OPERATING PROCEDURES
OPERATE ONLY ON “LOW” WHEN LID IS CLOSED.
ALWAYS OPERATE WITH GREASE TRAY IN PLACE.
WARNING: Do not overheat grill. Magma Grills do not require pre-heating. Stainless Steel loses
anti-corrosive characteristics when subjected to extreme heat. Most grilling is done on low tem-
perature with the lid closed. If medium or high heat is required, grill with lid open.
Note:
The Infrared Screens, as they are heated, may rise slightly causing the grill grates to also rise.
This is normal and when fully heated they will return to their original position.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
• Open lid during lighting.
• Depress knob and rotate counter-clockwise to the “HIGH” flame position.
• Push Piezo Igniter. • Visually confirm ignition. • Turn knob to adjust flame.
• If grill does not light, adjust electrode until proper spark appears (see page 5).
• If the piezo ignition continues to fail to ignite the gas, see MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTE:
Before lighting, lid lock must be positioned not to engage. Open lid and turn lock to
locked position.
MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
(Back up system allows use of grill until piezo ignition system is repaired.)
• Open lid during lighting. • Place flame up to burner through the match light hole.
• Depress valve and turn counter-clockwise to the “HIGH” flame position.
• Visually confirm ignition.
TO REDUCE FLARE-UP
• Empty and clean grease tray prior to each use. • Trim excess fats from meat.
• Use non-oil based marinades. • Reduce heat. • Use water spray directly on flare-ups.
Note:
The intense heat of our Infrared Grills will immediately vaporize the food drippings and cause
more smoke than other types of grills, which infuses a wonderful smoky flavor into the grilled food.
Periodic cleaning of the infrared screens in required to maintain optimum performance and reduce
flare-up on the screens. Heavy debris buildup will deprive the grill of oxygen creating blowout issues.
FOLDING LEGS (DO NOT USE LEGS ON BOAT)
For storage, transport or while using other mounting options. Fold up back legs first, then front
legs (as shown). If legs become loose they can be tightened with a 5/32” Hex Key Wrench.
PRACTICAL HINTS:
Before lighting your grill, be sure that …
• Grill is secure and properly mounted • Internal components and grease tray are clean and
correctly positioned. • You have plenty of gas in the canister. • Gas canister is attached
properly and there are no gas leaks. • Lid lock has been set not to engage.
• You have a water spray bottle handy to cool a hot grill or stop any flare-ups.
STOWING TIPS
• Always disconnect the fuel canister from the valve prior to stowing.
• Stow the valve in a clean, dry area to protect from corrosion to valve.
• Always store propane in a sealed propane storage locker that allows leakage to vent overboard
or use
Magma Propane Storage Locker/Tote Bag.
Never stow below decks
