b. Make sure that your gas supply is turned 'OFF'. Then connect the 1/2" pipe adapter fitting supplied with the stainless steel flex connector to the gas supply stub. Use pipe joint compound that is resistant to all gasses on the male pipe fitting and tighten securely. Do not use pipe joint compound to connect the flare fittings.
c. Lower your barbecue into place, making sure not to pinch or kink the gas connector. The unit may be supported above the counter by blocks inserted under the flanges at each side of the frame (Figure 4).
d. If the pipe does not come up against the front wall, it can easily be run along the enclosure floor and turned up to rise within 5" of the counter top, tight against the front wall (leaving space only to connect fittings).
e.Connect the flex connector to the flare fitting on the manifold inlet. Support the manifold inlet fitting with a wrench to avoid applying excessive torque to the manifold assembly while tightening this connection securely. Do not use pipe compound on flare fittings.
Make sure the barbecue burner valve is in the 'OFF' position. Turn the gas supply on. Then carefully check all gas connections for leaks with a brush and soapy water before lighting. NEVER USE A MATCH OR
OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS.

INSTALL THE FLAVOR GRID
Place the flavor grid directly on the burners (Figure 5). Center the grid over the burners with the open side up. This allows heat from the burners to be evenly distributed throughout the cooking area. The flavor grid heats and cools quickly, making your Fire Magic Barbecue very responsive to the changes you specify in grill temperature.
The flavor grid is made of stainless steel and is rust resistant. It may be cleaned with standard oven cleaners.
ADJUSTING YOUR BARBECUE
IMPORTANT: This barbecue will not light and will not heat evenly or cook properly unless the air shutters are adjusted following installation (reference 'Air Shutter Adjustment', below).
The burner air shutters are controlled by the two wire levers at the far right side of the cooking grill (Figure 6). Light the barbecue in accordance with the manual lighting instructions found on page 8 and burn for 5 minutes with the valves on 'HIGH' and the oven open.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
After burning for 5 minutes, open the air shutters until the flames lift off, or appear not to be touching the burners. Then begin closing the air shutters until the flames appear to burn while touching the burner ports (Figure 7B). You may then see short yellow tips on the flames. If flames are a lazy yellow, open the air shutters until the flame is blue with yellow tipping.

NOTE: Barbecues in some installations achieve a better air/gas mixture and will ignite more quickly if the valve is first turned beyond High to Medium or Low for lighting.
ADJUSTING THE FLAME
The barbecue valve is fully adjustable to any position between 'HIGH' and 'LOW'. The first position is High, the second Medium and the final Low. Flame height can also be set anywhere between the High, Medium, and Mow settings for all cooking requirements and tastes.
Height of the flame with the valve in low position may be regulated by means of a small adjusting screw in the center of the valve stem. This screw is accessible by removing the plastic valve knob which pulls straight off the end of the valve stem.
