PLANNING FOR LOCATION OF THE DELUXE SELECT PORTABLE GAS BARBECUE
WHERE TO LOCATE THE
DELUXE SELECT PORTABLE GAS BARBECUE
Fire Magic gas barbecues are for outdoor use only.
THIS UNIT MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 18” (SIDES &
BACK) FROM ANY COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES
SUCH AS WOOD & STUCCO
Do not use this unit under unprotected flammable
surfaces. Do not use this appliance inside a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area. It must not be
used in or on recreational vehicles or boats.
The front panel (Face) of the unit is removable for
servicing.
INSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND COOLING
AIR FLOW
You must maintain proper air flow for the barbecue to
perform as it was designed (Figure 1). If airflow is blocked,
overheating and poor combustion will result. Make sure
not to block the 1" front air inlet along the bottom of the
face or more than 75% of the cooking grid surface with
pans or griddles.
Note: The 1" front air space allows access to the drip tray.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
Electrical outlets in the vicinity of the barbecue, which
might be used for rotisserie motors or other appliances
must be properly grounded.
INSTALLER AND USER NOTE: Keep electrical supply
cords away from all heated surfaces.
EXHAUST REMOVAL
If installed under a patio roof, the cooking grid area
should be fully covered by a chimney and exhaust hood.
An exhaust fan with a rating of 1000 CFM or more is
necessary to efficiently remove smoke and other cooking
by-products from the covered area. Installation in fully-
enclosed patio areas is not recommended.
GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
For natural gas or a household propane system. Rigid 1/2" or 3/4” black steel pipe, or local code approved pipe is
required to conduct the gas supply to the unit. An outdoor approved flexible connector can be used to connect your
household gas supply to the barbecue.
Do not use a rubber hose within the enclosure for the barbecue unit. Apply only joint compounds that are
resistant to all gasses on all male pipe fittings. Make sure to tighten every joint securely.
NOTE: If 1/2” pipe is used with natural gas, it should be no longer than 20 feet.
SAFETY NOTE: An external valve (with a removable key) in the gas line is necessary for safety when the barbecue
is not in use. It also provides for convenient maintenance.
Only one propane gas cylinder can be located in the barbecue enclosure. Extra or spare cylinders must be
stored outdoors out of reach of children and outside of any building, garage or other enclosed area.
