What is the Fire Magic E790i / A790i Built-In Grill Cover?
The Fire Magic E790i & A790i Built-In Grill Cover is a custom-fitted cover built to protect the exterior of the Fire Magic E790i (and A790i) built-in grills. Its purpose is to shield the grill from rain, UV, dust, bird droppings, and other environmental elements.
What materials, features & design details does it include?
• Exterior: PVC vinyl shell that resists water and weather exposure.
• Interior lining: Breathable polyester to help reduce trapped moisture and condensation.
• Color: Black.
• Fit: Custom tailored to the E790i / A790i built-in dimensions.
• Origin: Made in the USA.
How do I install and use this cover properly?
1. Ensure the grill is completely **cooled** before installing the cover.
2. Begin by placing the cover over the hood/top and then pull it downward over the body.
3. Align the edges so the cover is evenly draped without tension or bunching.
4. Ensure vents or openings are not blocked so moisture can ventilate.
5. To remove, lift it straight up—do not drag it over edges.
What protection does the cover offer?
• Guards the grill’s exterior surfaces—hood, side panels, controls—from rain, sun, dust, and debris.
• Helps maintain the finish and extend the lifespan of exposed materials.
• Particularly useful for built-in installations that may not have overhead shelter.
What are maintenance tips and any limitations?
Maintenance Tips:
• Clean periodically with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and allow full drying before reinstallation.
• Avoid letting debris, leaves, or standing water accumulate on top of the cover.
• Be careful of grill edges or protrusions that could abrade or tear the vinyl.
• If storing the cover for long periods, ensure it is dry and ventilated to avoid mildew.
Limitations / cautions:
• Never cover the grill while it’s hot — always wait until it’s fully cooled.
• Over time, UV exposure and weather may degrade or fade the PVC and lining.
• The cover protects only external parts; internal components (burners, grates) may still be vulnerable to moisture.
• In high humidity situations, some condensation may form underneath—occasional airing is helpful.
