Fire Magic 194B2N0 Installation Instruction

 The power burner must be installed in masonry 

or other type of fi reproof surround. The unit is not 

insulated and therefore must be installed or placed 

with 18" (45.7 cm) of side and back clearance from 

unprotected combustible materials such as wood, 

plastic, or stucco with wood framing.

This is a slide-in unit designed to fi t into open-front 
enclosures. Control panel of the unit is removable for 
gas hookup, servicing and burner adjustment. Control 
panel must remain removable after you install the unit.

The hanger requires 2" (5.1 cm) of 
countertop on each side and back to 
support the unit.

Note:  We recommend you build the enclosure for 

the power burner 6"-12" (15.2 cm- 30.5 cm) 
LOWER than your countertop (see Fig. 5-2). 
This will ensure a safer environment when 
using tall cooking pots like the turkey fryer, 
which can hold 40 lbs of hot oil.

Note:  This unit should be installed so that it can be 

removed at a later date if factory service is 
required. Any protrusion into the power burner 
enclosure may prevent the unit from sliding 
into place (see GAS SUPPLY PLUMBING 
REQUIREMENTS).

ENSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND 
COOLING AIR FLOW
You must maintain proper air fl ow for your Fire Magic 
power burner to perform as it was designed (Fig. 

5-1

). If 

airfl ow is blocked, overheating and poor combustion will 
result. Make sure not to block the 1" (2.5 cm) front air 
inlet along the bottom of the control panel or more than 
75% of the support grid surface with pans or griddles.

Note:  The 1" (2.5 cm) front air space allows access 

to the drip tray.

If installed under a patio roof, the cooking grid area 
should be fully covered by a chimney and exhaust hood. 
An exhaust fan with a rating of up to 1,000 CFM (472 
liters per second) may be 
necessary to effi ciently 
remove smoke and other 
cooking by-products 
from the covered area.

 black steel pipe, or local 

code approved pipe for temperatures up to 800°F (427°C), 
is required to conduct the gas supply into the enclosure 
opening for connection to the unit. Do not use a rubber 
hose within the enclosure for the power burner. Apply 
only joint compounds that are resistant to all gasses on all 
male pipe fi ttings. Make sure to tighten every joint securely.

The gas supply pipe should terminate below the power 
burner so fi nal connection can be made with an approved 
fl ex connector.

You will need a C.S.A. approved stainless steel flex 
connector to bring the gas supply from the gas line stub to 
the regulator. A
