Overall Dimensions: 35 in. W x 23-3/4 in. D x 14-1/8 in. H (lid closed)
The Fire Magic EL500i-4Z1E is the dual-control version of Fire Magic's 240V built-in electric grill, with two independently controlled cooking zones and searing heat up to 700 F. It is made for terraces, rooftops, condos and co-ops that prohibit gas or propane, and for cooks who want to sear on one side while holding food on the other. A 304 stainless body, patented Diamond Sear grids and Bluetooth touchscreen controls put it in a different class from plug-in patio grills.

What Is Included and What You Will Need
- Included: grill head with two heating elements, Diamond Sear cooking grids, vaporizer panels, warming rack, meat probe and storage box, drip tray with liners, grid lifter, installation and owner's manual.
- Cover option: selecting "With Cover" adds the Fire Magic EL500i grill cover (3662F).
- Required for a combustible enclosure: Fire Magic EL500i insulating liner (3178-52).
- Required under combustible overhead construction: an exhaust hood such as the Fire Magic 36 in. 1200 CFM vent hood (36-VH-7), with optional 36-VH-7-02 spacer and 36-VH-7-DC duct cover.
- You will need: a licensed electrician to run a dedicated 240VAC, 30 amp GFCI circuit with an outdoor-rated, weatherproof electrical disconnect or plug and receptacle (not included), and a non-combustible countertop.
- Optional: Fire Magic wind deflector (23116-18).
Installation Notes
The EL500 is rated 6,000 W at 25 amps and must be wired to a dedicated 240VAC, 30 amp minimum, single-phase GFCI breaker with a weatherproof disconnect or plug and receptacle, installed by a qualified professional to the National Electrical Code. The countertop must be non-combustible; the enclosure can be combustible only with the insulating liner. Minimum clearances are 8 in. to a rear wall, 4 in. to a backsplash, 8 in. to side walls, 24 in. to corner walls, 6 in. around the control panel and 2 in. below the unit. Under combustible overhead construction an exhaust hood is required, mounted at least 30 in. above the countertop with a fan rated 1200 CFM or more. On a New York City terrace or rooftop where gas is not allowed, the EL500 is often the practical answer, but the building and electrical service need review. Book a design consultation and bring your building's alteration rules.
Documentation
Frequently Asked Questions
What electrical service does the EL500 need?
A dedicated 240VAC, 30 amp minimum, single-phase GFCI circuit breaker, plus an outdoor-rated weatherproof disconnect or plug and receptacle. The grill itself is rated 6,000 W at 25 amps.
Does it get hot enough to sear?
Yes. Fire Magic rates it up to 700 F, with preheat in under 15 minutes.
Can I install it in a wood-framed island?
Only with the 3178-52 insulating liner. The countertop itself must be non-combustible.
What does dual control add?
The grill is split into left and right zones, each with its own heating element, thermostat and meat probe jack, so you can run two temperatures at once. The single-control EL500i-3Z1E heats the whole surface from one control.
