CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 – WARNING – The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products, which are on the list of
substances, which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit
according to the use and care manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.

7Select and install appropriate Magma mount in your desired location. Prior to installing the
grill, check that mount does not easily move with a reasonable force applied.
8Next, decide if gas control valve will be easier to access from the center right side or center
left side of grill. This will be based on your placement of the mount (see picture front
cover). Now, slide L-Bracket & Clamp on to mount knurled rod so that the threaded flat
L-portion of the L-Bracket points in that direction (see above).
9Adjust threaded flat surface of L-Bracket to level position and tighten firmly with two 9/16"
or adjustable wrenches so that L-Bracket & Clamp cannot be moved. NOTE: Level positioning
is critical for even temperatures across the cooking surface.
10 Carefully hold the grill body, with the lid closed, and thread on to L-Bracket VERY TIGHT
so that grill does not unthread easily. Check that grill is tight and level prior to proceeding.

CONTROL VALVE REGULATOR
•Uses standard 1-lb. disposable propane canisters (DOT-39 NRC 228/286).
•Prior to installing valve, become familiar with the valve function and graphics on valve
knob. Never force the knob. Always turn or push gently.
•Turn control valve to “lock ” and install gas canister being careful not to cross the
threads. Check for leaks prior to use, by brushing soapy water solution around threads
and orifice hole checking for bubbles.
11 Insert the venturi tube into the threaded pipe on
the bottom of the grill body and firmly tighten the
holding nut so nut doesn't turn while rotating the
turbo venturi tube. Note: venturi tube should still
rotate freely. Venturi tube should be stowed with
valve in a clean dry environment when not in use.
(See "Stowing Tips" page 6) Before each use, prior
to inserting venturi tube, check that the threaded
pipe is free of spider web obstructions.

USING GRILL WITH ON-BOARD LPG (PROPANE) SYSTEMS
• Magma On-Board LPG (Propane)
Valves and Hose Kits allow Magma
Grills to be installed within a boats
existing on-board, pre-regulated low
pressure LPG (Propane) system.
• Use only Magma Type 3 Low
Pressure LPG (Propane) Valves.
See our Valve Application Guide
at www. MagmaProducts.com for
correct valve.
• In North America use Magma A10-225
LPG 10' Hose Kit in conjunction with
Type 3 Valve. Outside North America
check your local dealer for proper hose
and fittings.
• A primary shutoff valve (supplied with
A10-225 hose kit) must be used with
this control valve at point of connection
into your system. This allows shut off of
gas supply to hose leading to grill.

IMPORTANT!!
• DO NOT CONNECT A HIGH-PRESSURE SUPPLY HOSE
FROM A NON-REGULATED TANK DIRECTLY TO GRILL.
Magma's grills are designed for use with small disposable propane canisters or with pre-regulated low-
pressure propane and optional low-pressure valves. Running high-pressure propane fuel supply lines on a
boat is in violation of American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) guidelines and is not considered a safe
application. Additionally, impurities found in larger refillable propane tanks may clog the small orifices in
the high-pressure control valve/ regulator causing it to lose performance capabilities and eventually fail.
Regulating these tanks to 1/2 PSI and using this pre-regulated propane with the correct low-pressure valve
will insure safe, efficient performance of the grill.

OPERATING PROCEDURES
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 temperature with the lid closed. If medium or high heat is required, grill
with lid open.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
• Open lid during lighting, hang lid on side of the grill to block the wind (see 14).
• When igniting grill, use a long nozzle butane lighter.
• To ignite grill, first ignite lighter or match flame, put flame to outer edge of Radiant
Plate, then turn valve to high "large ".
• To grill, cook with lid on.
To help create your own Magma gourmet experience every time you grill,
please check these important critical points prior to lighting your grill.
• Mount is secure and grill does not move.
• Grease tray and fire pan are clean from excess drippings to reduce flare up and
ensure even air flow.
• Lid is correctly positioned to operate freely and is in best position for blocking the
wind.
• Venturi tube, burner, threaded burner pipe and valve orifice are free of obstructions,
such as spider webs.
• Radiant plate is positioned correctly.
• Grill grate is in locked position under holding clips.
• Turbo Venturi Tube holding nut is tight & doesn't turn when rotating valve position.
• Valve is installed and locked into Turbo Venturi Tube properly.
• Sufficient fuel is available.
Cooking Tips
• The most common mistake when grilling is using too high of a heat setting. Grills
become hotter as you cook, so use moderate heat settings when cooking with lid
closed.
• Always keep a water spray bottle handy for flare ups and quick cooling if grill
overheats.
• Coat the grill grate with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from sticking.
Stowing Tips
• Always disconnect the fuel canister from the valve prior to stowing.
• Stow the valve and Turbo Venturi Tube in a clean, dry area to protect from
corrosion to valve and spider web obstructions in venturi tube.
• Always stow by unthreading the entire grill from the L-Bracket. Do not remove the
L-Bracket & Clamp unless repositioning is necessary.
• Always store propane in a sealed propane storage locker that allows leakage to
vent overboard or use Magma A10-210 Propane Storage Tote. Never stow
below decks.

Complete Disassembly for Cleaning
1 - Remove entire grill body from L-Bracket of Mount.
2 - Unthread and remove burner, Flame Deflector and grease tray from bowl.
3 - To reassemble, reverse above steps and see “Setting Up Your Grill”on page 3.
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, 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,
www.MagmaProducts.com.
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.
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
complete list of replacement parts, see page 8, or visit our website www.MagmaProducts.com.
