OPERATING PROCEDURES
GETTING READY TO COOK
• If possible, position grill lid to block the wind.
• Remove the three grill grates and expose lower charcoal grill.
• Fill Magma “Charcoal Starter” (#A10-150) with briquets, or
spread out two handfuls
(maximum 21 briquets)
on the lower
charcoal grill, then soak the briquets with lighter fluid per can instructions.
• Wait one minute before igniting. Then, preferably, use a long nozzle butane lighter to light the briquets.
• When briquets are ready, spread the hot briquets evenly across the lower charcoal grill.
• Replace the three grill grates.
• Now you're ready to cook on your Magma grill!.
NOTE:
The Magma “Charcoal Starter” helps makes
handling of coals safe and simple.
WARNING: Do not overheat the grill. Stainless steel is a strong and long lasting material,
but like any metal, extreme heat can cause damage and discoloration.
SAFETY
• Use outdoors in ventilated area, clearance from combustibles 24 inches (61 cm).
• When operating grill, never leave unattended.
• Use glove or hot pad when handling hot grill.
• Always keep a fresh water spray bottle handy to reduce heat and flare-ups.
•
CAUTION:
Excessive flare-ups will continue if the grill is too hot. To cool grill, spray fresh water on
flare-ups until cool.
• When using lighter fluid read instructions and safety precautions on lighter fluid container.
STOWING
• After grill is cool, clean out ashes and remove grill from mount and stow.
MAINTENANCE
• Clean grill regularly for best performance.
• Clean all metal parts with oven cleaner per oven cleaner instructions.
CAUTION:
Do not use steel wool or
abrasive cleaners.
• Clean all other parts with mild detergent and water.
COOKING TIPS
• Always cook with lid on.
• Timing is very important. Make sure food is prepared before lighting the grill so cooking is completed
while the briquets are still hot.
• The grill becomes hotter while cooking. Frequent checks should be made during cooking until familiar
with grill.
• To reduce flare-ups, use lean cuts of meat, trim excessive fat or skin, and avoid oil based marinades.
• If flare-ups occur, reduce heat with fresh water spray bottle, and move food away from flare-up.
• For larger cuts of meat or delicate items, use aluminum foil between food & grill to deflect direct heat.
• Lubricate cooking grill with olive oil to keep food from sticking.
