BARBECUE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
Every time you use your Barbecue, make sure that:
1. The area around the Barbecue is clear of
flammable substances such as gasoline, yard
debris, wood, etc.
2. There is no blockage of the air flow through the
vent space located below the Face of the unit.
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. The Burner flames burn evenly along both sides
of each Burner with a steady flame (mostly blue
with yellow tipping). See Air Shutter Adjustment.
If Burner flames are not normal, check the orifice
and Burner for insects or insect nests (see pg. 4-
Checking Fuel Orifices).
5. The Drip Collector holes are clear and unobstructed.
Excessive grease deposits can result in a grease
fire.
6. The in-line gas valve or gas cylinder valve is always
shut off when the Barbecue is not in use.
DRIP COLLECTION SYSTEM
The Drip Collector in this Fire Magic Barbecue is part
of the unit’s main frame, and is located below the
Burners. The Drip Collector has three holes which allow
excess drippings to fall through during cooking while
separating the firebox from the drip tray.
The Drip Collector allows you to brush or scrape residue
from the Barbecue inner liner into the Drip Tray. Regular
cleaning of your Barbecue interior with oven cleaner
or Fire Magic Foaming Barbecue and Grill Cleaner,
will prevent grease fires.
PREPARING THE BARBECUE FOR COOKING
To extend the life of your Fire Magic Barbecue, follow
these steps prior to cooking:
1. Begin by heating the unit at a normal cooking
temperature for several minutes.
2. Then open the Control Valves to the “High” setting
to burn off residue remaining from prior use.
3. When the Barbecue has heated sufficiently, set
heat to the desired cooking level.
4. When using a smoke oven, closing the cover
during the preheat period will accelerate the
preparation process. Do not operate unattended
at High Flame as cooking temperatures will quickly
be exceeded.
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
Barbecue as this may damage the unit.
USE AND CARE OF YOUR BARBECUE
FLAVOR FROM WOOD CHIPS OR CHARCOAL
Convenient Fire Magic Gourmet Grilling Chips are
sold in several different popular wood types. These
chips are pre-moistened and sealed in cans which can
be opened, by lifting the tabbed lid, before placing the
entire can on the Flavor Grid to add natural wood
smoke flavor to the food you grill. There is no mess to
clean up. Just discard the can of ashes after there is
no longer any wood smoke aroma.
You may also add wood chips, wood chunks or the
natural wood charcoal of your choice to the Flavor
Grid. We recommend placing wood outside the direct
cooking zone or wrapping it in perforated aluminum
foil. Soaking wood before use will slow burning and
increase smoke flavor. Wood and charcoal ash will
remain in the Flavor Grid after use. The Grid can be
easily removed and cleaned when the unit has fully
cooled.
CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS
If your Barbecue has a stainless steel oven and front
panel, the following care instructions will keep your unit
looking and working like new. Stainless steel
components are constructed of the finest prime grade
type 304 stainless steel. Meticulous attention has
been given to maintain the attractive finish throughout
the manufacturing process. Like the stainless steel
used in commercial kitchens, your Barbecue requires
regular cleaning and occasional buffing to maintain its
bright, clean appearance.
Deposits of dirt and grease can be removed easily with
Fire Magic Foaming Barbecue and Grill Cleaner.
Deposits should be removed before they are allowed
to bake onto the finish. To remove more stubborn
deposits, use a scouring pad recommended for stainless
steel. Be sure to always rub in the direction of the
polishing lines (Figure 6). Oven cleaner may be used,
according to manufacture's instructions, to remove
