Fire Magic C650i Built-In Grill Cover — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Fire Magic C650i Built-In Grill Cover?
The Fire Magic C650i Built-In Grill Cover (model 3657F) is a custom vinyl cover designed to protect the Fire Magic Choice C650i built-in gas grill from weather, dust, UV rays, and debris when the grill is not in use.
What are the materials, construction, and key features?
• Exterior: Heavy-duty multi-layer PVC (vinyl) that resists water and weather.
• Interior: Breathable polyester lining to allow moisture to escape and reduce condensation buildup.
• Design: Custom-fitted shape to match the dimensions of the C650i built-in model.
• Color: Black PVC vinyl (fade-resistant).
• Dimensions / Fit: Covers a 36-inch built-in grill width.
• Weight: Approximately 5 lb.
How do I install and use the cover properly?
1. Make sure the grill is fully cooled and turned off.
2. Align the cover front to back, starting at the hood, then draw the sides down over the body.
3. Ensure the cover sits flush without catches or tucks.
4. Leave vents (if any) unobstructed to allow airflow and help reduce moisture.
5. To remove, lift straight up; avoid dragging over edges.
What protection does it offer and when is it best used?
• Shields the grill from rain, snow, UV rays, dust, tree debris, and bird droppings.
• Helps maintain the finish and prevent corrosion in external parts.
• Useful for seasonal storage or long periods of nonuse.
• Especially effective when the area is exposed (not under a roof or eave).
What are the maintenance tips and limitations?
Tips:
• Clean the cover occasionally with mild soap and water; rinse and air dry before reusing.
• Don’t leave debris or standing water on top of the cover.
• When installing, avoid sharp edges or protrusions that may tear the vinyl.
• Store the cover dry in a ventilated area when not needed.
Limitations / cautions:
• The cover is not intended for use while the grill is hot or during cooking.
• Vinyl may degrade over many years of intense sun exposure—inspect for cracking or fading.
• It doesn’t protect internal parts (burners, cooking grates) from moisture if they are uncovered.
• In very humid climates, some condensation may still form under the cover despite the lining.
