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

FOLLOWALLWARNINGSPROVIDEDWITHPROPANE 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 your cylinder enclosure, you must provide adequate ventilation. This is accomplished by EITHER of the following methods. One side of the gas cylinder enclosure can be 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 on opposite walls of the enclosure. Two more openings must be at the floor level on 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 cm2) 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 cylinder.

HOUSEHOLD PROPANE GAS SERVICE

Consult your gas supplier for ventilation and regulator requirements when connecting to a HOUSEHOLD propane supply.

EXHAUST REMOVAL: When installed under a patio roof, the side burner area should be under a hood with an exhaust fan.

GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS: Rigid 1/2" black steel pipe is required to conduct the gas supply into the masonry opening for connection to the unit. Apply pipe joint compound (resistant to all gasses) to all male pipe fittings and tighten all joints securely. Do not use pipe joint com-

pound to connect 4" flare fittings. The

pipe should enter

enclosure either from bottom or

from any side at least 4" below the countertop (see Figure 1).

N O T E : A n y protrusion into the

enclosure higher than 4" below countertop will obstruct the frame and prevent the unit from dropping into place.

SAFETY NOTE: An external valve (with a removable key) in the gas line is recommended for safety.

GAS SUPPLY AND MANIFOLD PRESSURES:

For Natural Gas - normal 7" water column, minimum 5", maximum 10-1/2". For Propane Gas - normal 11" water column, minimum 8", maximum 13". A REGULA-

TOR MUST BE PROVIDED AT THE BOTTLE OR GAS SOURCE FOR USE WITH PROPANE GAS.

INSTALLINGYOUR FIRE MAGIC SIDE BURNER (BUILT-IN APPLICATION)

1.CHECKING FUEL AND PROPER ORIFICES:Your Fire Magic Sideburner is equipped with orifices for natural gas unless otherwise indicated. For propane gas, smaller orifices must be installed to avoid hazardous overheating. The orifice size for Natural Gas is #49 (drill size) and for Propane Gas, the orifice size is #56 (drill size). Check the orifice size by removing the burner cap (Item#9F) and the venturi tube (Item #9C) and looking down through the hole in the center (see Figure 2 for the location of the orifice). The drill size is stamped on the orifice. If the number is not visible you may have to remove the orifice (as detailed below) in order to read the number stamped on the side of the orifice.

To remove or change an orifice, you need a 3/8" nut driver or small wrench. Loosen the orifice using the nut

2.CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY TO YOUR FIRE MAGlC SIDEBURNER:

a. The burner manifold has a 3/8” male flare fitting gas inlet elbow. A 3/8" female flare fitting connector nut is required to hook the gas supply to the burner.

b. Use a stainless steel flex connector to bring the gas supply from the gas line stub or propane gas tank to the sideburner manifold. A 3/8" x 24" or 36" flex connector is suitable for most installations.

CAUTION: Use only a C.S.A. listed stainless steel flex connector. Do not use a rubber hose or plastic hose within the enclosure for your sideburner, it will leak resulting in an explosion and/or serious injury.

NOTE: For installation in a portable barbecue cart, see the installation instructions packed with the sideburner shelf and connector kit. Also refer to the portable cart instruction section for attaching shelves.

c. Be sure the gas supply is 'OFF'. Connect the pipe adapter fitting supplied with the flex connector to the gas supply stub. Use pipe joint compound which is resistant to all gasses on the pipe fitting. Tighten fitting to gas supply and connector flare nut securely.

Note: pipe joint compound should not be used on flare fitting connections.
