CHECKING AND CONVERTING GAS TYPE

This unit comes from the factory confi gured for one type of gas, as marked on the label located behind the control panel, or on the interior of the unit’s enclosure.

Converting this unit to burn a different type of gas requires a conversion kit (contact your dealer for details). The professional installer who converts this unit to burn a different gas must perform the following functions:

1. Change brass gas orifi ces (included at original shipping) on each burner to match the new gas type (see

PRODUCT DATA TABLE, Table 1).

WARNING

HAZARDOUS OVERHEATING WILL OCCUR IF A

NATURAL-GAS ORIFICE IS USED WITH PROPANE

GAS. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF THE CORRECT

ORIFICES ARE INSTALLED, OR IF AN ORIFICE

CHANGE IS NECESSARY, REFER TO THE FOLLOWING

INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION: Make sure the unit is at a safe temperature and isolated from gas and electrical supplies before beginning the tasks outlined below.

2. Switch the convertible gas regulator ( originally equipped only on Nat. gas models) to match the new gas type (see below).

Note: The cooler the unit, the greater the tolerances between the stainless-steel parts, and therefore the easier to disassemble and reassemble parts of the unit.

3. Plumb the unit as appropriate for the new gas supply.

4. Apply the label for the new gas (included at original shipping) over the old gas information found on your unit.

CAUTION: For your safety, exercise caution and use adequate hand protection (such as gloves) when handling potentially sharp sheet-metal parts.

CHECKING AND CONVERTING THE REGULATOR (if equipped)

Regulator: note the cap on top

Note: Each end of the plastic converter is engraved with either the letters “NAT” or “L.P.” (propane) for the respective gasses. When the converter is in the cap and the cap is held uppermost, the letters seen indicate the gas that the regulator is set up for.

To convert the regulator from one gas to another, follow steps 1-4.

STEP 1:

Unscrew and remove the cap from the regulator, extracting the converter.

Read gas type here

STEP 2:

Remove the converter (the plastic stalk) by carefully pulling it away from the center of the cap (it will snap out of its seating).

STEP 3:

Turn the converter around and replace it carefully, into the center of the cap (it will snap into place). Check that you can read the type of gas the unit is set for.

STEP 4:

Replace the unit into the regulator and screw down until snug.

BARBECUE SAFETY INFORMATION & MAINTENANCE

Each time you use the barbecue, make sure that: DRIP COLLECTION SYSTEM

1. The area around the barbecue is clear of fl ammable vapors, liquids, and substances such as gasoline, yard debris, wood, etc.

The drip collector in this barbecue is part of the unit’s main frame and is located below the burners. The drip collector has slots that will allow excess drippings to fall through during cooking, while separating the fi rebox from the drip tray. Clean the drip tray after each use.

2. There is no blockage of the airfl ow through the vent space located below the face of the unit.

3. When using propane gas:

a. The special ventilation openings in the enclosure should be kept free and clear of debris

(see PLANNING THE LOCATION OF THE

BARBECUE).

The drip collector allows you to brush or scrape residue from the barbecue’s inner liner into the drip tray.

Following the manufacturers instructions and regular cleaning of the barbecue’s interior with oven cleaner, will help to prevent grease fi res.

b. If connected to a propane cylinder, the rubber hose attached to the regulator should be carefully inspected before each use.

c. The propane cylinder, regulator, and rubber hose should be installed in a location not subject to heating above

125° F (51° C).

Periodically check the burners to make sure they are clear of debris. Properly adjusted burner fl ames burn evenly along both sides of each burner with a steady fl ame (mostly blue). If burner fl ames are not normal, check the orifi ce and burner for insects or insect nests.

(See section on CHECKING/CONVERTING THE

BURNER ORIFICES for instructions on burner removal and replacement.)

4. The burner fl ames burn evenly along both sides of each burner with a steady flame, which is mostly blue. (Refer to section on AIR SHUTTER

ADJUSTMENT.) A proper fl ame pattern will ensure safe operation and optimal performance. Adjust the air shutter as needed. If burner fl ames are not normal, check the orifi ce and burner for insects or insect nests.

Check the burner ports at least annually for blockage by removing the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions) and visually inspect the gas intake tube for insects and nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fi re beneath the grill.

5. The inline gas valve or gas cylinder valve is always shut OFF when the barbecue is not in use.

6. The drip collector hole is clear and unobstructed.

Excessive grease deposits can result in a grease fi re.

7. The barbecue is free and clear from combustible materials, gasoline, and other fl ammable vapors and liquids.

8. The infrared burner cover (if equipped) must be removed before using the burner.

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.

CAUTION: NEVER spray water on a hot gas unit.

ACCESSORIES

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 shown in Fig. 22-1.

Note: This allows heat from the burners to be evenly distributed throughout the cooking area. The vaporizer panels heat and cool quickly, making the grill very responsive to the changes in heat from the burners.

The warming rack (Fig. 22-2) 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.

Fig. 22-1

Note: Removing the warming rack before using the rotisserie will leave more clearance for the meat being cooked.

Grill brush with replacement head

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. 22-3), and central (left to right; Fig. 22-4). 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.

CARE & CLEANING

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

Wipe with grain

THE BURNER PORTS AND CARRY-OVER SLOTS

MUST BE KEPT CLEAN TO ENSURE PROPER

IGNITION AND OPERATION.

Fig. 23-1 - Wipe with grain

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.

PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE FROM THE

WEATHER

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.

An optional heavy-duty cover will protect your appliance’s fi nish and protect your investment. The water repellent cover will protect your appliance from the weather. Always cover your appliance when not in use. (Allow to cool before covering.)

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.

23-1). 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 the mirror panel (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.

Please specify the model number and serial number of your appliance when ordering a cover.

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.

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.
