BARBECUE SAFETY INFORMATION & MAINTENANCE
Each 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” below. If Burner flames are not normal, check the orifice and Burner for insects or insect nests (see Pg.4, Sect. 2, for Burner removal and replacement).
5.The Drip Collector hole is clear and unobstructed. Excessive grease deposits can result in a grease fire.
6.The
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 one hole which allows 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 & Grill Cleaner*, following manufacturers instructions, will prevent grease fires.
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.
