REATTACHING THE FACE & IGNITOR WIRES
Pull the Drip Tray out far enough to
support the Face in the vertical
position. Lean the Face forward and
plug the 2 wires into the terminals
on the Spark Generator (Figure 11).
The wires can be plugged into either
terminal.
IMPORTANT: Test the Electrodes
for spark before securing the Face to
the frame (see Page 12 for Battery Replacement). Place the
Face on the Frame so the Front Lip of the Face covers the lip
on the frame.
ADJUSTING THE FLAME HEIGHT
The large knobs on the Face of the Barbecue control the Valves
and adjust flame height. The first position is “High,” the second
“Medium” and the final “Low.” Flame height can also be set
anywhere between the High, Medium and Low settings for all
cooking requirements and methods.
Height of the flame with the valve in low position may be
regulated by means of a small adjusting screw in the center of
the valve stem. This screw is accessible by removing the
plastic valve knob which pulls straight off the end of the valve
stem.
After burning for 2 minutes, open the Air Shutters until the
flames lift off, or appear not to be touching the Burners. Then
begin closing the Air Shutters until the flames appear to burn
while touching the Burner Ports (Figure 9). You may then see
short yellow tips on the flames. If flames are a lazy yellow,
open the Air Shutters until the flame is blue with yellow tipping.
NOTE: Barbecues in some installations achieve a better air/
gas mixture and will ignite more quickly if the valve is first
turned beyond High to Medium or Low for lighting.
ADJUSTING YOUR BARBECUE
IMPORTANT: This appliance may not light or heat evenly
or cook properly unless the Air Shutters are adjusted
following installation (See "Air Shutter Adjustment" below).
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
The Air Shutters are located at the front of the Burners behind
the Face and Heat Shield (see Parts List)Burner Air Shutters
and are easily accessed by removing the Front Panel (Face)
and Heat Shield. Close the air shutters by turning the tabs to a
vertical position. (Figure 9). Light your Barbecue in accordance
with the lighting instructions (page 6) and burn for 2 minutes
with the valves on high and the oven open.

IMPORTANT: It is normal for the Backburner to smoke when
it is burned for the first time. Burning your Backburner on high
for approximately 15 minutes will eliminate the smoking.
BACKBURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
a. The Air Shutter on your Backburner is preset at the factory.
However, due to atmospheric conditions and different gas
pressures, it may be necessary to adjust the Air Shutter to
obtain a proper burn.
b. First remove the Backburner cover, then loosen the Air
Shutter screw (See Fig. 10). It may be necessary to use
pliers to turn the Air Shutter. Light the Backburner. With the
control knob on "HIGH" adjust the Air Shutter to have a blue
flame that is not lifting off the Burner (It may also have slightly
yellow tips).
c. Tighten the Air Shutter adjustment screw.
5. INSTALL THE FLAVOR GRIDS
Place the Flavor Grid directly on the Burners centering the
Grids over the Burners with the open side up (Fig 12). This
allows heat from the Burners to be evenly distributed through-
out the cooking area. Fire Magic Flavor Grids are Stainless
Steel and will heat and cool quickly, making your Barbecue
very responsive to the changes you specify in grill temperature.
They are rust resistant and may be cleaned with standard oven
cleaners.
