1. Select 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.
2. Next, 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 on 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.
3. Adjust threaded flat surface of L-Bracket to level position and tighten firmly with 9/16" or adjustable wrench so that
L-Bracket & Clamp cannot be moved. NOTE: Level positioning is critical for even temperatures across the cooking surface.
4. 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.

• Uses standard 1-lb. disposable propane canisters (DOT-39 NRC).
• 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.
• Position valve with gas bottle as shown (A). Gently insert valve stem
into the turbo venturi tube. Rotate until valve stem key aligns with lock
detent allowing valve to fully insert. Rotate gas canister down (B).

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.

USING GRILL WITH ON-BOARD LPG (PROPANE) SYSTEMS
• 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.
• Use only Magma Type 3 Low Pressure LPG (Propane) Valves.
See our Valve Application Guide at 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.
• In Australia and New Zealand, LPG fuel systems must be installed by a certified gas technician.

Typical Boat and R.V. Application
Gently insert valve stem into venturi tube upside down until fully inserted and rotate as shown.
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 ensure 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. • Depress knob & rotate counter-clockwise to the “HIGH” position.
• Push Electronic Pulse Igniter. • Visually confirm ignition. • Turn knob to adjust flame.
• If grill does not light, ensure that a burner electrode spark cap is directly above electrode.
• If the Electronic Pulse Igniter continues to fail to ignite the gas, (See MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS).
NOTE: Electronic ignition comes equipped with battery pre-installed. Replace with “AAA” alkaline battery only.
MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
(Backup system allows use of grill until Electronic Pulse Igniter system is repaired.)
• Open lid during lighting.
• Place flame up to burner through the match light hole.
• Depress valve and turn counter-clockwise to the “High” position.
• Visually confirm ignition.
TO REDUCE FLARE-UP
• Trim excess fats from meat. • Reduce heat.
• Use non-oil based marinades. • Use water spray directly on flare-ups.
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. • Electrode is clean and electronic ignition creates a spark.
• 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.

MAINTENANCE
COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY FOR CLEANING (OR ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC PULSE IGNITER)
1. Remove entire grill body from L-Bracket of Mount.
2. Unthread and remove burner, fire pan and grease pan from outer bowl.
3. To inspect Electronic Pulse Igniter, remove single screw from inside of outer bowl to
release igniter box and carefully inspect for corrosion or loose wire connection.
4. To reassemble, reverse above steps and steps 5 through 8 (See “Setting Up Your Grill”, Page 6).
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 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 the product's 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 thorough cleaning of all internal parts after each outing. It is important to disassemble the interior
components and remove any food residue. A soft “Scotch-Brite” 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, 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. CERAMIC ELECTRODE
Located just beside the burner, it should be kept clean of grease and debris. Burner ground strap must be directly over
the electrode for proper operation, be careful not to damage the ceramic insulation or the wire.
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 11, or visit our website MagmaProducts.com.
Battery
• For smaller pots/pans, place the cookware directly on the three tongs of the radiant plate.
• For larger pots/pans, including woks, invert the radiant plate and place the cookware directly on the radiant plate.
USING THE MARINE KETTLE AS A STOVE
Magma’s patented, unique design of the Marine Kettle allows it to be used as a conventional stove. This permits
you to fry, saute, boil, wok, etc. • Remove the grill grate. • Remove the radiant dome • Adjust flame to proper
cooking temperature.
