PLANNING FOR INSTALLATION
With our insulating liner, you can safely install the Fire Magic
barbecue in a wood cabinetry, stucco, or other combustible
enclosure.
Do not install this unit under unprotected fl ammable
surfaces. Do not install or use this appliance inside a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area, including
recreational vehicles or boats.
Note: This barbecue must be installed so that it can
be removed in the event service should be
necessary. Any protrusion into the barbecue
enclosure from either side, which is less than
11
1 /
4
" (28.2 cm) below the countertop, may
obstruct the frame and prevent the unit from
dropping into place.
ENSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
COOLING AIR FLOW
The 1 /
2
" (1.27 cm) vent space between the top panel of the
unit and the countertop that is created by the attached cork
mounting pads resting on the countertop must be left clear.
Blockage of barbecue air fl ow causes overheating and poor
combustion. A vent screen is provided to cover this opening.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
Electrical outlets in the vicinity of the barbecue, which might
be used for rotisserie motors or other appliances, must be
properly grounded.
Note: Keep electrical supply cords away from all heated
surfaces.
EXHAUST REMOVAL
If installed under a patio roof, the cooking grid area must be
fully covered by a chimney and exhaust hood. An exhaust fan
with a rating of at least 1,000 CFM (472 liters per second) or
more may be necessary to effi ciently remove smoke and other
cooking by-products from the covered area. Do not install in
a fully enclosed area of any kind.
GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
Rigid 1 1 /
2
" (1.27 cm) black steel pipe is required to conduct
the gas supply into the barbecue enclosure for connection
to the unit. Pipe joint compound that is resistant to all gasses

securely. Do not use pipe joint compound to connect fl are
fi ttings.
The pipe should terminate near the front and center of the
enclosure, no more than 5" (12.7 cm) from the countertop.
