Instructions / Assembly

GETTING READY TO COOK
• Position grill lid to block the wind. See page 5.
• Remove cooking grill , by unscrewing it from threaded center post.
• Fill Magma “Charcoal Starter” (#A10-150) with briquets, or stack
two handfuls away from the center post, then soak the briquets
with lighter fluid per can instructions.
• Wait one minute before igniting. Then, preferably, use a long
nozzle butane lighter to light the briquets.
• When briquets are ready, spread the hot briquets evenly across
the lower grill.
• Replace the upper cooking grill by threading it to the desired height.
• Now you're ready to cook on your Magma grill! NOTE: The Magma
“Charcoal Starter” helps extend grill life, helps keep threaded center
post clean, and makes handling of coals safe and simple.
WARNING: Do not overheat the grill. Stainless steel is
a strong and long lasting material, but like any metal,
extreme heat can cause damage and discoloration.
SAFETY
• Use outdoors in ventilated area, clearance from combustibles 24
inches (61 cm).
• When operating grill, never leave unattended.
• Use glove or hot pad when handling hot grill.
• Always keep a fresh water spray bottle handy to reduce heat and
flare-ups.
• CAUTION: Excessive flare-ups will continue if the grill is too hot.
To cool grill, spray fresh water on flare-ups until cool.
• When using lighter fluid read instructions and safety precautions
on lighter fluid container.

COOKING TIPS
• Always cook with lid on.
• Timing is very important. Make sure food is prepared before lighting
the grill so cooking is completed while the briquets are still hot.
• The grill becomes hotter while cooking. Frequent checks should be
made during cooking until familiar with grill.
• To reduce flare-ups, use lean cuts of meat, trim excessive fat or skin,
and avoid oil based marinades.
• If flare-ups occur, reduce heat with fresh water spray bottle, and move
food away from flare-up.
• For larger cuts of meat or delicate items, use aluminum foil between
food and grill to deflect direct heat.
• Lubricate cooking grill with olive oil to keep food from sticking.
