PLANNING FOR INSTALLATION OF YOUR ELITE 50 GOURMET BARBECUE  
Fire Magic Barbecues are designed FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.  
WARNING: Built-in models must be installed in masonry or other type of fireproof enclosure. The unit is NOT insulated  
and therefore must be installed with 18" of side and back clearance from unprotected combustible materials such as  
wood, plastic, or stucco with wood framing.  
DO NOT install this unit under unprotected flammable surfaces. DO NOT install or use this appliance inside a  
building, garage, or any other enclosed area including recreational vehicles or boats.  
This is a SLIDE-IN TYPE unit designed to fit into open-front PROPANE CYLINDER ENCLOSURES  
enclosures. The Front Panel (Face) of the unit is removable for  
To prevent invisible combustible gas from accumulating in  
gas hookup, servicing and Burner adjustment, and MUST remain

level on opposite sides of the enclosure. The floor level  
openings must start at the floor and shall extend no higher  
than 5” above the floor. Each opening must have a minimum  
of 10 square inches (64.5 cm2) of free area. To achieve the  
proper ventilation, you may drill a series of holes, omit the  
grout from masonry joints or replace a brick with a hardware  
cloth screen. If the floor in the cabinet is raised and the  
space beneath the cabinet is open to the outside, the lower  
ventilation openings may be in the floor.  
ENSURING PROPER COMBUSTIONAIR & COOLING FLOW  
Maintaining proper air flow for your Fire Magic Barbecue is  
essential if it is to perform as it was designed (Fig 1). If airflow  
is blocked, overheating and poor combustion will result. Make  
sure not to block the 1" front air inlet along bottom of Barbecue  
Face. Note: The front air space allows access to Drip Tray.  
FOR YOUR SAFETY, you must provide these openings for  
drainage, replacement air and cross ventilation of any storage  
area exposed to possible leakage from gas connections, the  
Barbecue or Propane Cylinder.  
IMPORTANT: Additional requirements for safe use of Propane  
gas and gas cylinders appear on Pg. 6 of this manual.

Ventilation Diagram  
HOUSEHOLD PROPANE GAS SERVICE  
Consult your gas supplier for ventilation requirements when  
connecting to a household Propane supply.  
VENTILATIONOFENCLOSURES  
WhenusingPropane gas,takeEXTREMECAUTIONtoensure  
ample ventilation of gas vapor. Propane vapor is invisible and  
heavier than air. A DANGEROUS EXPLOSION could occur,  
resulting in SERIOUS INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE if Propane  
gas is allowed to accumulate and then ignite.  
ELECTRICALOUTLETS  
All electrical outlets in area of Barbecue must be grounded.  
Installer and User Note: Keep electrical supply cords away  
from all heated surfaces.  
Only one Propane gas cylinder may be located in an  
enclosure. Extra or spare cylinders must be stored outdoors  
out of the reach of children and outside of any building, garage  
orotherenclosedarea. READANDFOLLOWALLWARNINGS  
PROVIDED WITH PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS. Never  
locate a cylinder under or near Barbecue unless sufficient  
ventilation and shielding is provided to prevent any heating of  
cylinder, regulator and rubber hose.  
EXHAUSTREMOVAL  
If installed under a patio roof, the grill area should be fully  
coveredbyachimneyandexhausthood. Anexhaustfanwith  
a rating of 1000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) or more may be  
necessary to efficiently remove smoke and other cooking by-  
products from the covered area. Installation in fully-enclosed  
patio areas is not recommended.

CONNECTING YOUR ELITE 50 GOURMET BARBECUE TO THE GAS SUPPLY  
TO CONNECT TO THE GAS SUPPLY  
IF THE OVEN IS SEPARATED FROM THE BARBECUE, IT  
WILL REQUIRE TWO PEOPLE TO INSTALL IT.  
a. The Elite Barbecue is supplied with an approved stain-  
less steel flex connector to bring the gas supply from the  
gas line stub to the Valve Manifold. A 7/8”x 36” Connector  
is provided with a 1/2" female pipe adapter on one end to  
connect to your gas suply.  
a. Make sure the Backburner gas supply tubes are protruding  
above the side panels of the barbecue frame (Figure 4). The  
Backburner electrode wires should be positioned outside of the  
Barbecue for the Oven to sit correctly.  
b. Carefully place the oven on the frame so the Backburner  
gas supply tubes fit into lid stop elbows on the oven (Figure 6).  
The front lip of the oven may sit on the face of the Barbecue.  
CAUTION: Use only stainless steel flex connectors that  
are C.S.A. listed.  
WARNING: Arubber or plastic connector will rupture or  
leak, resulting in an explosion or serious injury if used  
inside the Barbecue enclosure.  
c. Hand tighten the compression nuts onto the lid stopelbows  
d. Use a wrench and turn the elbow (lid stop) to push the oven  
to the back of the Barbecue frame (Figure 5).  
b. Make sure that your gas supply is turned off! Then con-  
nect the 1/2" pipe adapter fitting supplied with the stainless steel  
flex connector to the gas supply stub. Use pipe joint compound  
that is resistant to all gasses on the male pipe fitting and tighten  
securely. DO NOT use pipe joint compound to connect the  
Flare Fittings.  
e. Tighten the compression nuts on the Backburner gas supply  
tubes to the elbow lid stops. Do not use pipe joint compound  
on these connections.  
f. Place the right Backburner electrode wire through the oven  
just in front of the elbow (lid stop). Secure with nut and screw.  
Plug the electrode wire into the Backburner electrode (see Parts  
List diagram on page 3). Make sure the electrode wire does not  
touch the Backburner. Repeat above instructions for left  
Backburner electrode wire.  
c. Slide your Barbecue into place, making sure not to pinch or  
kink the gas connector.  
d. Bring the flex connector around the left-hand side of the  
Barbecue. Use the Locator Angle Brackets on the left lower-  
frame to position the flex connector. Continue the flex connector  
along the left side to the front of the unit and theValve Manifold  
Inlet. Be careful not to block the 1" Front Vent opening as this  
will obstruct DripTray removal.  
g. Make sure the Barbecue Burner valves are in the "OFF"  
position. Turn the gas supply ‘ON’. Carefully check all gas  
connections for leaks with a brush and soapy water before  
lighting. NEVER USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME TO TEST  
FOR LEAKS.  
e. Connect the flex connector to the Flare Fitting on the Mani-  
fold Inlet. Support the Manifold Inlet Fitting with a wrench to  
avoid applying excessive torque to the Manifold Assembly while  
tightening this connection securely. DO NOT use pipe com-  
pound on Flare Fittings.

CHECKING YOUR BARBECUE  
3. CHECK BACKBURNER FUEL ORIFICE SIZE  
BARBECUE FUEL ORIFICE SIZE  
If your Barbecue includes a Backburner it is equipped with  
a Natural Gas orifice unless otherwise indicated. To use Propane  
Gas, you must use a smaller orifice. The proper orifice for  
Natural Gas is #45 (drill size). The proper orifice for Propane  
Gas is #125 (1.25mm).  
Elite 50 Gourmet Unibody Barbecues are equipped with fuel  
orifices for Natural gas, unless otherwise indicated. To use  
with Propane gas, you must install smaller orifices to avoid  
hazardous overheating.  
For Elite 50 Barbecues: The proper orifice size for Natural  
Gas is #48 (drill size). The proper orifice size for Propane Gas  
is #57 (drill size).  
Hazardous overheating will occur if a Natural Gas orifice is  
used with Propane Gas. If you are not sure, or if an orifice  
changeisnecessary,refertotheinstructionsincludedwiththe  
replacement orifice which is packed with the Barbecue.  
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT  
BARBECUE BURNER ORIFICE SIZE  
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT

d. Carefully pull the left end of the backburner assembly  
forward, keeping it against the left side of the oven, until  
the right end of the burner clears the orifice.  
NOTE: Carefully lift the face away from the frame. The Spark  
Generator for the ignition system is attached to the inside of  
the face panel. The Spark generator Knob need not be de-  
tached, but the wires must be unplugged from the generator  
before the face is removed.  
2. Check the size stamped on the orifice.  
3. If an orifice change is necessary, use a 3/8" hex nutdriver  
or appropriate wrench or pliers to replace the orifice.  
4. Replace the Backburner assembly, following step a.through  
d. above, in reverse order.  
c. Using a flat blade screwdriver, pry the burner retaining clip

The Barbecue Regulator, located behind the Front Panel (Face),  
must be set for the type of gas used to fuel the Barbecue. To  
check the regulator setting remove the cap in the center of the  
regulator (Fig 8A). Holding the cap vertical (see Fig 8B), the  
letters at bottom of the plastic stalk should indicate the gas  
type that the reguator is currently set up for. If regulator is not  
set for your gas type, remove stalk from cap, invert and replace  
into center of cap. Replace cap on regulator, screwing down  
until snug.

The Air Shutters are located at the front of the Burners behind  
the Face and Heat Shield (see Parts List)Burner Air Shutters  
and are easily accessed by removing the Front Panel (Face)  
and Heat Shield. Close the air shutters by turning the tabs to a  
vertical position.(Figure 9). Light your Barbecue in accordance  
with the lighting instructions (page 6) and burn for 2 minutes  
with the valves on high and the oven open.

the frame (see Page 12 for Battery Replacement). Place the  
Face on the Frame so the Front Lip of the Face covers the lip  
on the frame.  
After burning for 2 minutes, open the Air Shutters until the  
flames lift off, or appear not to be touching the Burners. Then  
begin closing the Air Shutters until the flames appear to burn  
while touching the Burner Ports (Figure 9). You may then see  
short yellow tips on the flames. If flames are a lazy yellow,  
open the Air Shutters until the flame is blue with yellow tipping.  
ADJUSTING THE FLAME HEIGHT  
The large knobs on the Face of the Barbecue control theValves  
and adjust flame height. The first position is “High,the second  
“Medium” and the final “Low. Flame height can also be set  
anywhere between the High, Medium and Low settings for all  
cooking requirements and methods.  
NOTE: Barbecues in some installations achieve a better air/  
gas mixture and will ignite more quickly if the valve is first  
turned beyond High to Medium or Low for lighting.  
Height of the flame with the valve in low position may be  
regulated by means of a small adjusting screw in the center of  
the valve stem. This screw is accessible by removing the  
plastic valve knob which pulls straight off the end of the valve  
stem.

OPERATNGYOUR BARBECUE  
To extend the life of your Fire Magic Barbecue, follow these  
steps prior to cooking:  
Smoker Tray (Woodchip Box)  
Your Backburner is supplied with a woodchip box. The  
woodchip box is designed to sit on top of the Backburner  
assembly over the notch in the heat deflector (See Fig. 13).  
ThisboxisdesignedtobeusedwhentheBackburnerisinuse.  
To use the box, just fill it with your favorite woodchips and set  
it in place. If you wish to refill the woodchip box when it is hot,  
you may carefully handle it using a pair of pliers. You must be  
very cautious not to get burned.  
1. Begin by heating the unit at a normal cooking temperature  
for several minutes.  
2. Then open the Control Valves to the “High” setting to burn  
off residue remaining from prior use.  
3. When the Barbecue has heated sufficiently, set heat to the  
desired cooking level.  
4. When using a smoke oven, closing the cover during the TheBackburnerCover  
preheat period will accelerate the preparation process.DO NOT  
a. TheBackburnercoverisinstalledbyplacingthecurvedpart  
of the cover over the top of the perforated portion of the  
Backburner (See Fig. 13).  
operate unattended at High Flame as cooking temperatures  
will quickly be exceeded.  
Using Your Optional Backburner  
b. The cover should be kept in place on the Backburner when  
itisnotinuse. ThiswillkeepyourBackburnerfreefromgrease  
splatter and debris that may hinder its performance.  
Rotisserie cooking with the Backburner is accomplished without  
use of the main grill Burners. The cooking grids are removed  
and if large cuts are to be barbecued, the Flavor grids may be  
removed to allow more clearance from the spit rod to the fire  
box. Aluminum Foil or a baking pan may be placed over the  
main Burners to catch excess drippings from your cooking.  
WARNING: YoumustremovetheBackburnercoverbefore  
lightingtheBackburner.  
FLAVOR FROM WOOD CHIPS OR CHARCOAL  
a. Remove the Backburner cover. (Fig.13)  
Convenient Fire Magic Gourmet Grilling Chips* are sold in  
several different popular wood types. These chips are pre-  
moistened and sealed in cans, a sample of which is provided  
with your barbecue. To use follow the instructions on the side  
of the can. After use there is no mess to clean up, just discard  
the can of ashes after there is no longer any wood smoke  
aroma. More Fire Magic Gourmet Grilling Chips* may be  
purchased through your local dealer.  
b. Place your meat on the rotisserie spit rod. Make sure it is  
centered on the spit. Refer to the instructions provided with  
your Fire Magic Rotisserie and counter balance.  
c. Follow the lighting instructions on page10  
d. Allow the Backburner to preheat for approximately 10  
minutes on "HIGH" setting.  
You may also add wood chips, wood chunks or the natural  
wood charcoal of your choice to the Flavor Grid. We recommend  
placing wood outside the direct cooking zone or wrapping it in  
perforated aluminum foil. Soaking wood before use will slow  
burning and increase smoke flavor. Wood and charcoal ash  
will remain in the Flavor Grid after use. The Grid can be easily  
removed and cleaned when unit has fully cooled.  
e. Place the spit rod with the meat into the rotisserie and turn  
on the motor.  
f. Useastandardroastingguidetoestimatethelengthoftime

BARBECUE SAFETY INFORMATION & MAINTENANCE  
Each time you use your Barbecue, make sure that:  
5. The Drip Collector hole is clear and unobstructed. Excessive  
grease deposits can result in a grease fire.  
1. The area around the Barbecue is clear of flammable  
substances such as gasoline, yard debris, wood, etc.  
6. The in-line gas valve or gas cylinder valve is always shut  
off when the Barbecue is not in use.  
2. There is no blockage of the air flow through the vent space  
located below the Face of the unit.  
DRIP COLLECTION SYSTEM  
3. When using Propane gas:  
The Drip Collector in this Fire Magic Barbecue is part of the  
unit’s main frame, and is located below the Burners.The Drip  
Collector has one hole which allows excess drippings to fall  
through during cooking while separating the firebox from the  
drip tray.  
a. The special ventilation openings in the enclosure  
are kept free and clear of debris.  
b. If connected to a Propane cylinder, the rubber hose  
attached to the Regulator is carefully inspected before  
each use.  
The Drip Collector allows you to brush or scrape residue from  
the Barbecue inner liner into the DripTray. Regular cleaning of  
your Barbecue interior with oven cleaner or Fire Magic  
Foaming Barbecue & Grill Cleaner*, following manufacturers  
instructions, will prevent grease fires.  
c. The Propane cylinder, Regulator and rubber hose  
are installed in a location not subject to heating above  
125° F (51° C).  
4. The Burner flames burn evenly along both sides of each  
Burner with a steady flame (mostly blue with yellow tipping).  
See “Air Shutter Adjustment” below. If Burner flames are not  
normal, check the orifice and Burner for insects or insect  
nests (see Pg.4, Sect. 2, for Burner removal and replacement).  
WARNING: NEVER cover the entire cooking or grill surface with griddles or pans. Overheating will occur and  
Burners will not perform properly when combustion heat is trapped below the cooking surface.  
CAUTION: NEVER spray water on a hot gas unit as this may damage porcelain or cast iron components.

Follow the simple steps of Care and Maintenance after every  
use.  
WIPE WITH GRAIN  
CAREANDMAINTENANCE  
(StainlessSteelGrids)  
To maintain your Stainless Steel Cooking Grids, we recommend  
lightly brushing the grids after use with a brass or stainless  
steel wire brush. Before use, brush again if necessary and  
spray a light coat of vegetable oil over the cooking surface.  
Discoloration or stubborn food particles can be removed with a  
heavy-duty abrasive or stainless steel scouring pad. Grills  
can also be washed in an automatic dishwasher or cleaned  
with strong cleaning solutions, including oven cleansers. We  
do not recommend ordinary steel or wire brushes, which may  
leave tiny metal particles on the grids which cause discoloration,  
but not permanent damage.

• Allowing grilled meats to rest for 2 - 5 minutes after cooking  
will redistribute juices creating a more tender, juicy
