Complete Disassembly for Cleaning (or access to Piezo Igniter)
1 - Remove entire grill body from L-Bracket of Mount.
2 - Unthread and remove burner, fire pan and grease pan from outer bowl.
3 - To inspect piezo igniter, remove single screw from inside of outer bowl to release igniter box
and carefully inspect for corrosion or loose wire connection.
4 - To reassemble, reverse above steps and steps 6 through 9 from page 3 “Setting Up Your Grill”.
Stainless Steel, contrary to popular belief, can rust. Most commonly, deposits on the surface of the
product will trap moisture. It is this moisture that robs the stainless steel of oxygen. Oxygen is the
element that reacts with the stainless steel to form a protective layer of chrome oxide. Robbed of
oxygen this reaction does not take place and “crevice corrosion”, or “surface rusting”, occurs. To
minimize this effect, thoroughly clean your grill with soap and water, rinse with fresh water and dry.
Avoid using products designed to clean stainless steel as most leave a residue that may discolor when
the grill is heated.
Additionally, stainless steel that is exposed to high heat will change in color and texture over time.
This “bluing” and later “browning” of the internal components is not a failure of the stainless steel and
will not affect the product operation. However, prolonged exposure to extreme high heat will cause
the chromium and nickel to “burn out” of the stainless steel. At this point the stainless steel will
become more susceptible to corrosion and will start to deteriorate. We recommend that you replace
these internal components if they become seriously deteriorated.
We recommend thorough cleaning of all internal parts after each outing. It is important to
disassemble the interior components and remove any food residue. A soft “Scothbrite” pad or similar
product may be used in this process. For heavier burned-on stains we recommend “Easy-Off Oven &
Grill Cleaner” followed by thorough washing with soap and water, rinse with fresh water and dry.
AVOID CONTACT OF OVEN CLEANER WITH CONTROL VALVE, IGNITER ELECTRODE & WIRE, AND
BOAT SURFACES. CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF ABRASIVE PAD ON THE EXTERIOR MIRROR
FINISH AS IT WILL SCRATCH THE SURFACE. USE ONLY A SOFT COTTON CLOTH. We recommend
covering the grill between uses. Grill covers are available at Magma retailers or directly from Magma.

Grill Grates
Clean with brass wire brush while grill is warm. Use Oven & Grill cleaner for burnt-on residue. Wash
with soapy water and dry prior to storage.
Ceramic Electrode
Located just beside the burner, it should be kept clean of grease and debris. Burner ground strap
must be directly over the electrode for proper operation, be careful not to damage the ceramic
insulation or the wire.
Control Valve
All valves are set and tested at our factory. Do not attempt to adjust or disassemble the valve. Call
Magma if you suspect it is not adjusted properly. Clean valve with a cloth and remove any debris
obstructing the orifice.
Repair/Replacement Parts
All replacement parts are readily available at your Magma Retailers or directly from Magma. For a
