BARBECUE SAFETY INFORMATION & MAINTENANCE cont.

DRIP COLLECTION SYSTEM

The drip collector in this Fire Magic Barbecue is part of the unit’s main frame, and is located below burners.Drip collector has one hole which allows excess drippings to fall through during cooking while separating firebox from 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 and Grill Cleaner, following manufacturer’s instructions, will prevent grease fires.

PREPARING THE BARBECUE FORCOOKING

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 gas unit as this may damage porcelain or cast iron components.

USE AND CARE OF YOUR FIRE MAGIC BARBECUE

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 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 FireMagicFoamingBarbecueandGrillCleaner.

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 10). Oven cleaner may be used, according to manufacture's instructions, to remove cooked-on food deposits. Special cleaningagentsandpolishingpadsrecommendedforstainless steel are available at your local barbecue dealer, hardware store or supermarket.

BURNERMAINTENANCE

Fire Magic Deluxe Select Portable Burners are constructed of heavy-duty cast stainless steel or porcelain coated cast iron 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 scalefromports. Spraycastironwithvegetableoiloccasionally to inhibit oxidation. Replace burners immediately if they show any signs of weak or thin walls. Refer to the top of page 5, 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. 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.

To maintain your stainless steel cooking grids we recommend lightly brushing the grids before use with a brass or stainless steel wire brush. After 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 grids which cause discoloration, but not permanent damage.

PORCELAIN COATED CAST IRON GRIDS

Fire Magic porcelain-finished 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.

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 cover is designed to protect the finish against scratches, corrosion and oxidation. Each cover has been cut and sewn by hand to ensure a proper fit on the Deluxe Select.
