gas supplier or your re department.
on the right side of the chassis. There is an area
on the back cover of this manual where you can
write down this information.
• We recommend that a licensed contractor install
your Cal Flame™ grill. 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.
• Your Cal Flame™ grill must be plugged into a
permanent, grounded 110V outlet with a dedicated
15A GFCI breaker in accordance with local codes
or the National Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA
70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA
C22.1.
• Do not use an extension cord to supply power to
your Cal Flame™ grill. Such use may result in re,
electrical shock or other personal injury. Do not
install a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. A
fuse in the neutral or ground circuit may result
in an electrical shock hazard. Do not ground this
appliance to a gas supply pipe or hot water pipe.
Keep any electrical supply cords and the fuel
supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
• To prevent re and smoke damage, remove all
packaging material before operating grill.
• Before you start cooking, clean the entire grill

motor cord away from the heated areas of the
grill.
• Never use the grill or side burner in windy
conditions. If used in a consistently windy area a
windbreak will be required. Always adhere to the
specied clearances listed in this manual.
• Never line the grill or side burners with aluminum
foil.
• When the unit is not in use, be sure to turn off the
gas at the LP tank.
Safety Instructions
• Do not install or operate your grill unit in such
a manner that the cross ventilation openings are
blocked. Fresh air must be able to pass though
installed vents to safeguard against residual gas
accumulation. Failure to allow proper ventilation
may cause re or explosion.
• When handling LP gas line and connectors,
do not allow them to come in contact with any
metal surfaces of the cabinet. Do not drop LP
connectors.
• Do not use fuel such as charcoal briquettes in gas
grills.
• Gas sources to the grill and side burners must be
regulated. Do not operate grill or side burners if
regulators have been removed, re or explosion
can occur.
• Never leave the grill and side burners unattended
when in use. When using pots and pans, boilovers 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. Excessive 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 adjacent 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 tight-tting 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 surface until
it has fully cooled. Never wear loose tting or
hanging garments while using your grill. Fabric
may ignite and result in personal injury.
• When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack,
burner grate, or immediate surroundings as these
areas become extremely hot and can cause burns.
Use handles or knobs.
• 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 grill. Pressure may build up and
cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in
serious personal injury or damage to the grill.
• Do not reach over your grill or any other surfaces
when hot or in use.
Maintenance and Repair
• Spiders and other insects can nest in the burners
of the grill and block the gas and airow to the
burner ports. This creates a dangerous condition
that can result in a re behind the valve panel.
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 grill. A
qualied technician should perform all service.
Any repairs made by a non-LMS approved dealer
technician will void your warranty.
Storage
• When your gas grill is not in use, turn off the gas
at the supply cylinder.
• Storage of a grill indoors is permissible only if the
supply cylinder is disconnected and removed.
Precautions Regarding Children
• Never leave children unattended in the area
where the grill is being used. Close supervision of
children is necessary when any appliance is use
near children.
• Do not store items of interest to children around
or below the grill.
• Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of
the grill.

Proper Location of the Grill
3
Here are some general considerations when
determining where to place your new barbecue island.
Be certain that your installation will meet all city and
local safety codes and requirements.
When planning your Cal Flame grill location, access
to gas lines and 110V power supplies should be
considered. If you are using natural gas, the location
with the shortest gas line run is recommended. You
may need a grounded, dedicated, 15A 110V GFCI
power source for use of your appliances (e.g., lights,
rotisserie, refrigerator, receptacles, etc.).
When determining a suitable location, consider factors
such as exposure to wind, proximity to trafc paths,
and windows that open into the home.
Locate the grill enclosure any place where there is
adequate ventilation. The size and conguration of
your house and yard will determine how you should
locate your grill enclosure, but as a general rule, do
not place it under or near windows that can be opened
into your home. Ventilation is address in greater detail
in the next section.
The sides, bottom and back of the grill enclosure
should not be any closer than 24” to combustible
construction.
To reduce the risk of personal injury caused by
reaching over a hot appliance, avoid locating cabinet
storage space directly above the outdoor grill.
Cal Flame grills are designed for outdoor use
only.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
This appliance can produce carbon
monoxide which has no odor.
Using it in an enclosed
space can kill you.
Never use this appliance in
an enclosed space such as a
camper, tent, car, or home.
Proper Location of teh Grill
Ensuring Proper Ventilation
Do not locate your barbecue island in an enclosed
area, which is any covered area that is walled on two,
three, or four sides. This includes areas or rooms such
as a garage, shed, breezeway, patio, cabana, etc.
Although some enclosed areas may have
windows, screens, or ventilation systems, they
are nevertheless considered to be hazardous
and may cause damage, injury,
or death. Enclosed areas are NOT
approved for a barbecue island.
• Solid foundation
• Open on three sides
• Minimum distance of
six feet overhead from
combustible material
• Overhead is not sealed
• Not placed near windows
• No overhead storage
Do not locate your barbecue island under a sealed
overhead structure. Acceptable overhead structures
allow for airow, such as screen or lattice.
You can install an awning over your barbecue island,
provided you make sure it is high enough to prevent
damage or re. We recommend a minimum overhead
distance of six feet from the top of the grill hood.
• No combustible materials
stored nearby

Gas and Electrical Supply Requirements
Gas Requirements
Gas Requirements and Connection
IMPORTANT: The Cal Flame grill is manufactured to operate on liquid propane (LP). However, it can be
converted to operate on natural gas (NG) by an authorized service technician.
This barbecue grill does not include the parts for converting to NG. The gas conversion kit can be ordered
separately. The part number for the conversion kit is BBQ07101045. Grill conversion instructions can be
found on page 32 and ordering information can be found in this manual on page 37.
Liquid Propane
Tank Requirements
For plumbed-in LP installation, use a convertible
regulator and set it for LP gas.
Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane
is 14” WC (3.5 kPa). Minimum line pressure for
propane is 11” WC.
Gas and Electrical Supply Requirements
The grill must be used with the gas pressure
regulator. The regulator will control and maintain a
uniform gas pressure in the manifold. The burner
orices have been sized for the gas pressure
delivered by the regulator.
WARNING: Attempting to operate the grill unit
without the gas regulator installed could cause an
explosion and possible death.
CylinderSpecication
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked

Commission, as applicable.
Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this grill must
be approximately 12 inches in diameter and 18 inches
high.
The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5
gallons. Full cylinder weight should be approximately
38 lbs. (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.) Never ll
the cylinder beyond 80% full.
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 grill or rell the
tank at your local propane rell station.
Transporting and Storing LP Gas
Transport only one cylinder at a time. Ensure the
cylinder is secured in an upright position with the
control valve turned off and the dust cap in place.

To determine the current, voltage, and wire size
required for the island conguration to be connected,
refer to the following:
• Wire size is determined by length of run from
breaker box to the barbecue island and maximum
current draw.
• We recommend copper wire with THHN insulation.
• All wiring must be copper to ensure adequate
connections. Do not use aluminum wire.
• When NEC requires the use of wires larger than #6
(10mm²), install a junction box near the barbecue
island and use #6 (10mm²) wire between the
junction box and the grill enclosure.

Installation and Connection
Connecting the Grill and Side Burner
These instructions show you how to connect a grill only or a grill and side burner combination.
If you plan to convert to your grill from LP to NG, you need to do this before it is connected to a gas source.
Grill conversion instructions can be found on page 32 and ordering information can be found in this manual on
page 37. There are a few differences between connecting to LP and NG.
1. Place the Grill and Side Burner in the Cut-outs
You will need a second
person to help you to
avoid damaging the grill,
the transformer, or your
barbecue island.
Before installing a grill or side
burner in any island or cut out,
make sure that the opening is
not bigger than the outside
frame of the grill unit. The grill
should rest on the lip of the
frame. For drop-in accessories,
adequate cross ventilation must
be designed into enclosure
to ensure the drop-in grill or
side burner does not become
overheated.
11
Installation and Connection
Pay careful attention to the location of gas lines.
Gas lines should be routed away from sources of
heat and should make as few bends as possible.
Check to see if gas line connections will be accessible
when grill is installed.
• If gas line connections are not easily accessible
when the grill is installed, support the grill
above counter level and attach the gas lines to
the grill. When the gas connections are made,
slide the grill into the cut out.
• If gas line connections are accessible when the
grill is installed, slide the grill into the cut out
and then attach the gas lines.
Be very careful not to kink gas lines when lowering the
grill or side burner into the cut out.
Keep your ngers away from where the grill will be
supported on counter. Your ngers could become
trapped and serious injury could occur.
Check to make sure the grill is level and is supported
around the entire outside edge. If the grill is not level
or is unstable, use non-combustible shims under the
outside lip to stabilize it.
Perform the leak test procedure as described earlier
in this manual.
