Valve will feel loose and will rotate easily. Even though the valve feels loose, it 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.

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.

MAINTENANCE
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, IGNITOR ELECTRODE & WIRE, 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
After cooking Do Not turn grill to high heat to burn off grilling residue. The grill is not a self cleaning oven & this extreme heat can
damage stainless steel components.
Glass Viewing Window - Use Oven and Grill Cleaner for burnt on residue. Wash with soapy water and dry prior to storage.
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.
Anti-Flare/Anti-Blow-Out Screens - Use Oven & Grill cleaner for burnt-on residue. Wash with soapy water and dry prior
to storage. 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.
Ceramic Electrode - Located just beside the burner, it should be kept clean of grease and debris. Be careful not to damage the
ceramic insulation or the wire. See page 5 for electrode spark adjustment.
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.MagmaProducts.com.

USING GRILL WITH ON-BOARD CNG (NATURAL GAS) SYSTEMS
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.
