Available Sizes: Fire Magic Aurora Built-In Configurable Grills
24" A430i | 30" A540i (Current Size)
Overall Dimensions: 33-1/2" W x 26" D x 25-1/8" H (13-3/4" above the countertop, hood closed)
The Fire Magic Aurora A540i is a 30-inch built-in gas grill with three cast stainless E-burners, Diamond Sear grids, and a 90-degree double-wall hood, built around a compact 18-inch-deep firebox. It suits a smaller island or a city backyard where a shallow 19-1/2 inch cutout matters, and you can configure it here with an infrared sear burner, a rear rotisserie backburner, both, or neither. It shares many features with the flagship Fire Magic Echelon series.

- Recessed 18,000 BTU infrared backburner for the heavy-duty rotisserie (motor, spit rod, meat prongs).
- Infrared sear burner in the left position for high direct heat on steaks.
- Stainless flavor grids spread heat and vaporize drippings; attached heat zone separators create independent zones.

- Hot surface ignition lights reliably at the push of a knob, with flash tubes as a match-light backup.
- 12V halogen interior lights and back-lit knobs for evening cooking.
- Adjustable, dual-position warming rack and a pull-out drip tray.
What Is Included and What You Will Need
- Included: Aurora A540i grill head for your selected fuel and configuration; rotisserie kit (motor, spit rod, meat prongs) with backburner configurations; the 3643F cover when the "With Cover" option is selected.
- Required: natural gas or propane supply with shutoff valve, a 15 amp GFCI outdoor receptacle, and for combustible islands the Fire Magic Insulating Liner 23150-52.
- Recommended: Fire Magic Grill Cover 3643F (or choose the "With Cover" option above).
- Optional: Fire Magic Double Side Burner and Fire Magic 1 Hour Gas Timer Box.
Installation Notes
Outdoor use only. The grill drops into a 32" W x 19-1/2" D x 11-1/2" H cutout. A combustible island requires the Fire Magic Insulating Liner 23150-52; masonry or other non-combustible islands do not. Keep 18 inches of clearance to combustible side and rear walls, and 5 feet from the countertop to any overhead structure; under a combustible roof, Fire Magic requires a UL 710 or ULC S646 listed vent hood. Run a 1/2 inch minimum ID gas line with a shutoff valve (not included) within 6 feet of the grill, and provide a 15 amp GFCI outdoor receptacle for the ignition and lights. In New York City the gas connection must be made by a licensed master plumber under permit. We build Fire Magic kitchens across NYC, Long Island, Westchester, and New Jersey; book a design consultation to plan yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an insulating liner for the A540i?
Only in a combustible island. Masonry and other non-combustible islands take the grill directly in the 32" W x 19-1/2" D x 11-1/2" H cutout; wood-framed or other combustible islands need liner 23150-52.
How does the A540i compare to the A660i?
The A660i has a 22 inch deep cooking area (660 sq. in.) and 75,000 BTU, needs a 23-1/2 inch deep cutout, and offers the Magic View window. The A540i has an 18 inch deep area (540 sq. in.), 63,000 BTU, and a shallower 19-1/2 inch cutout. Both are 30 inches wide on the grates.
Which option should I choose?
Choose "Backburner + Rotisserie Kit" (A540i-8EA) if you want rotisserie chicken and roasts, "Infrared Burner on Left Side" (A540i-7LA) for steakhouse searing, or "Add Both" (A540i-8LA). The base A540i-7EA has three E-burners only.
