

• Use only Magma Type 3 Low

Pressure LPG (Propane) Valves.

See our Valve Application Guide at www. MagmaProducts.com for correct valve.

• In North America use Magma A10-225

LPG 10' Hose Kit in conjunction with Type 3 Valve. Outside North America

check your local dealer for proper hose and fittings.

• A primary shutoff valve (supplied with A10-225 hose kit) must be used with this control valve at point of connection into your system. This allows shut off of gas supply to hose leading to grill.

Gently insert valve stem into venturi tube upside down

until fully inserted and rotate as shown.

• DO NOT CONNECT A HIGH-PRESSURE SUPPLY HOSE

IMPORTANT!!

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.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

WARNING: Do not overheat grill. Magma 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, hang lid on side of the grill to block the wind (see 14).

• When igniting grill, use a long nozzle butane lighter.

• To ignite grill, first ignite lighter or match flame, put flame to outer edge of Radiant Plate, then turn valve to high "large ".

• To grill, cook with lid on.

To help create your own Magma gourmet experience every time you grill,

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.

• Radiant plate is positioned correctly.

• Grill grate is in locked position under holding clips.

• Turbo Venturi Tube holding nut is tight & doesn't turn when rotating valve position.

• Valve is installed and locked into Turbo Venturi Tube properly.

• Sufficient fuel is available.

• 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.

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

• Stow the valve and Turbo 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.

MAINTENANCE

Complete Disassembly for Cleaning

1 - Remove entire grill body from L-Bracket of Mount. 2 - Unthread and remove burner, Flame Deflector and grease tray from bowl. 3 - To reassemble, reverse above steps and see “Setting Up Your Grill”on page 3.

Stainless Steel, contrary to popular belief, can rust. Most commonly, deposits on the surface of the product will trap moisture. It is this moisture that robs the stainless steel of oxygen. Oxygen is the element that reacts with the stainless steel to form a protective layer of chrome oxide. Robbed of oxygen this reaction does not take place and “crevice corrosion”, or “surface rusting”, occurs. To minimize this effect, thoroughly clean your grill with soap and water, rinse with fresh water and dry. Avoid using products designed to clean stainless steel as most leave a residue that may discolor when the grill is heated.

Additionally, stainless steel that is exposed to high heat will change in color and texture over time. This “bluing” and later “browning” of the internal components is not a failure of the stainless steel and will not affect the product operation. However, prolonged exposure to extreme high heat will cause the chromium and nickel to “burn out” of the stainless steel. At this point the stainless steel will become more susceptible to corrosion and will start to deteriorate. We recommend that you replace these internal components if they become seriously deteriorated.

We recommend thorough cleaning of all internal parts after each outing. It is important to disassemble the interior components and remove any food residue. A soft “Scothbrite” pad or similar product may be used in this process. For heavier burned-on stains we recommend “Easy-Off Oven & Grill Cleaner” followed by thorough washing with soap and water, rinse with fresh water and dry. AVOID CONTACT OF OVEN CLEANER WITH CONTROL VALVE, AND BOAT SURFACES. CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF ABRASIVE PAD ON THE EXTERIOR MIRROR FINISH AS IT WILL SCRATCH THE SURFACE. USE ONLY A SOFT COTTON CLOTH. We recommend covering the grill between uses. Grill covers are available at Magma retailers or directly from Magma. See our website,

www.MagmaProducts.com.

Grill Grates

Clean with brass wire brush while grill is warm. Use Oven & Grill cleaner for burnt-on residue. Wash with soapy water and dry prior to storage.

Control Valve

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

Repair/Replacement Parts

All replacement parts are readily available at your Magma Retailers or directly from Magma. For a complete list of replacement parts, see page 8, or visit our website www.MagmaProducts.com.
