Perform the following checks before installing your 
Deluxe Gourmet barbecue:
CHECK FUEL ORIFICES FOR PROPER SIZE
Your Fire Magic Deluxe Gourmet barbecue is 
equipped with fuel orifi ces for natural gas, unless 
otherwise indicated. To use with propane gas, you 
must install smaller orifi ces to avoid hazardous 
overheating. (Refer to Table 1 for correct orifi ce 
size.)
1.  Remove the cooking grid and fl avor grid from 
your barbecue.
2. If the gas supply is connected, be sure the 
burner valves are in the OFF position. 
3. Carefully pull the valve knobs from their 
stems. 
4. Use a Phillips screwdriver to turn the face 
fastener screws counter-clockwise to release 
the face and remove it from the barbecue. 
Retain the screws and fi nish washers until you 
are ready to reattach the face.
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 ignitor knob need not be detached, 
but the wires must be unplugged before 
the face is removed.

by: 
 a. Pulling it to the front of the barbecue, 
 b. Lift the far end out of the notch, 
 c. Pull the burner away from the manifold, 
taking care not to lose the air shutter and 
spring, which may become detached when

" (.95 cm) socket, remove orifi ce 
from the orifi ce holder on the burner manifold 
and check the number stamped on the face 
(refer to Table 1). Repeat for each burner, as 
necessary.
7. If your barbecue is not orifi ced for the gas 
supply you plan to use, replace them with the 
orifi ces supplied with the barbecue, or orifi ces 
supplied by your local dealer.
8.  After checking the orifi ce drill size or replacing 
the orifi ce, install the air shutter spring and the 
air shutter over the orifi ce holder fi tting, between 
the burner and the burner manifold, in the order 
and position shown in Fig. 5-1.
9. Replace the burners in the holding groove, 
ensuring that the brass orifice and orifice 
holder fi ttings project deeply into the burners. 
Replace the burner retaining clips.
