SETTING UP YOUR GRILL
3
1Select 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.
2Next, 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).
3Adjust 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.
4Carefully 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.

8Install grill grate by rotating grate so that both grill grate tabs slide under the holding clips (8a),
locking grate and all internal components in correct position.
9 Insert the venturi tube into the threaded pipe on the bottom of the grill body and firmly tighten
the threaded 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.

•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.

USING GRILL WITH ON-BOARD LPG (PROPANE) SYSTEMS
• 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' Gas Grill
Connection 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 Gas Grill Connection 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.

• Magma On-Board LPG (Propane) Valves and Lpg (Propane) Low Pressure Gas Grill Connection Kits allow Magma
Grills to be installed within a boats existing on-board, pre-regulated low pressure LPG (Propane) system.
Valve will feel loose and will rotate easily. Even though the valve feels loose, it is designed that way and will
not leak. The valve was designed to be loose fitting in order to allow safe, easy installation and removal of the
propane canister and so it easily swings without resistance to fit all applications.

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. • 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.
6
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.
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.

MAINTENANCE

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 steps 6 through 9 from page 4 “Setting Up Your Grill”.
Stainless steel contrary to popular belief can rust. Most commonly, deposits on surface of the
product will trap moisture. It is this moisture that robs stainless steel of oxygen. Oxygen is the
element that reacts with 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 stainless steel polishes on grill exterior as most leave a residue that may discolor when
grill is heated.
Additionally, stainless steel that is exposed to high heat will change color and texture over time.
The “amber” color of grill exterior and internal components is not a failure of the stainless steel and
will not affect products operation. When this happens, we recommend using “Magma Magic”
Grill Restorer to remove the “amber” color and return grill to its original luster. However,
prolonged exposure to extreme high heat will cause chromium and nickel to “burn out” of stainless
steel. At this point stainless steel will become more susceptible to corrosion and will start to
deteriorate. We recommended replacement of internal components as they become seriously
deteriorated.
We recommend thoroughly cleaning grill and internal components after each outing.
Disassemble interior components and remove all food residue. Use a “Scotch Brite” pad or similar
product and “Easy-Off” oven cleaner for cleaning grills interior components, followed by thoroughly
washing with soap and water, rinse with fresh water & dry. AVOID CONTACT OF OVEN CLEANER
WITH SKIN, CONTROL VALVE, AND BOAT SURFACE. CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF ABRASIVE
PAD ON EXTERIOR MIRROR FINISH AS IT WILL SCRATCH SURFACE, USE ONLY A SOFT CLOTH. We
recommend covering 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.
