Safety Instructions
Set-Up
We recommend that a licensed contractor install your Cal Flame •
side burner. Installation must conform to local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code,
B149.2), as applicable.
To prevent re and smoke damage, remove all packaging material •
before operating side burner.
Before you start cooking, clean the entire side burner thoroughly •
with hot, soapy water. This is necessary to remove residual solvents, oil and grease used in the manufacturing process. The
grates should also be thoroughly cleaned in the same manner.

Operation
Do not use side burner for oth• er than intended use.
In the event that a burner goes out, turn burner knobs to the •
full OFF position and let it air out. Do not attempt to use the side
burner until the gas has had time to dissipate.
Keep all electrical supply cords and the rotisserie motor cord away •
from the heated areas of the side burner.
Never use the side burner in windy conditions. If used in a consis-•
Safety Instructions
tently windy area a windbreak will be required. Always adhere to
the specied clearances listed in this manual.
Never line the side burner with aluminum foil.•
When the unit is not in use, be sure to turn off the gas at the •
source.
When handling LP gas line and connectors, do not allow them to •
come in contact with any metal surfaces of the cart or cabinet. Do
not drop LP connectors.
Do not use solid fuel such as charcoal briquettes.•
Never leave the side burner unattended when in use. When using •
pots and pans, boil-overs will cause smoking and greasy boil-overs
may ignite.
Always use the proper size pan. Select utensils with at bottoms •
large enough to cover the burner. The use of under-sized utensils
exposes the sides of the utensils to direct contact with a portion
of the ame. This can scorch utensils and hamper cleanup. Exces-
sive ames on large stainless steel pots can result in permanent
discoloration. For best results, we recommend commercial quality
aluminum pans and utensils.
Always position handles of utensils so they do not extend over ad-•
jacent work areas or cooking areas. This reduces the risk of burns,
ignition of ammable materials, and spillage due to accidental contact with the utensils.
Do not use water on grease res. Never pick up a aming pan. •
Turn the appliance off and smother the aming pan with a tighttting lid, a cookie sheet or a at tray. For aming grease outside
of the pan, smother it with baking soda or use a dry chemical or
foam-type re extinguisher.
Never allow clothing, pot holders or other ammable materials •
come in contact with or be close to any grate, burner or hot sur-
face until it has fully cooled. Never wear loose tting or hanging

garments while using your side burner. Fabric may ignite and result
in personal injury.
Only use dry pot holders and do not use a towel or other bulky •
cloth in place of pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders used on
hot surfaces can cause burns.
Do not heat any unopened glass or metal container of food on •
the side burner. Pressure may build up and cause the container to
burst, possibly resulting in serious personal injury or damage to
the side burner.
Do not reach over your side burner when hot or in use.•
Maintenance and Repair
Spiders and other i• nsects can nest in the burners of the side burner
and block the gas and airow to the burner ports. This creates a
dangerous condition that can result in a re behind the valve pan-
el. Inspect and clean the burners periodically and follow the guidelines in the Cleaning and Maintenance section of this manual.
Unless specically recommended in this manual, do not repair or •
replace any part of the side burner. A qualied technician should
perform all service. Any repairs made by a non-L.M.S. approved
dealer technician will void your warranty.
Storage
When your side burner is not in use, turn off the gas at the supply •
cylinder.
Safety Instructions
Precautions Regarding Children

Installation / Assembly
Owners must not convert their side burners themselves. Attempting to convert the side burner from LP to NG may result
in serious injury and will void the warranty coverage.
If you do not have an updated ller valve on your existing propane tank,
you will need to purchase one at your local hardware store. Without it
you will not be able to attach your tank to your Cal Flame side burner
or rell the tank at your local propane rell station.
Gas Requirements and Connection
IMPORTANT: The Cal Flame side burner is manufactured to operate
on liquid propane (LP). However, it can be converted to operate on
natural gas (NG) by an authorized service technician. Consult your Cal
Flame dealer for information on converting your side burner.

Leak Testing Procedure
Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In addition, whenever the gas
cylinder is connected to the side burner or whenever any part of the
gas system is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your side
burner outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never smoke or permit
sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use
a ame, such as a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of
soapy water.
Installation / Assembly
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a 1.
spray bottle one part liquid soap to one part water.
Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.2.
Turn on the gas.3.
Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas 4.
delivery system. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates
that a leak is present.
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the 5.
faulty part with a replacement part recommended by the manu-
facturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is dam-
aged. The cylinder must be replaced.
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.6.
If you are unable to stop a leak:
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.1.
Shut off the gas supply to the side burner and release pressure 2.
in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any of the
control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the side burner.3.
Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas 4.
dealer.
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.
