CONVERTING THE GAS TYPE

REGULATOR CONVERSION

The gas regulator, located behind the control panel, must be set for the type of gas used to fuel the grill. To check the regulator setting, remove the cap in the center of the regulator (Fig. 31-1). Holding the cap vertical (see Fig. 31-2), the letters at the bottom of the plastic stalk indicate the gas type for which the regulator is currently conÞgured. If the bottom of the regulator stalk does not indicate the gas connected to the grill, remove the stalk from the cap, invert, and replace into center of cap. Replace cap on the regulator, screwing down until snug.

Required tools:

¥Phillips-head screwdriver (#2 medium)

¥Needle-nose pliers

¥3/8" hex nut driver (deep socket)

¥5/16" hex nut driver

CHANGING THE MAIN BURNER ORIFICES

1.Remove the cooking grid from above the burner you are working on by lifting it Þ rst from the front and set it aside.

GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION

This Fire Magic¨ grill comes from the factory conÞgured for one type of gas as marked on the label behind the control panel. When the grill is converted, this label must be replaced or updated to identify the new gas.

4.Lift the back end of the burner out of the anchor peg holes, then move the burner toward the back of the grill to clear the gas inlet and set it aside.

Fig. 31-3

Each burner has a brass oriÞce, which can be replaced and must match the gas being used. When converting the grill to a different gas, each burnerÕs oriÞ ce must be replaced with the corresponding oriÞ ce for the new gas.

5.Use a 3/8" hex nut driver to remove the exposed oriÞ ce (Fig. 31-4) and replace it with the correct oriÞ ce for the new gas. (See

Table 1 at the beginning of this document for oriÞ ce sizes.)

Natural-gas to propane-gas conversions using a tank internal to a portable grill require installation of a propane tank holder (not included) for safety and compliance with the ANSI standards referenced on the cover of this document. This tank holder must be purchased separately from the manufacturer.

6.Replace the burner by first sliding the open cylindrical end of the burner around the oriÞ ce, enveloping it and centering on it, then lower the back end anchor pegs into the anchor peg holes.

Orifice

Fig. 31-4

Consult Table 1 at the beginning of this document to determine the proper oriÞ ce sizes for each burner.

It is critical to the operation of each burner that its oriÞce be fully inserted into the center of its oriÞ ce opening.

Note: It is critical to the continued safe functioning of the burner that the oriÞ ce is centered and completely inside the burner gas conduit.

7.Reinsert the cotter pin into the right rear burner anchor peg using Þ ngers or needle-nose pliers.

WARNING

Hazardous overheating will occur if a natural-gas

orifice is used with propane gas.

CAUTION: Make sure the grill is at a safe temperature and isolated from gas and electrical supplies before beginning.

For your safety, exercise caution, and make sure you have adequate hand protection, such as gloves, when handling metal parts.

8.Replace the ß avor grid and then the cooking grid so that the cutout section of the cooking grid is lined up with the lighting tube.

Repeat these steps for each main burner.

CHANGING THE BACKBURNER ORIFICE (IF EQUIPPED)

1.Remove the warming rack if installed and set it aside.

2.Remove the backburner cover.

3.Unscrew all backburner access plate screws using a Phillips-head screwdriver and set them aside.
