BARBECUE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

SAFETY INFORMATION

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.
