MAINTENANCE
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. See our website,

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. Be careful not
to damage the ceramic insulation or the wire. See page 5 for electrode spark adjustment.
Control Valve -
All valves are set and tested at our factory. Do not attempt to adjust or disassemble the valve in
any way. 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 complete list of replacement parts visit our website
