Each Magma
®
Gas Grill is individually fire tested before it leaves the factory.
For this reason, the burner on your grill may be slightly discolored.
CONTROL VALVE REGULATOR
•Uses standard 1-lb. disposable propane canisters (DOT-39 NRC).
•Prior to installing valve, become familiar with the valve function & 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.
•Position valve with gas bottle as shown (A). Gently insert valve stem
into valve chamber. Rotate until valve stem key aligns with lock detent
allowing valve to fully insert. Rotate gas canister down, so knob faces
you (B) or straight up (C) depending on application. Pull straight out
on valve to check that it is locked in place.
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
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 temperature with the lid closed. If medium or high heat is
required, grill with lid open.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
• Open lid during lighting.
• Place flame up to burner through the match light hole.
• Depress valve and turn counter-clockwise to the “HIGH”.
• 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: Before lighting, lid lock must be positioned not to engage. Open lid and
turn lock to locked position, or bring lock latch up to handle in open position
and flip lock actuator back onto handle.
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 A10-210 Propane Storage Tote.
Never stow below decks

MAINTENANCE
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, IGNITER ELECTRODE & WIRE, 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 in
any way. 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 visit our website www.

Typical Marine &
R.V. Application
• 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.
Insert valve as shown in diagram above. Valve
may seem loose, this is OK. Valve does not have
to be snug-fitting to be safe or function properly.
