PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION OF YOUR FIRE MAGIC SIDE BURNER

Your Fire Magic Sideburner is designed to complement your Fire Magic Barbecue. It provides a convenient, efficient cooking surface for side dishes that require bottom heat only.

TOOLS REQUIRED: A pair of wrenches, pliers or vice grips for the gas connection.

CODE AND SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS: This burner must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the absence of local codes, with the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

This appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system when testing the system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psig.

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at pressures up to and including 1/2 psig.

WHERE TO INSTALL YOUR SIDEBURNER

Fire Magic Sideburners are designed for outdoor use only.

WARNING: Sideburners 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 under overhead unprotected flammable construction. A 4" clearance to any back wall is required to open the lid properly.

This is a drop-in type unit. The unit must be removable for gas hookup, servicing and burner adjustment.

PROPER VENTILATION: Proper ventilation of your sideburner must be maintained to ensure proper performance. Do not operate with lid closed.

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.

2

Only one propane gas cylinder may be located in an

enclosure. Extra or spare cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and outside of any building, garage or other enclosed area. READ AND

FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS PROVIDED WITH PROPANE

GAS CYLINDERS. Never locate a cylinder under or

near the barbecue unless sufficient ventilation and shielding is provided to prevent any heating of the cylinder, regulator and rubber hose.

Propane Cylinder Enclosures

To prevent invisible combustible gas from accumulating in your cylinder enclosure, you must provide adequate ventilation. This is accomplished by EITHER of the following methods. One side of the gas cylinder enclosure can be left completely open to the outside OR by providing four (4) ventilation openings. Two openings are to be at the cylinder valve level (approx.16” above the floor) and on opposite walls of the enclosure. Two more openings must be at the floor level on opposite sides of the enclosure. The floor level openings must start at the floor and shall extend no higher than 5” above the floor.

Each opening must have a minimum of 10 square inches

(64.5 cm 2 ) of free area. To achieve the proper ventilation, you may drill a series of holes, omit the grout from masonry joints or replace a brick with a hardware cloth screen. If the floor in the cabinet is raised and the space beneath the cabinet is open to the outside, the lower ventilation openings may be in the floor.

FOR YOUR SAFETY, you must provide these openings for drainage, replacement air and cross ventilation of any storage area exposed to possible leakage from gas connections, the barbecue or propane cylinder.

HOUSEHOLD PROPANE GAS SERVICE

Consult your gas supplier for ventilation and regulator requirements when connecting to a HOUSEHOLD propane supply.

EXHAUST REMOVAL: When installed under a patio roof, the side burner area should be under a hood with an exhaust fan.

GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS: Rigid 1/2" black steel pipe is required to conduct the gas supply into the masonry opening for connection to the unit. Apply pipe joint compound (resistant to all gasses) to all male pipe fittings and tighten all joints securely. Do not use pipe joint compound to connect flare fittings. The

4" 14 1/4"

COUNTER

TOP pipe should enter enclosure either from bottom or from any side at least 4" below the counter top (see

Figure 1).

6" CLEARANCE

ALSO ALLOW SPACE FOR HOOKUP

SIDE VIEW

N O T E : A n y

Figure 1 protrusion into the enclosure higher than 4" below countertop will obstruct the frame and prevent the unit from dropping into place.

SAFETY NOTE: An external valve (with a removable key) in the gas line is recommended for safety.

GAS SUPPLY AND MANIFOLD PRESSURES:

For Natural Gas - normal 7" water column, minimum

5", maximum 10-1/2". For Propane Gas - normal 11" water column, minimum 8", maximum 13". A REGULA-

TOR MUST BE PROVIDED AT THE BOTTLE OR GAS

SOURCE FOR USE WITH PROPANE GAS.

INSTALLING YOUR FIRE MAGIC SIDE BURNER (BUILT-IN APPLICATION)

1. CHECKING FUEL AND PROPER ORIFICES: Your Fire

Magic Sideburner is equipped with orifices for natural gas unless otherwise indicated. For propane gas, smaller orifices must be installed to avoid hazardous overheating.

The orifice size for Natural Gas is #49 (drill size) and for

Propane Gas, the orifice size is #56 (drill size). Check the orifice size by removing the burner cap (Item#9F) and the venturi tube (Item #9C) and looking down through the hole in the center (see Figure 2 for the location of the orifice). The drill size is stamped on the orifice. If the number is not visible you may have to remove the orifice

(as detailed below) in order to read the number stamped on the side of the orifice.

To remove or change an orifice, you need a 3/8" nut driver or small wrench. Loosen the orifice using the nut driver, approaching from above, or by approaching from underneath the burner using a small wrench.

Figure 2

ORIFICE

Remove (check the number on the side if needed) and replace with the correct sized orifice for your gas type.

2. CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY TO YOUR FIRE

MAGlC SIDEBURNER:

a. The burner manifold has a 3/8” male flare fitting gas inlet elbow. A 3/8" female flare fitting connector nut is required to hook the gas supply to the burner.

b. Use a stainless steel flex connector to bring the gas supply from the gas line stub or propane gas tank to the sideburner manifold. A 3/8" x 24" or 36" flex connector is suitable for most installations.

CAUTION: Use only a C.S.A. listed stainless steel flex connector. Do not use a rubber hose or plastic hose within the enclosure for your sideburner, it will leak resulting in an explosion and/or serious injury.

NOTE: For installation in a portable barbecue cart, see the installation instructions packed with the sideburner shelf and connector kit. Also refer to the portable cart instruction section for attaching shelves.

c. Be sure the gas supply is 'OFF'. Connect the pipe adapter fitting supplied with the flex connector to the gas supply stub. Use pipe joint compound which is resistant to all gasses on the pipe fitting. Tighten fitting to gas supply and connector flare nut securely.

Note: pipe joint compound should not be used on flare fitting connections.

d. Connect the flex connector flare nut to the sideburner manifold elbow flare fitting. Be sure to tighten securely. Use a second wrench to suppor t the manifold to avoid damaging the manifold.

e. Check all gas connections for leaks with a brush and soapy water solution before lighting. NEVER

USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME

TO TEST FOR LEAKS.

f. Lower the unit into the enclosure.

Figure 3

3. POSITIONING THE BURNER

CAP AND GRILL: Place the burner cap so it is centered over the burner. Be sure the notches in the burner cap fit over the studs protruding from the burner (see Figure 3). The burner cap and grill are coated with a high temperature porcelain finish that prevents rust and can be cleaned with oven cleaner.

SAFETY TIPS IN USING YOUR SIDEBURNER: Each time you use your sideburner, ensure that:

1. The area around the unit is clear and free from flamable

vapors, liquids and other combustable materials.

2. There is no blockage of air flow around the burner.

3. When using propane gas:

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

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

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

125° F (51° C).

4. Burner flames are burning evenly around the burner cap

with a steady flame (mostly blue with yellow tipping).

PRESERVING YOUR SIDE BURNER FOR YEARS OF

CAREFREE USE: The sideburner surfaces may be cleaned with any common acid free household cleaner.

Occasionally remove the burner cap and, if necessary, use a soft, stiff brush (an old toothbrush) to clean the ports in the burner and the underside of the burner cap.

CAUTlON: Never use acid chemicals or abrasive pads to clean porcelain or aluminum surfaces.

Do not operate the burner with the cover closed.

The valve, igniter and burner on your Fire Magic Sideburner have been pre-assembled and tested before shipping. We suggest you follow and practice these instructions for safe lighting of your Fire Magic Sideburner.

CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW A COOKING POT OR PAN TO

GET TOO CLOSE TO OR COVER, THE IGNITOR OR FLAME

ADJUSTMENT KNOBS DURING USE. OVERHEATING OF

THE KNOBS WILL OCCUR, RESULTING IN DAMAGE AND

POSSIBLE UNIT MALFUNCTION. IF THIS CAUTION IS NOT

FOLLOWED.
