d. Connect the fl ex connector to the fl are fi tting adapter on the manifold inlet. Support the manifold inlet fi tting with
a wrench to avoid applying excessive torque to the manifold assembly while tightening this connection securely.
Do not use pipe compound on the fl are fi tting.
e. Make sure the barbecue burner valves are in the OFF position. Turn the gas supply on. Then 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.
f. Refer to the AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT instructions and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS of this manual before
replacing the top panel and knobs.
g. Make sure the drip pan (provided with three disposable liners) is in place before replacing the top panel. In
order to change or empty the drip pan, you may access it when the top panel is off, or you may create a small
access door on the right side of your barbecue enclosure.
Note: Disposable liners (mini-loaf pans) are available at many
stores. For your convenience, the drip pan holder is
designed so an empty 14 to 18 ounce (.41 lt to .53 lt) tin can
may be substituted for the drip pan and drip pan support.
h. Screw the two 1
1
/
4
" (2.8 cm) stabilizer screws (packed with
the instructions) into the threaded inserts in the right rear
corner of the frame assembly. This will secure your barbecue
in place.
i. Replace the top panel. Be sure to reattach the ignitor wires.
The top panel may be adjusted left to right for bezel alignment
with gas valve knobs.
j. Replace the burner control knobs.
3. INSTALL THE FLAVOR GRIDS
Place the fl avor grids directly on the burner making sure the legs
of the fl avor grids rests directly on the burner (
Fig. 11-2). Center
the grids over the burners with the open side up. This enables heat
from the burners to be evenly distributed throughout the cooking
area. Flavor grids heat and cool quickly, making your Fire Magic barbecue very responsive to the changes you specify
in grill temperature. The fl avor grids are made of a high grade type 304 temperature resistant stainless steel that is rust
proof and may be cleaned with standard oven cleaners.
INSTALLING YOUR FIRE MAGIC REGAL I DROP-IN SERIES BARBECUE
1. POSITION THE BURNERS FOR OPERATION
a. After checking orifice drill size, install the air
shutter spring and the air shutter over the orifi ce
holder fi tting in the order and position shown in
Fig. 11-1.
b. Carefully place the burner(s) back in position,
resting on the back fl ange of the inner liner so that
the brass orifi ce and orifi ce holder fi ttings project
well into the burners.
c. Replace all the burner hold down clips.
2. CONNECT THE GAS SUPPLY TO YOUR REGAL
I DROP-IN SERIES BARBECUE
The barbecue may be connected to the gas supply line
using a fl exible rubber hose of proper rating. However, it
must not be connected directly to the valve manifold
or damage to the hose will result from overheating.
This will cause a rupture or leak, resulting in an explosion
or serious injury.
A stainless steel fl exible connector (minimum 18" (45.7
cm) must be used between the valve manifold and the
rubber hose.
a. Make sure that your gas supply is turned OFF.
Then connect the
1
/
2
" (1.27 cm) pipe adapter fi tting
supplied with the stainless steel fl ex connector
to the gas supply stub. Use pipe joint compound
that is resistant to all gasses on the male pipe
fi tting and tighten securely. Do not use pipe joint
compound to connect the fl are fi tting to the supply
stub adapter.
b. If you have not already done so, lower your
barbecue into place, making sure not to pinch or
kink the gas connector.
c. Bring the fl ex connector up to the valve manifold
Inlet.
