Installation
GAS CONNECTION
An adequate gas supply is required for proper broiler
performance. With all burners on “HIGH”, the manifold
pressure should not show any appreciable drop.
Fluctuations of more than 25% will create pilot problems
and affect burner operation.
WARNING!!
This unit must be connected ONLY to the type
of gas specified on the rating plate.
1. Remove the hairpin clips securing the burners. This
will allow for removal of the burners for inspection,
cleaning and servicing.
2. Attach the regulator supplied with the unit. The
regulator must be installed at the entry end of the gas
manifold.
NOTE: Be sure the regulator is installed so that the
gas flows in the same direction as the
arrow on the bottom of the regulator. Use
the supplied regulator only. Use of any
other regulator will invalidate the
warranty.
3. Adjust the regulator to the burner pressure listed on
the rating plate. Refer to the table on the following
page for proper pressure settings.
NOTE: A pressure regulator is not required for all
countries.
4. Use pipe joint compound suitable for use with LP
gas on all threaded connections.
5. Turn off all burner valves.
6. Turn on the gas supply. Check all connections for
gas leaks using soap and water. Never use an open
flame to check for gas leaks!
GAS CONVERSION
All units are shipped with the appropriate orifices and
components required for the gas requested. If the unit
does not perform well or has unsatisfactory flame
characteristics (too high, yellow tips, lifting), check that
the supply pressure and orifice size are appropriate for
the gas used before making any adjustments.
Use the following directions to convert the unit to a
different type of gas if necessary. Each conversion kit
contains all the orifice sizes and markings required for
converting any size unit to any gas type in all countries.
Note that in Belgium units may not be converted. For
some conversions it may also be necessary to replace the
regulator or restrictor orifice.
NOTE: Refer to the table on the following page to
determine gas requirements, pressure settings
and orifice sizes.
1. Shut off the gas supply to the unit.
2. Disconnect the unit from the gas supply.
3. Remove the top grids, radiants, runner tubes and
burners.
4. Remove the brass runner tube orifice. Replace with
the new orifice.
5. Remove all burner orifices. Replace with the new
orifices.
6. Adjust the air shutters on all the burners to the
correct opening. Mark the air shutter at the correct
setting. Re-install the burners.
7. Re-install the runner tubes, radiants, and top grids.
8. Adjust the regulator to the correct gas pressure. If a
restrictor orifice is required in place of the regulator
to meet your countries specific codes, remove the
old restrictor orifice and replace it with a new one
correctly sized to provide the burner pressure
specified for the gas type being used.
9. Adhere the appropriate conversion sticker to the
front of the unit, near the rating plate.

Operation
Broiler Set Up
NOTE: After initial installation, the unit must be
thoroughly cleaned prior to operation. Refer to
the Maintenance section of this manual for
cleaning instructions.
Top Cooking Grid
The cooking grid has two positions, flat or tilted.
• To place the grid in the tilted position, push down on
the grid handle and pull forward to engage the grid
hook.
• To place the grid in the flat position, pull up on the
grid handle and push back to disengage the grid hook.
When broiling, the grid must be in the tilted position.
This allows some of the grease to drain into the front
trough, reducing both smoke and flare–up. The flat
position should only be used to heat soups, sauces, etc.
DO NOT use the flat position for broiling.
Radiants and Grease Shield
The radiants must be in place prior to operating the unit.
The radiants provide protection for the burners, create a
surface for the flare–up required for charbroiling and
provide radiant heat to the product.
Water Tubs
The tubs are designed to reduce flare–up and eliminate
flash back. Any flaming grease that drips down is
extinguished when it hits the water. The tubs should be ¾
full of water. NEVER allow the water tubs to run dry.
Grease Box
The majority of the grease will travel down the front
trough and into the grease box. The grease box must be
in place while operating the unit
.

Operation
General Charbroiling Tips
PREHEATING
The broiler must be preheated before cooking. We
recommend a preheat time of 10-15 minutes. After
preheating, the broiler will be hot enough to cook on
without sticking and will produce the proper searing
effect.
COOK ZONES
There are three separate cooking zones on your
MagiKitch’n charbroiler:
• The front 1/3 of the broiler is the coolest section.
• The center 1/3 of the broiler has medium heat.
• The rear 1/3 of the broiler is the hottest. (even though
it is the farthest from the burner in the tilt position)
The three cook zones enable more efficient cooking
without flame adjustment. It is possible to cook a rare,
medium and well done steak in the same amount of time
simply by placing the product in different cook zones.
The cooking process can also be slowed or increased by
moving product between zones.
FLARE–UP
In charbroiling, a certain amount of flare–up is desirable
in order to flavor the product. However, excess flare–up
burns product and leaves a bitter taste. Generally, flare–
up increases with the heat of the broiler and the fat
content of the product.
Heat Product Fat Content
High Low
High High Flare–up Moderate
Low Moderate Low Flare–up
The cook zones can be used to advantage during peak
periods. High fat product can be cooked in the cool front
section, while lean product is placed on the hotter rear
section. This allows for better control of flare–up and
product quality.

Operation
General Charbroiling Tips
MARKING PRODUCT
1. Place the product diagonally on the back 1/3 of a
clean broiler grid.
NOTE: For white fleshed product (chicken, fish) be
sure Marking product to baste the product
and brush the grid with pure vegetable oil.
2. When the product is marked, rotate it ¼ turn to
provide the diamond pattern.
NOTE: This step can be eliminated if only one line
is desired.
3. When the diamond mark is achieved, turn the food
over and move to the middle cook zone to finish
broiling. DO NOT turn the food over to the marked
side or the pattern will be marred.
NOTE: For thicker and well done products, move
the product to the front cook zone.
NOTE: Check the internal product temperature on
the unmarked side.
4. Serve the food with the pattern facing up.

2. INITIAL SET-UP
SMB 600 Series-CE models
COAL SUPPORT - The coal support must be installed so that it is pushed against the back wall
of the unit. This creates an air gap over the runner tube to allow proper ventilation.
COALS - Use only Magicoals supplied by MagiKitch’n. Do not use lava rock or other replacement
coals. They do not perform as well or last as long as the Magicoals that were designed for this
application. Place the coals evenly across the surface of the coal support. Do not pile them up.
This will cause excessive flare up, reduce ventilation, and cause overheating of the valves and
other components.
PREHEATING - It is necessary to preheat a cold broiler each time before cooking. The recommended time is 15-20 minutes for
coal style charbroilers, at which time the cooking grid should be hot enough to cook on without sticking, and will produce the
proper searing effect.
