INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS (cont.)
The control panel MUST remain removable for
servicing and air shutter adjustment (see PARTS
LIST).
ENSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
COOLING AIRFLOW
Proper airfl ow (Fig. 10-1) 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.
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 outdoor grill
must not be used under unprotected overhead
combustible construction. THIS UNIT MUST NOT
BE LOCATED IN A FULLY ENCLOSED AREA
OF ANY KIND.
CAUTION: Wind blowing into or across the rear
oven lid vent (Fig. 10-2) can cause
poor performance and/or dangerous
overheating. Orient the grill so that the
prevailing wind blows toward the front
of the grill (Fig. 10-3).

IN-GROUND POST INSTALLATION
PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION
Consult a qualifi ed professional installer / licensed contractor.
The in-ground post is designed primarily for installation with
a permanent underground gas supply. The power supply
cord is to be routed out the back.
To gain access to the inside of the post, unscrew and
carefully open the access plate on the rear of the post using
a medium Phillips-head screwdriver. Retain the screws.
A power supply is pre-mounted to the access plate. For
ease of installation, disconnect the power supply from the
wire harness extension. Locate the three wires coming from
the inside of the post to the power supply and carefully
disconnect (see Fig. 13-1 and 13-2).
Important: Pull from the connectors (not the wires).
ROUTE POWER SUPPLY CORD
The power cord will need to be routed through the access
plate for later connection to a GFCI receptacle.
1. Remove the knock-out disc at the bottom left of the
access plate with a large fl athead screwdriver. (Insert
the screwdriver into the notch provided in the center
of the knock-out.)
2. Feed the power cord through the newly created hole.
3. Remove the plastic power cord bushing fastened to
the inside of the post and install it onto the power cord.
Slide the bushing up against the access plate knock-
out hole and snap into place. See Fig. 13-1.
ROUTE GAS SUPPLY
Note: This section addresses an underground gas supply
setup. To connect through the rear of the post,
reference the ROUTE FLEX CONNECTOR section
of PATIO-MOUNT INSTALLATION, and do not
perform the steps until after: attaching the extension
post, and installing the post / pouring the concrete.
1. After running the underground gas supply line to
the planned grill location, dig a hole for the post and
extension approximately 18" deep and 10-12" in
diameter.
Note: Run the gas supply line up from the bottom of
the hole (a little off center) so that it reaches to
approximately 4" above ground level.
Note: The actual depth of the hole should be such that
the cooking surface is 34-35" above ground level.
2. Verify that the gas supply line fi ts through the gas line
clearance hole in the bottom of the post (see Fig. 13-3).
The clearance hole is the larger of the two holes in the
bottom of the post and is off center.
3. Verify that the fl ex connector coming from the inside of
the post will connect properly with the gas supply line.

extend high enough to reach the grill gas
connection and remain safely above the level
of the concrete when poured.
3. Remove the post, then cover the end of the gas supply
line with a plastic bag and/or masking tape to avoid
getting concrete or other debris in the supply line.
4. Pour the concrete into the hole 3-5" below ground
level taking care to protect the gas supply line.
5. While the concrete is still wet, carefully lower the
extended grill post into the hole so that the gas
supply line slides through the clearance hole in the
bottom of the post.
6. Orient the grill per plan, then level the grill and support
it so that it remains in position while the concrete drys.

The infrared (IR) searing burner (optional) cooks with
a powerful radiant heat.
Light the infrared burner following the LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS in this manual or printed on the
drip tray. Follow these guidelines when operating the
Infrared burner:
• DO NOT place food on the cooking grid until
the IR burner glows orange (Fig. 25-3). Drippings
are heated and evaporate instead of sticking to and
impairing burner function.
• For cleaning purposes; always leave your burner
on (after cooking) for an additional 5 minutes, to
allow for a burnoff period. This is important to
keep your burner clean and operating properly.
As the burner is self cleaning (at full temperature);
avoid the use of cleaners or abrasives.
• When not in use, always cover the infrared burner
with the stainless-steel cover. This protects the
burner from drippings (from other cooking), airborne
particles, and foreign objects (Fig. 25-2).
• Do not strike or scratch the burner ceramic as it
may chip, crack, or break (Fig. 25-2).
Note: Digital thermometer does not give accurate
readings for infrared burners.
Important: When grilling with the infrared burner,
always place a cooking grid above it.
The cooking grid must be removed for
rotisserie cooking.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate your IR burner with the
oven hood closed.
CAUTION: Never attempt to operate the IR burner
with the protective cover in place.
WARNING
Only handle the infrared burner cover when the
grill is cold or with a well-insulated long-handled
tool or heat resistant gloves.
Burner ceramic must be protected with cover when
burner is not in use.
Drips and particles evaporate before hitting infrared
burner when cooking at the maximum setting.
Note: Flavor grids are not to be used with infrared
burners.
To ensure proper operation, all infrared burners
(back and main) must be operated on the HI setting
for a minimum of 10 minutes. Thereafter, the fl ame
may be lowered as desired.
CAUTION: Always monitor the infrared burner fl ame
when operated on low, as it may blow
out in high-wind conditions.

OPTIONAL INFRARED BURNER OPERATION
26
The art of grilling involves learning the nuances of your
grill and knowing how various cuts of meat and other
foods cook on it under different settings and conditions.
Each grill will be unique due to its configuration
and how it is positioned or installed. This section
contains information about how Fire Magic grills were
engineered, which will help you in learning how your
grill responds to the way you use it.
GRILL HEAT DISTRIBUTION - MAIN BURNERS
The heat level at each part of the grill has been
engineered for specifi c purposes. Knowing the heat
distribution for each burner will allow you the best
possible food positioning when grilling.
CAUTION: Even the coolest part of the grill is too
hot to be touched during operation of
the grill.
The front of the grill is designed, for safety reasons,
to be the coolest part of the grill. If you look directly
down on the grill top, while it is off and cool, you can
see this portion of the grill, where the front end of each
burner stops and the slope of the inner grill fi re wall
begins. This area also loses heat most rapidly when
the oven lid is opened (see Fig. 26-2).
From the front of the grill moving toward the back, the
heat rises gradually until just above the burner’s front
edge, where it rises rapidly to a fairly even temperature
refl ected by the thermometer. The heat continues to
rise gradually until it reaches a maximum directly
above the place where the two lobes of each burner
connect (see Fig. 26-2). From there to the back of
the grill, heat diminishes moderately. This supports
the desired temperature for the warming rack and
prevents heat from becoming excessive at the back
fi re wall of the grill.
GRILL HEAT DISTRIBUTION - IR BURNER
Infrared burners are designed for even, searing
heat across their whole surface. Because the heat
is radiant, it tends to heat the food you are cooking
directly without heating the air around it as much as
a conventional burner.
WIND CONSIDERATIONS
Wind direction can have an effect on the grill,
especially with the oven open. For maximum stability
and convenience, position the grill so that the oven
opens toward any prevailing wind (Fig. 26-1).
Fig. 26-1
Orient barbecue so prevailing
wind blows in this direction

GRILLING TIPS
27
THE COOKING GRID LIFTER
Hold the grid lifter by gripping the center section with the
prongs pointing down (use an oven mitt or heavy glove
if the grill is hot). Insert the notched end of the grid lifter
into the cooking grid, in front of the midway point (front
to back; Fig. 27-3), and central (left to right; Fig. 27-4).
Twist the grill lifter (clockwise or counterclockwise) so
the handle is parallel to the grill rods. This “seats” the
spiked end of the grid lifter between two rods, enabling
you to safely lift out the grid. Lift slowly and adjust the
grid lifter, if necessary, for balance.
Placement of the grid lifter in cooking grid
Fig. 27-3
Fig. 27-4
THE DRIP TRAY
The drip collection system allows you to brush or scrape
excess dried residue from the grilling area directly into
the drip tray (see PARTS LIST for drip tray location).
THE GRILL BRUSH (OPTIONAL)
Purchase a Fire Magic
®
stainless-steel grill brush (sold
separately) to keep your grill cleaner. It comes with
scraper for large particles and a replaceable head with
brass bristles for overall cleaning.
Grill brush with replacement head
Fig. 27-1
THE WARMING RACK
The warming rack (Fig. 27-2) is packed separately.
To install the warming rack, lift the front of the rack
up slightly and insert the rack hangers into the two
holes in the back of the inner oven hood just above the
backburner. Then lower the front of the rack into a level
position to lock the rack in place.
To remove the warming rack, lift up on the front of the
rack until the rack hangers pull free from their supporting
holes.
Note: Removing the warming rack before using the
rotisserie will leave more clearance for the
meat being cooked.

THE WARMING RACK (if equipped)
Flavor grid
THE FLAVOR GRID(S)
Place each fl avor grid directly over a burner. The solid
areas of the grid should rest over the tabs found on the
burner. See Fig. 27-5. The slightly larger grids are
designed to be placed over the outside burners,
and the slightly smaller grid(s) are designed to be
placed over the interior burner(s).
Note: This allows heat from the burners to be evenly
distributed throughout the cooking area. The
fl avor grids heat and cool quickly, making the
grill very responsive to changes in heat from
the burners.
Fig. 27-5
THE ROTIS-A-LIGHT (OPTIONAL)
This fl exible grill lighting solution
(sold separately)
will enhance your outdoor cooking experience by
enabling you to continue cooking long after the sun
has set. The Rotis-A-Light has two multi-directional
fl exi-angles, making this a completely versatile
and indispensable light suitable for any grilling
location.

Drippings from grilling flow through specially
designed channels and collect in the drip tray .
Check the drip tray regularly and empty when
required.
Your grill includes a pack of four (4) Fire Magic
®
drip tray liners (Fig. 28-1). For your convenience
in cleanup, place a liner into the drip tray before
grilling.
To fi t a liner into the drip tray, pull out the tray and
set it on a fl at, level surface. Place the liner in the
drip tray as shown in Fig. 28-2 and carefully insert
the tray back under the control panel.
Note: Be sure that the liner is properly placed into
the the drip tray. The front of the liner must
fi t under the drip tray's lighting instruction
plate (see 28-3 detail).
After each use, wait for the grill to cool and carefully
pull out the drip tray to check it. When a liner is
nearing full, carefully lift it out of the drip tray, lifting
with both hands to keep the tray level until it is
safely discarded. Then insert a new drip tray liner.
Order more drip tray liners through your local Fire
Magic
®
dealer.
Note: The foil tray liner is also useful for setting on
burners to cover them and catch drippings
directly during rotisserie only cooking.
Note: For models with match holders attached
inside the drip tray, place the match holder
off to one edge of the pan (Fig. 28-3). If
necessary, mold the foil liner around them
and the other features of the tray to create
enough clearance space to open and close
the tray without catching the liner.

PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE FROM THE
WEATHER
An optional cover will protect your appliance when not
in use. (Allow to cool before covering.)
Please specify the model number and serial number
of your appliance when ordering a cover.
APPLIANCE MUST BE COMPLETELY COOL WHEN
CLEANING. DO NOT SPRAY ANY CLEANER OR
LIQUIDS ON THE APPLIANCE WHEN HOT.
The appliance must be cleaned as often as once a month
(depending on use) to prevent grease build-up and other
food deposits.
INTERIOR
THE BURNER PORTS AND CARRY-OVER PORTS/
SLOTS MUST BE KEPT CLEAN TO ENSURE PROPER
IGNITION AND OPERATION.
Remove the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions)
and clean the ports and slots as required. (For Fire Magic
grills use Maintenance Kit part #MK-1.) Also inspect and
clean the burner inlet for insects and nests. A clogged
burner can lead to a fi re in the bottom of the appliance.
The inside of the appliance may be cleaned periodically
with oven cleaner if desired. Follow the oven cleaner
instructions for proper use.
Be careful not to get oven cleaner on the outside surface
of the appliance as it can permanently damage the fi nish.
EXTERIOR
Stainless steel surfaces when exposed to temperatures
produced by the grilling process will change color. The
stainless steel will change color from silver to brown
and blue. This can be removed by using stainless steel
cleaner.
Clean your appliance by fi rst using grill cleaner to remove
grease and dirt. Always wipe with the grain (See Fig.
29-1). Next, use stainless steel cleaner to restore the
stainless steel color (Note: not for mirror fi nish). Finish
by wiping your appliance down using polish wipes. To
clean any mirror fi nish (if applicable), use a quality
brand glass cleaner only, not any of the cleaners
mentioned above.
If your appliance is installed in a seaside (salt air) or
poolside (chlorine) location, it will be more susceptible
to corrosion and must be maintained/cleaned more
frequently. Do not store chemicals (such as chlorine or
fertilizer) near your stainless steel appliance.
Due to the nature of stainless steel, surface iron oxide
deposits may appear. Do not be alarmed – these deposits
are removable with stainless steel cleaner through prompt
and periodic maintenance. If not attended to promptly,
permanent pitting may occur.
By following these recommendations, you will enjoy the
beauty and convenience of your appliance for many years
to come.
IMPORTANT
IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, IMMEDIATELY
SHUT OFF THE MAIN GAS VALVE TO THE GRILL.
KEEP THE LID OPEN AND ALLOW THE FIRE TO
EXTINGUISH ITSELF. A THOROUGH INSPECTION
BY A TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN SHOULD
BE CONDUCTED BEFORE FUTURE USE OF YOUR
GRILL. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN WILL CHECK
THE SYSTEM FOR GAS LEAKS AND WILL CHECK
ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR DAMAGE. ALL GAS
LEAKS AND WIRING MUST BE REPAIRED PRIOR
TO FUTURE USE.

Fire Magic
®
grills are all engineered with the
conveniences of electrical power for illuminating and
igniting the grill.
To replace any oven light, follow the instructions below.
Important: ONLY REPLACE WITH 12V / 10 WATT
HALOGEN BULB(S).
WARNING
To protect from potentially sharp sheet metal and
glass, wear gloves and safety glasses during this
procedure.
1. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position
and shut off the gas supply to the grill at the source
(tank valve for propane units or gas line shut-off
valve for natural gas units.)
2. Disconnect supply of external electrical power to
the grill.
CAUTION: Wait for the grill, oven, lens, light bulb,
and fi xture to cool before proceeding to
the next step.
3. Open the oven lid.
Important: Place one hand directly below the glass
lens and prepare to catch it when it is
detached.
4. Carefully insert a standard fl at head screwdriver
or thin plastic spatula between the glass lens and
the stainless steel on which the light is mounted
and gently pry the glass lens out in such a way
that the stainless steel is not scratched (twisting
the screwdriver handle, for instance). Catch the
lens and set it safely aside.
Note: You may wish to take this opportunity to clean
the lens with a standard household window
cleaner and then dry it completely.
5. Wearing a pair of gloves, reach into the fi xture,
gently grab the bulb, and pull it straight out of the
fi xture so that the two pins at the base of the bulb
come all the way out.
Important: Bulb is halogen. DO NOT TOUCH with
bare hands. Oils from hands drastically
reduce bulb life.
Note: It may be helpful to rock the bulb gently
backward and forward while pulling it out.
6. Inspect the old bulb for broken glass or fi lament.
Note: It may be benefi cial to test a suspect bulb
in one of the other light fi xtures known to be
working and turn the power back on to be
certain the bulb is actually not working.
7. Insert the new 12V / 10 watt halogen bulb into the
socket so that both pins slide all the way into the
two holes in the bottom of the socket.
8. Place the lens back into the fi xture opening with
the curved cut-out on the bottom and snap it back
into place.

the regulator setting, remove the cap in the center of the
regulator (Fig. 32-1). Holding the cap vertical (see Fig.
32-2), the letters at the bottom of the plastic stalk indicate
the gas type for which the regulator is currently confi gured.
If the bottom of the regulator stalk does not indicate the
gas connected to the grill, remove the stalk from the cap,
invert, and replace into center of cap. Replace cap on the
regulator, screwing down until snug.
GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION
This Fire Magic
®
grill comes from the factory confi gured
for one type of gas as marked on the label behind the
control panel. When the grill is converted, this label
must be replaced or updated to identify the new gas.
Each burner has a brass orifi ce, which can be replaced
and must match the gas being used. When converting
the grill to a different gas, each burner’s orifi ce must
be replaced with the corresponding orifi ce for the new
gas.
Natural-gas to propane-gas conversions using a
tank internal to a portable grill require installation of
a propane tank holder (not included) for safety and
compliance with the ANSI standards referenced on
the cover of this document. This tank holder must be
purchased separately from the manufacturer.
Consult Table 1 at the beginning of this document to
determine the proper orifi ce sizes for each burner.
It is critical to the operation of each burner that its orifi ce
be fully inserted into the center of its orifi ce opening.
WARNING
Hazardous overheating will occur if a natural-gas
orifi ce is used with propane gas.
CAUTION: Make sure the grill is at a safe
temperature and isolated from gas and
electrical supplies before beginning.
For your safety, exercise caution, and make sure you
have adequate hand protection, such as gloves, when
handling metal parts.
Required tools:
• Phillips-head screwdriver (#2 medium)
• Needle-nose pliers

orifi ce (Fig. 32-4) and replace it with the correct
orifi ce for the new gas. (See
Table 1 at the beginning of this
document for orifi ce sizes.)
6. Replace the burner by first
sliding the open cylindrical
end of the burner around
the orifi ce, enveloping it and
centering on it, then lower the
back end anchor pegs into the
anchor peg holes.
Note: It is critical to the continued safe functioning
of the burner that the orifi ce is centered and
completely inside the burner gas conduit.
7. Reinsert the cotter pin into the right rear burner
anchor peg using fi ngers or needle-nose pliers.
8. Replace the fl avor grid and then the cooking grid so

burner up so that both tabs are freed from their slots,
then lift the burner toward the back of the fi re box
and upward. Set the burner aside.
4. Use a
3
/
8
" hex nut driver to remove the exposed orifi ce
and replace it with the proper orifi ce for the new gas
(see Table 1 for sizing).
5. Replace the infrared burner by fi rst sliding it over the
orifi ce, then lowering the two tabs under the back of
the burner into the slots in the back burner rest.
6. Reattach the lighting tube and replace the grid so
that the cut-out section is in front.
34
1. Follow the safety precautions and steps for
main burner removal
in the CHANGING
THE MAIN BURNER
ORIFICES section
(steps 1-4).
2. Adjust the air shutter
opening by loosening
the adjustment screw
with a screwdriver,
then sliding the air shutter backward or forward
to open or close the air shutter opening (see
Fig. 34-2).
Too large an air shutter opening will allow too much
air into the burner, which will cause the fl ames fi rst
to shorten and then to appear to lift up off the ports.
For the bottom of the fl ames to move closer to the
ports, close the air shutter more.
If the air shutter opening is too small or closed, the
fl ames will present consistently orange tips and
become “lazy,” slowly undulating back and forth.
For propane gas, ideal settings tend to be just
slightly open. For natural gas, which generally
requires less primary air than propane, the main
burner air shutter may be nearly closed.
3. Adjust the air shutter opening and then replace
the burner (steps 6-8 in the CHANGING THE
MAIN BURNER ORIFICES section)
4. Follow the lighting instructions in this manual to
light the burner.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until the fl ames appear to
touch the burner ports, burning fairly steadily
and mostly blue (see Fig. 34-1).
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Important: Air shutters are preset at the
factory based on the gas the grill is
built to burn. However, altitude or
other local conditions may require
air shutter adjustment for proper
combustion.
MAIN BURNER
Flames from a properly adjusted main burner with
no wind or breeze present will appear fairly steady,
consistent, and mostly blue. If the tip of a fl ame were
to turn orange, it should only do so briefl y and then
become blue again. The fl ames will appear to burn
while touching the burner ports (see Figure 34-1).
If the fl ames have orange in them and appear to
undulate slowly from side to side, or if some of them
appear to lift off the burner instead of touching it,
then adjust the air shutter, as instructed below.
CAUTION: Turn all burner control knobs to the
OFF position and turn off the gas
supply at the source before removing
or adjusting a burner.
WARNING
Wait for the burner to be cool or use heavily insulated
heat-resistant gloves when handling the burner.

BACKBURNER (IF EQUIPPED)
The air shutter is set at the factory. However,
altitude or other local conditions may require air
shutter adjustment for proper combustion.
Flames from a properly adjusted backburner will
appear as a horizontal line of even blue fl ames along
the bottom of and behind the backburner grating. The
grating itself will glow red after it heats up.
Note: It is normal for the backburner to smoke
when it is fi rst used. Burning the backburner
on HI LIGHT for approximately 15 minutes
will eliminate the smoking.
If, instead of being blue and even, the backburner
fl ames appear to have orange in them and waver
slowly left and right, or if the fl ames appear to lift
off the burner, adjust the backburner air shutter by
following the steps below.
The backburner air shutter adjustment is located
behind the right side of the access panel in the back
of the oven, above the cooking grid.
Note: It is only necessary to remove the
backburner back panel, not the backburner,
when adjusting the backburner air shutter.
1. Follow the safety precautions and steps for
backburner back panel removal (steps 1-4) in
the CHANGING THE BACKBURNER ORIFICE
section.
CAUTION: The backburner air shutter can be
safely adjusted with the backburner lit
if it is adjusted using a long-handled
screwdriver or well-insulated fi re and
heat-resistant gloves.
2. Adjust the air-shutter opening by loosening the
adjustment screw with a
screwdriver, then sliding
the air shutter backward
or forward to open or
close the air shutter
opening (see Fig 35-2).
Watch the backburner
flames while adjusting
the air shutter.
