INSTALL THE FLAVOR GRIDS

Place the Flavor Grid directly on the Burners, making sure thelegs (see Figure 10) rest on the burners. Center the Grids overthe Burners with the open side up. This allows heat from the

Burners to be evenly distributed throughout the cooking area.Fire Magic Flavor Grids are Stainless Steel and will heat andcool quickly, making your Barbecue very responsive to thechanges you specify in grill temperature. They are rustresistant and may be cleaned with standard oven cleaners.

ADJUSTING YOUR BARBECUE

IMPORTANT: This appliance may not light or heat evenlyor cook properly unless the Air Shutters are adjustedfollowing installation (See "Air Shutter Adjustment" below).

Burner Air Shutters are easily accessed by removing the FrontPanel (Face). The Air Shutters are located at the front of theBurners behind the Face (see Parts List). The Air Shutter hasa small dimple (see Figure 9), which allows it to lock intonotches in the burner face. This prevents the air shutter frommoving. Close the air shutters by turning the tabs to a verticalposition. (Figure 9). Light your Barbecue in accordance withthe lighting instructions (Page 10) and burn for 2 minutes withthe valves on high and the oven open.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT

After burning for 2 minutes, open the Air Shutters until theflames lift off, or appear not to be touching the Burners. Thenbegin closing the Air Shutters until the flames appear to burnwhile touching the Burner Ports (Figure 9). You may then seeshort 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 betterair/gas mixture and will ignite quicker if the valve is firstturned beyond High to Medium or Low for lighting.

Figure 10 - Spark Generator

ADJUSTING YOUR BARBECUE

REATTACHING THE FACE & IGNITOR WIRES

Pull the Drip Tray out far enough to support the Face in thevertical position. Lean the Face forward and plug the 2 wiresinto the terminals on the Spark Generator (Figure 10). Thewires can be plugged into either terminal.

IMPORTANT: Test the Electrodes for spark before securingthe Face to the frame (see Page 12 for Battery Replacement).Place the Face on the Frame so the Front Lip of the Facecovers the lip on the frame.

ADJUSTING THE FLAME HEIGHT

The large knobs on the Face of the Barbecue control the Valvesand adjust flame height. The first position is “High,” the second“Medium” and the final “Low.” Flame height can also be setanywhere between the High, Medium and Low settings for allcooking requirements and methods.

Height of the flame with a valve in low position may be furtherregulated by means of a small adjusting screw in the center ofthe valve stem. This screw is accessible by removing theplastic valve knob which pulls straight off the end of the valvestem.

Using Your Optional Backburner

Rotisserie cooking with the Backburner is accomplished withoutuse of the main grill Burners. The cooking grids are removedand if large cuts are to be barbecued, the Flavor grids may beremoved to allow more clearance from the spit rod to the firebox. Aluminum Foil or a baking pan may be placed over themain Burners to catch excess drippings from your cooking.

a. Remove the Backburner cover. (Figure 18)

b. Place your meat on the rotisserie spit rod. Make sure it iscentered on the spit. Refer to the instructions provided withyour Fire Magic Rotisserie and counter balance.

c. Follow the lighting instructions on page10

d. Allow the Backburner to preheat for approximately 10minutes on "HIGH" setting.

e. Place the spit rod with the meat into the rotisserie and turnon the motor.

f. Use a standard roasting guide to estimate the length of timefor your meat. A meat thermometer may also be used to tellwhen your favorite cuts are cooked to your liking. When testingtemperatures with a thermometer, turn off the rotisserie motorand turn the Backburner on "Low". This will keep the meat fromover cooking on one side

g. Operate your Backburner with the oven closed. This willsimulate an oven effect and help your meat cook faster. Theconstant rotation of the spit assures even cooking and maximumretention of juices.

h. On large cuts of meat or whole turkeys, it may be necessaryto reduce the heat from your Backburner. Cooking your food atlower temperature for a longer period will keep the outer surfacefrom burning, while cooking the interior of your food thoroughly. `

FEATURES AND ACCESSORIES

SMOKER TRAY (WOODCHIP BOX)

Your optional Backburner is supplied with a woodchip box (seeParts list Page 5). The woodchip box is designed to sit on topof the Backburner assembly on the heat deflector. This box isdesigned to be used when the Backburner is in use. To use thebox, just fill it with your favorite woodchips and set it in place.If you wish to refill the woodchip box when it is hot, you maycarefully handle it using a pair of pliers. You must be verycautious not to get burned.

FLAVOR FROM WOOD CHIPS OR CHARCOAL

Convenient Grilling Chips* are sold in several different popularwood types. These chips are pre-moistened and sealed incans. To use follow the instructions on the side of the can.After use there is no mess to clean up, just discard the can ofashes after there is no longer any wood smoke aroma. GrillingChips* may be purchased through your local dealer.

You may also add wood chips, wood chunks or the naturalwood charcoal of your choice to the Flavor Grid. We recommendplacing wood outside the direct cooking zone or wrapping it inperforated aluminum foil. Soaking wood before use will slowburning and increase smoke flavor. Wood and charcoal ashwill remain in the Flavor Grid after use. The Grid can be easilyremoved and cleaned when the unit has fully cooled.
