OPERATING PROCEDURES
OPERATE ONLY ON “LOW” WHEN LID IS CLOSED.
ALWAYS OPERATE WITH GREASE TRAY IN PLACE.
WARNING: Do not overheat barbecue. Magma BBQ’s 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 and rotate counter-clockwise to the “HIGH” flame position.
• Push Piezo Igniter.
• Visually confirm ignition through match light hole.
• Turn knob to adjust flame.
• If BBQ does not light, repeat process.
MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
• Open lid during lighting.
• Depress knob and rotate counter-clockwise to the “HIGH” flame position.
• Hold match or gas flame long lighter up to the match light hole.
• Visually confirm ignition through match light hole.
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 BBQ or stop any flare-ups.

DISASSEMBLY & RE-ASSEMBLY
• Lift radiant plate up & out of left slot (see B) and remove by sliding it out of

residue or spider webs that may obstruct gas flow. CAUTION: WHEN
REPLACING BURNER, CUT SLOT IN BURNER MUST FACE DOWN.
• To remove liner from outer shell you must disconnect the electrode wire (see
D). First remove the two screws on valve chamber (see D) and remove the
cover plate. Gently pull wire straight out of ceramic electrode. It is not
necessary to remove electrode from liner (see D).
• Remove Lid and liner by removing hinge screws and lock nuts with 3/16”
hex key wrench (supplied) and 1/2”wrench or pliers. CAUTION: LOCK NUTS
MUST BE INSTALLED WITH LOCKING INDENT MARKS SHOWING (see E).
IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL DAMAGE THE HINGE SCREW AND LOCK NUT.

MAINTENANCE

ABOUT STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel exposed to prolonged periods of high heat will change color and texture.
Magma grills require no preheating. Not preheating will keep your grill cooler and
greatly extend the life and beauty of your grill. Texture and color change is normal on
interior components and will not affect the products operation or performance.
Exterior Stainless Steel Components
Cleaning the exterior surface after every use will help prevent discoloration. Use soapy
water with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry. We
recommend covering the grill between uses. Optional covers are available from Magma
retailers or direct from Magma. CAUTION: ABRASIVE PADS OR CLEANERS WILL DAMAGE
THE FINISH.
Interior Components
Remove heavy residue from barbeque and empty grease tray between each use. We
recommend complete disassembly and cleaning at least once a year depending on
amount of use (see page 5) and always prior to long term storage. For burnt-on residue
we recommend Easy-Off brand Oven & Grill Cleaner. If cleaner is used on liner or lid,
complete disassembly is recommended to remove any cleaner residue left between
components. Wash all components with soapy water after using cleaner. CAUTION:
AVOID CONTACT OF IGNITER AND ELECTRODE WIRE AND WIRE CONNECTORS WITH
OVEN CLEANER.
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. Be careful
not to damage the ceramic insulation or bend 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 gas outlet orifice using a pin or needle.
