READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS PROVIDED WITH YOUR PROPANE GAS CYLINDER.
IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY
When operating this appliance with a propane gas cylinder the following instructions and warnings MUST be observed.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
This is a SLIDE-IN TYPE unit designed to fit into open-front
enclosures. The front panel (Face) of the unit is removable for
gas hookup, servicing and burner adjustment, and MUST remain
removable after you install the unit.
INSTALLER NOTE: This unit should be installed so that it can
be removed at a later date if factory service is required. Any
protrusion into the barbecue enclosure may obstruct the frame
and prevent the unit from sliding into place (see "Gas Supply
Plumbing Requirements" below).
ENSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND COOLING
AIR FLOW
Maintaining a proper air flow
for your Fire Magic
Barbecue is essential if it
is to perform as it was
designed (Figure 1). If
airflow is blocked,
overheating and poor
combustion will result.
Make sure not to block the
1" front air inlet along the
bottom of the barbecue
face.
NOTE: The 1" front air
space allows access to the
drip tray.
Fire Magic Barbecues are designed FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
WARNING: Built-in models must be installed in masonry or other type of fireproof enclosure. The unit is NOT insulated
and therefore must be installed with 18" of side and back clearance from unprotected combustible materials such as
wood, plastic, or stucco with wood framing.
DO NOT install this unit under unprotected flammable surfaces. DO NOT install or use this appliance inside a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area including recreational vehicles or boats.
PLANNING FOR INSTALLATION OF YOUR CUSTOM GOURMET BARBECUE
For useful advice and help with constructing your barbecue contact your local Fire Magic dealer
VENTILATION OF ENCLOSURES
When using propane gas, take EXTREME CAUTION to
ensure ample ventilation of gas vapor. Propane vapor is
invisible and heavier than air. A DANGEROUS EXPLOSION
could occur, resulting in SERIOUS INJURY, OR LOSS OF
LIFE if propane gas is allowed to accumulate and then ignite.
(SEE PROPANE CYLINDER ENCLOSURES PAGE 7)
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
All electrical outlets in the vicinity of the barbecue must be
properly grounded.
Installer and User Note: Keep electrical supply cords away
from all heated surfaces.
EXHAUST REMOVAL
If installed under a patio roof, the grill area should be fully
covered by a chimney and exhaust hood. An exhaust fan with
a rating of 1000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) or more may be
necessary to efficiently remove smoke and other cooking by-
products from the covered area. Installation in fully-enclosed
patio areas is not recommended.
SAFETY NOTE: An external valve (with a removable key) in
the gas line is necessary for safety when your barbecue is
not in use. It also provides for convenient maintenance.
NOTE: Review page 5, Section 4 prior to connecting the
unit. The gas supply pipe should enter from the rear wall of the
enclosure behind the barbecue unit, at least 2" from either side,
and between 1" and 7" above the bottom of the barbecue unit
as illustrated by the shaded area A in Figure 2. If it is not possible
to stub the gas line in from the back of the enclosure, the
connection may be made through the floor at the rear of the
enclosure. Install the gas line stub at least 3" away from the
side walls and 1" from the back wall, but within 5" of the back
wall as illustrated by the shaded area B in Figure 2.
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
GAS SUPPLY AND MANIFOLD PRESSURES:
For Natural Gas - Normal 7" Water Column, Minimum 5",
Maximum 101/2". For Propane Gas - Normal 11" Water
Column, Minimum 10", Maximum 13".
Rigid 1/2" or 3/4" black steel pipe, or local code approved pipe
for temperatures up to 800°F (427°C), is required to conduct
the gas supply into the enclosure opening for connection to the
unit. DO NOT use a rubber hose within the enclosure for the
barbecue unit. Apply only joint compounds that are resistant
to all gasses on all male pipe fittings. Make sure to tighten
every joint securely.
