Setup
Unpacking and Initial Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the grill for any signs of damage during transit. If any damage is found, do not proceed with assembly or operation and contact customer support.
Assembly
The Magma Newport II Classic Gourmet Series Gas Grill requires minimal assembly. The main grill unit comes pre-assembled. You may need to attach the control valve/regulator and any optional mounting accessories using the provided fasteners and Allen wrench.
Fuel Connection
- Ensure the grill's control knob is in the 'OFF' position.
- Attach a 1lb. disposable propane fuel canister directly to the swiveling control valve/regulator. Hand-tighten only.
- Alternatively, if adapting to an existing on-board low pressure propane (LPG) or natural gas (CNG) fuel system, ensure proper adapters and connections are used by a qualified technician.
Battery Installation (Electronic Ignition)
The electronic ignition system requires one 'AAA' battery. Locate the battery compartment, typically near the ignition button, and insert the 'AAA' battery with the correct polarity.
Mounting Options
The grill is equipped with fold-away tabletop legs for freestanding use. For boat or rail mounting, Magma offers a wide range of mounting options sold separately. Refer to the specific mounting kit instructions for installation.
Operating Instructions
Lighting the Grill
- Ensure the fuel canister is securely attached.
- Open the grill lid.
- Push in and turn the control knob to the 'HIGH' or 'LIGHT' position.
- Immediately press the electronic ignition button repeatedly until the burner ignites.
- Once lit, release the ignition button and adjust the flame to your desired cooking temperature using the control knob.
- If the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, turn the control knob to 'OFF', wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the lighting procedure.
Temperature Control
The grill features a hermetically sealed thermometer on the lid to monitor internal cooking temperature. Adjust the control knob to regulate the gas flow and achieve the desired heat level for your food. The efficient combustion system is designed to maintain heat even in windy conditions.
Cooking
The 162 square inch grilling surface provides ample space for various foods. Distribute food evenly on the grates for consistent cooking. Utilize the lid to retain heat and cook food more thoroughly.
Fuel Canister Exchange
When the fuel canister is empty, ensure the grill is off and cool. Unscrew the empty canister from the control valve/regulator and replace it with a new 1lb. disposable propane fuel canister. Always perform this in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources.
Maintenance
Cleaning
- After Each Use: Allow the grill to cool completely. Remove the cooking grates and the snap-out radiant plate. Clean them with a grill brush and warm soapy water.
- Grease Tray: The locking grease tray is accessible from the front. Regularly empty and clean the grease tray to prevent flare-ups and maintain hygiene.
- Exterior: Wipe down the 304 mirror-polished stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a mild stainless steel cleaner to maintain its luster and prevent corrosion. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads that can scratch the surface.
- Burner: Periodically inspect the burner ports for any blockages and clean as necessary.
Storage
Store the grill in a dry, protected area when not in use. Disconnect and remove the propane fuel canister before storage. Consider using a grill cover to protect it from the elements.
