1. CHECK BARBECUE FUEL ORIFICE SIZE
Deluxe Select Portable Barbecues are equipped with fuel
orifices for natural gas, unless otherwise indicated. To
use with propane gas, you must install smaller orifices
to avoid hazardous overheating.
The proper orifice size for Natural Gas is #47 (drill size).
The proper orifice size for Propane Gas is #55 (drill size).
SAFE USE & MAINTENANCE OF PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS cont’d.
QUICK COUPLER OPERATION
To connect the regulator/hose assembly to the L.P. gas
cylinder valve fitting: Press the hand nut on the regulator
over the acme thread fitting on the cylinder valve. Turn the
hand nut clockwise to engage the threads and tighten until
snug. The use of pliers or wrench should not be necessary.
To disconnect: Turn the hand nut counterclockwise until
detached. (Figure 2A).
Important: Before using the barbecue and after each time
the cylinder is removed and reattached, check all connections
for leaks. Turn off the barbecue valves and open the main
cylinder valve, then check connections with soapy water.
Repair any leaks before lighting the barbecue.
CAUTION: Always turn the propane cylinder main valve off
after each use and before moving the barbecue and cylinder
or disconnecting the coupling. This valve must remain closed
while the appliance is not in use, even though the gas flow is
stopped by a safety feature when the coupler is disconnected.
Carefully inspect the hose assembly each time before the
gas is turned on. A cracked or frayed hose should be replaced
immediately.
If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be
disconnected and removed. Cylinders must be stored out
of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building,
garage or any other enclosed area.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
a. DO NOT store a spare propane gas cylinder under
or near this appliance.
b. NEVER fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
c. IF THE INFORMATION IN “A” AND “B” IS NOT
FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE CAUSING DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.
CYLINDER AND CONNECTOR REQUIREMENTS AND
SPECIFICATIONS
a. Propane gas cylinders and valves must be maintained in
good condition and must be replaced if there is visible damage
to either the cylinder or valve.
b. This barbecue, when used with a cylinder, should be
connected to a standard 5 gallon (20lb.) Propane gas cylinder
equipped with an OPD (Overfill Prevention Device). The OPD
has been required on all cylinders sold since October 1,1998
to prevent overfilling.
c. Cylinder dimensions should be approximately 12 inches in
diameter and 18 inches high. Cylinders must be constructed
and marked in accordance with the specifications for Propane
Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T)
or National Standard of Canada,CAN/ CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods.
d. The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder
valve and the cylinder supply system must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal.
e. Pressure regulator and hose assembly (Figure 2A) supplied
with this outdoor cooking gas appliance must be used. Original
and replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies must
be those specified by Robert H. Peterson Co. for connection
with a cylinder connecting device identified as Type I by the
Harmonized Standard ANSI Z 21.58 and CGA 1.6-M95-1995
with Addenda ANSI Z 21.58a -1998 and CGA 1.6a - M98.
f. Propane gas cylinder valve must be equipped with a cylinder
connection coupling device, described as Type I in
Harmonized ANSI standard defined in paragraph e. above.
This is described as an Acme Thread Quick Coupler.
g. Your propane gas cylinder may be equipped with a Type II
Quick Disconnect (plug-in) Coupler (Figure 2B). An approved
regulator /hose assembly for this type of coupling is available
through your dealer from R.H. Peterson Co.

2. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT
BARBECUE BURNER ORIFICE SIZE
a. Remove the air shutter access panel, located under
the right side rigid shelf (see Parts List)
b. Release with a screwdriver and remove one of the
stainless steel hold down clips which are holding down
the back end of each burner.
c. Check the orifice size by lifting the burner up off of
the back side of the unit and pulling it away from the
orifice. The orifice can be easily removed with a 3/8” hex
screwdriver. The drill size is stamped on the face of each
orifice. Be sure not to lose the air shutter or air shutter
spring which will become detached when the burner is
removed.
d. Change all orifices if necessary, following instructions
provided with the replacement orifices (furnished with
all Fire Magic Gas Barbecues).
e. After checking orifice drill size, install the air shutter
spring and the air shutter over the orifice holder fitting,
between the burner and the heat shield, in the order and
position shown in (Figure 3).
