EXHAUST REMOVAL
If installed under a patio roof, the cooking grid area should be fully covered by a chimney and exhaust hood. An exhaust fan with a rating of at least 1000 CFM may be necessary to efficiently remove smoke and other cooking
GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS:
Rigid ½" black steel pipe is required to conduct the gas supply into the barbecue enclosure for connection to the unit. Pipe joint compound which is resistant to all gases should be applied to all male fittings and all joints tightened securely. Do not use pipe joint compound to connect flare fittings.
The pipe should terminate near the front and center of the enclosure, no more than 5" from the counter top. Installation will be simplified if the pipe enters the enclosure vertically from the bottom, at least 6" in from each side and within 8" of the front wall (Figure 1).
SAFETY NOTE: An external valve in the gas line is necessary for safety when your barbecue is not in use. It also provides for convenient maintenance and repair. A removable key is recommended.
GAS SUPPLY AND MANIFOLD PRESSURE:
For Natural Gas - Normal 7" w.c. (Water Column), Minimum 3 1/2", Maximum 10 1/2"
For Propane Gas - Normal 11" w.c., Minimum 8", Maximum 13"

INSTALLING YOUR FIRE MAGIC DELUXE DROP-IN BARBECUE
Perform the following checks before installing your barbecue:
CHECK BARBECUE FUEL ORIFICE SIZE
Fire Magic Barbecues are equipped with orifices for natural gas unless otherwise indicated. For use with propane gas, smaller orifices must be installed to avoid hazardous overheating. The orifice size for Natural Gas is #47 (drill size) and for Propane Gas, the orifice size is #55 (drill size).
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT BARBECUE BURNER ORIFICE SIZE
a. Remove the cooking grids and flavor grid from your barbecue.
b. If the gas supply has been connected, make sure the burner valve is in the 'OFF' position. Then pull the knobs from their stems. Use a phillips screwdriver to turn the face fastener screws counterclockwise to release the face and remove it from the barbecue. Make sure to retain the screws and finish washers until you are ready to reattach the face.
Note: Carefully lift the face away from the frame.The spark generators for the ignition system are attached to the inside of the face panel. The spark generator need not be detached, but the wires must be unplugged from the generators before the face is removed.
c. Using a flat blade screwdriver, pry the burner retaining clip from rear wall of the barbecue frame (see Figure 3). Remove the burner by; 1) Pulling it to the front of the barbecue, 2) Lift the far end out of the notch, 3) Pull the burner away from the manifold, taking care not to lose air shutter and spring, which may become detached when the burner is removed.
d. Using a 3/8" socket, remove orifice from the orifice holder on the burner manifold and check the number stamped on the face (see barbecue fuel orifice size above). Repeat for each burner as necessary.
e. If your barbecue is not orificed for the gas supply you plan to use, replace them with the orifices supplied with the barbecue or orifices supplied by your local dealer.
f. After checking orifice drill size or replacing the orifice, install the air shutter spring and the air shutter over the orifice holder fitting, between the burner and the burner manifold, in the order and position shown in Figure 3.
g. Replace the burners in the holding groove, ensuring that the brass orifice and orifice holder fittings project deeply into the burners. Replace the burner retaining clips.
CONNECTTHE GAS SUPPLYTO BARBECUE
a. You will need a C.S.A. approved stainless steel flex connector to bring the gas supply from the gas line stub to the valve manifold. A 1/2" x 24" flex stainless steel connector is suitable for most installations. A 1/2" female flare fitting is required to connect to the unit. Only listed stainless steel connectors should be used to connect the barbecue to the gas line inside the enclosure.
CAUTION: Use only stainless steel flex connectors that are C.S.A. listed.
WARNING: A rubber or plastic connector will rupture or leak, resulting in an explosion or serious injury if used inside the barbecue enclosure.
