PLANNING FOR INSTALLATION OF THE DELUXE DROP-IN BARBECUE
WHERE TO INSTALL
YOUR BARBECUE
Fire Magic Barbecues are designed
for outdoor use only.
WARNING: Drop-in models must be installed in
masonry or other type of fireproof surroundings. This
unit is not insulated and must be installed with a
clearance from combustible materials of 18" on the
sides and the back. This appliance shall not be located
under overhead unprotected combustible construction.
With our insulating liner (Deluxe Drop-In - Part#
3200-50) you can safely install your Fire Magic Barbecue
in a wood cabinetry, stucco or other combustible
enclosure.
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.
INSTALLER NOTE: This barbecue must be installed
so that it can be removed in the event service should
be necessary. Any protrusion into the barbecue
enclosure from either side, which is less than 11 1/4"
from the counter top, may obstruct the frame and
prevent the unit from dropping into place (see "Gas
Supply Plumbing Requirements", on page 4).
INSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
COOLING AIR FLOW
The ½" vent space between the top panel of the unit
and the counter top must be left clear with cork mounting
pads resting on counter top. Blockage of air flow
causes overheating and poor combustion. Vent screen,
part # 3200-61, is provided to cover this opening (see
vent screen installation on page 6).
VENTILATION OF ENCLOSURES
When using propane gas, take EXTREME CAUTION
to ensure ample ventilation of gas vapor. Propane gas
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 is then ignited.
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 the cylinder enclosure, you must
provide adequate ventilation. This is accomplished by
EITHER one side of the gas cylinder enclosure 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
at opposite walls of the enclosure. Two more openings
must be at the floor level at 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 gas
cylinder.
IMPORTANT: Read additional requirements for safe
use of propane gas and gas cylinders below.
HOUSEHOLD PROPANE GAS SERVICE
Consult your gas supplier for ventilation and regulator
requirements when connecting to a HOUSEHOLD
propane supply.
Note: Only Fire Magic Barbecue models with the suffix
-PA- in the model number are approved by C.S.A. for
self contained propane cylinders. Supplemental
instructions are supplied with each self contained unit.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
Electrical outlets in the vicinity of the barbecue, which
might be used for rotisserie motors or other appliances,
must be properly grounded.
Installer and User Note: Keep electrical supply cords
away from all heated surfaces.
