• NEVER LEAVE HOT GRILL UNATTENDED.

• DO NOT OVERHEAT GRILL, SEE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• USE HOT PAD WHEN HANDLING.

• ALWAYS TURN GRILL OFF AFTER USE.

• NEVER LEAVE GAS CYLINDERS AND REGULATOR CONNECTED WHEN STOWED.

• STORE GAS CYLINDERS IN WELL VENTILATED AREA.

• DO NOT STORE GAS CYLINDERS INDOORS, IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, BELOW DECK ON BOATS, OR IN
LOCKERS NOT APPROVED FOR BUTANE OR PROPANE STORAGE.

• CAUTION: CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS EACH TIME CYLINDER IS CHANGED.

• NEVER CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS WITH A FLAME!

• DO NOT BLOCK, RESTRICT, OR OTHERWISE OBSTRUCT COMBUSTION OR
VENTILATION AIR OPENINGS.

• DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.

• KEEP AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE,

• INSTALL CANISTERS IN WELL VENTILLATED AREA AND AWAY FROM OPEN FLAME,
HEAT SOURCE OR SPARKS. KEEP AWAY FROM OTHER PEOPLE OR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.

A

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONTROL VALVE REGULATOR

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

•Prior to installing valve, become familiar with the valve function & 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.

•Position valve with gas bottle as shown (A). Gently insert valve stem
into valve chamber. Rotate until valve stem key aligns with lock detent
allowing valve to fully insert. Rotate gas canister down, so knob faces
you (B) or straight up (C) depending on application. Pull straight out
on valve to check that it is locked in place.

Valve will feel loose and will rotate easily. Even though the valve feels loose, it is designed
that way and will not leak. The valve was designed to be loose fitting in order to allow
safe, easy installation and removal of the propane canister and so it easily swings without
resistance to fit all applications

OPERATING PROCEDURES

OPERATE ONLY ON “LOW” WHEN LID IS CLOSED.

ALWAYS OPERATE WITH GREASE TRAY IN PLACE.

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.

• Place flame up to burner through the match light hole.

• Depress valve and turn counter-clockwise to the “HIGH”.

• Visually confirm ignition.

TO REDUCE FLARE-UP

• Empty and clean grease tray prior to each use.

• Trim excess fats from meat.

• Use non-oil based marinades.

• Reduce heat.

• Use water spray directly on flare-ups.

NOTE: Before lighting, lid lock must be positioned not to engage. Open lid and
turn lock to locked position.

PRACTICAL HINTS:

Before lighting your grill, be sure that …

•

Grill is secure.

•

Internal components and grease tray are clean and correctly positioned.

•

You have plenty of gas in the canister.

•

Gas canister is attached properly and there are no gas leaks.

•

Lid lock has been set not to engage.

•

You have a water spray bottle handy to cool a hot grill or stop any flare-ups.

STOWING TIPS

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

• Stow the valve in a clean, dry area to protect from corrosion to valve.

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

•

vent or use Magma A10-210 Propane/Butane Canister Storage

Locker/Tote Bag.

• Never stow below deck

Typical Preregulated
LPG Application

Stainless steel contrary to popular belief can rust. Most commonly, deposits on surface of the product will trap moisture.
It is this moisture that robs stainless steel of oxygen. Oxygen is the element that reacts with 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 stainless steel polishes on grill exterior as most leave a residue that may discolor when grill is heated.

Additionally, stainless steel that is exposed to high heat will change color and texture over time. The “amber” color of
grill exterior and internal components is not a failure of the stainless steel and will not affect products operation. When this
happens, we recommend using “Magma Magic” Grill Restorer to remove the “amber” color and return grill to its
original luster. However, prolonged exposure to extreme high heat will cause chromium and nickel to “burn out” of stainless
steel. At this point stainless steel will become more susceptible to corrosion and will start to deteriorate. We recommend
replacement of internal components as they become seriously deteriorated.

We recommend thoroughly cleaning grill and internal components after each outing. Disassemble interior components
and remove all food residue. Use a “Scotch Brite” pad or similar product and “Easy-Off” oven cleaner for cleaning grills
interior components, followed by thoroughly washing with soap and water, rinse with fresh water & dry. Thoroughly rinse
the area between the interior heat shield and the front surface of the grill. AVOID CONTACT OF OVEN CLEANER WITH
SKIN, CONTROL VALVE AND BOAT SURFACE. CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF ABRASIVE PAD ON EXTERIOR MIRROR
FINISH AS IT WILL SCRATCH SURFACE, USE ONLY A SOFT CLOTH. We recommend covering grill between uses. Grill covers
are available at Magma retailers or directly from Magma. See our website, 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 in any way.
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.

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
low-pressure 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 CNG (NATURAL GAS) SYSTEMS

• Magma on-board CNG (natural gas) valves allow Magma grills to be installed to an existing on-board,
pre-regulated low pressure CNG (natural gas) system.

• Use only Magma Type 4 Low Pressure CNG (natural gas) control valves. Visit www.MagmaProducts.com to
view valve application guide. See your local dealer for proper hose and fittings.
