USE AND CARE OF YOUR FIRE MAGIC 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

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 9). Oven cleaner may be

used, according to manufacturer's instructions, to remove cooked-on food deposits. Special cleaning agents and polishing pads recommended for stainless

steel are available at your local barbecue dealer, hardware store or supermarket.

Figure 9 - Always rub with the grain

CAUTION: Never use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes on stainless steel. Tiny particles left behind may rust and stain the finish. Abrasive pads recommended for restoring the grain in stainless steel will, over a period of time, scratch or dull the surface of glass or porcelain-coated products.

BURNER MAINTENANCE

Fire Magic Burners are constructed of heavy-duty cast stainless steel (cast brass and porcelainized cast iron burners are also available) and will withstand many years of outdoor use, if ordinary precautions are taken. Once or twice a year inspect the burners and determine if scale is building up excessively. Burners can be removed and scraped to remove debris or scale from ports. Spray cast iron with vegetable oil occasionally to inhibit oxidation. Replace burners immediately if they show any signs of weak or thin walls. Refer to the bottom of page 4, Figure 3 for installing burners.

STAINLESS STEEL COOKING GRIDS

Fire Magic Stainless Steel Cooking Grids are finished with a special matte (satin) finish. This special matte- finish provides a more stick-resistant cooking surface that makes outdoor barbecuing easy and enjoyable. And, because it is made of type 304 stainless steel, you'll enjoy a lifetime of outdoor cooking. For best cooking performance, follow the simple steps of 'Care and Maintenance' after every use. Fire Magic Stainless Steel Cooking Grids are warranted for as long as you own them.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE (Stainless Steel Grids)

To maintain your stainless steel cooking grids we recommend lightly brushing the grids after use with a brass or stainless steel wire brush. Before use, brush again if necessary and spray a light coat of vegetable oil over the cooking surface. Discoloration or stubborn food particles can be removed with a heavy-duty abrasive or stainless steel scouring pad. Grills can also be washed in an automatic dishwasher or cleaned with strong cleaning solutions, including oven cleansers. We do not recommend ordinary steel or wire brushes, which may leave tiny metal particles on the grids which cause discoloration, but not permanent damage.

PORCELAIN COATED CAST IRON GRIDS

Fire Magic Porcelain-Coated Cast-Iron Grids are coated with a special high-temperature porcelain in a matte (satin) finish. This special matte-finish porcelain coating provides a stick-resistant cooking surface that makes outdoor barbecuing easy and enjoyable. And, because it resists corrosion, the finish also increases cooking grid durability to provide years of cooking enjoyment. For best cooking performance, the wide side of the grid bars should face up.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE (Porcelain Coated)

A spray coat of vegetable oil and light brushing with a brass grid brush before and after use is all it takes to maintain cooking readiness and ensure long life.

PROTECTING PARTS AND FINISH

Barbecue covers will protect the finish and extend the life and appearance of Fire Magic Barbecues equipped with smoke ovens. The covers are designed to protect the finish against scratches, corrosion and oxidation. Each cover has been cut and sewn by hand to fit a particular smoke oven model. Flaps extend from the sides and back. In windy areas, place weights on the flaps or inside the sleeve on the flaps to keep the cover from blowing off.
