CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY (Cont.)
c. Slide your barbecue into place, making sure not to
pinch or kink the gas connector.
d. Bring the fl ex connector around the left-hand side
of the barbecue. Use the locator angle brackets on the
left lower-frame to position the fl ex connector. Continue
the fl ex connector around the front of the unit to the
valve inlet fl are fi tting. Be careful not to block the 1"
front vent opening as this will obstruct drip tray removal.
e. Connect the fl ex connector to the fl are fi tting on
the valve. Support the valve inlet fi tting with a wrench
to avoid applying excessive torque to the valve body
while tightening this connection securely. Do not use
pipe compound on fl are fi ttings.
f. Make sure the barbecue burner valve is in the 'OFF'
position. Turn the gas supply on. Then carefully check
all gas connections for leaks with a brush and soapy
water before lighting. NEVER USE A MATCH OR
OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
g. Refer to the 'Air Shutter Adjustment' and 'Lighting
Instructions' on pages 7 and 8 of this manual before
replacing barbecue face and knobs.
4. INSTALL THE FLAVOR GRID
a. Place the fl avor grids directly on the burners,
centering the grids over the burners with the open
side up (Figure 4).This allows heat from the burners
to be evenly distributed throughout the cooking area.
The fl avor grid heats and cools quickly, making your
Fire Magic Barbecue very responsive to the changes
you specify in grill temperature.
The fl avor grid is made of 304 stainless steel. It is
rust resistant and may be cleaned with standard oven
cleaners.
5. 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 holes which allow
excess drippings to fall through during cooking. The
drip collector is also useful as it allows you to brush or
scrape off excess dried residue inside the barbecue
directly into the drip tray.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Every time you use your barbecue, make sure that:
1. The area around the barbecue is clear of fl ammable
substances such as gasoline, yard debris, wood, etc.
2. There is no blockage of the air fl ow through the vent
space located below the face of the unit.
3. When using propane gas, the special ventilation
openings in the enclosure must be kept free and clear
of debris.
4. The burner fl ames burn evenly along both sides
of each burner with a steady fl ame (mostly blue with
yellow tipping). See the 'Lighting Instructions' on page
8 of this manual for more information.
5. The drip collector holes are clear and unobstructed.
Failure to remove excessive grease deposits
accumulated in either the drip collector or the drip tray
below can result in a grease fi re.
6. The in-line gas valve or tank (cylinder) valve is always
shut-off when the barbecue is not in use.
PREPARING THE BARBECUE FOR COOKING
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 valve to the 'HIGH' setting to
burn off residue remaining from prior use.
3. When the barbecue has heated suffi ciently, 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 fl ame as
cooking temperatures will quickly be exceeded.
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.
