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 or cart 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 or cart. 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 •
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 grill for oth• er than intended use.
In the event that a burner goes out, turn burner •
knobs to the full OFF position, fully open the grill
hood and let it air out. Do not attempt to use the grill
until the gas has had time to dissipate.
Never use the grill if the drip pan is not properly •
installed. Drip pan should be pushed all the way to
the rack located just under the grill. Fire or explosion
can result from an improperly installed drip pan.
Keep all electrical supply cords and the rotisserie •
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.
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 cart or cabinet. Do not drop LP
connectors.
Do not use fuel such as charcoal briquettes in •
electric or 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, 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.
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 i• nsects 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-L.M.S. 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 or cart 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 or cart.
Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of •
the grill or cart.
Carts
Do not attempt to move the stainless steel cart while •
it is hot or in use.
It is extremely important to lock all caster wheels •
even on at surfaces.
Do not lean, sit or stand on the stainless steel cart, •
including the foldout work surfaces.
Do not exceed 50 pounds of weight on the foldout •
work surfaces.

Installation / Assembly
Installation / Assembly
Most cities and counties require permits for exterior
construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some
communities have codes requiring residential barriers
such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to
prevent unsupervised access to the property by children
under the age of ve. Your dealer can provide information
on which permits may be required and how to obtain
them prior to the delivery of your equipment.
We recommend the installation, adjustment and service
of your new grill be performed by L.M.S. qualied
installers and service technicians to ensure proper
operation and prevent accidents.
When planning your Cal Flame™ grill or cart location,
access to gas lines and 110V power supplies should be
considered. The location with the shortest gas line run
is recommended. A grounded, dedicated, 15A, 110V,
GFCI power source is required 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 barbecue grills and stainless steel carts only in
well-ventilated areas and only on solid, at foundations
(e.g. deck or cement slab). Do NOT place stainless steel
carts on dirt or grass.
Cabinet Cut-out Dimensions
Your Cal Flame™ grill is designed for easy installation
into a non-combustible enclosure. The supporting deck
or counter must be at and level. When determining the
nal location of your grill, adequate cross ventilation
must be present to prevent gas from being trapped in
the event of a leak.

Gas Requirements and Connection
IMPORTANT: Cal Flame™ grills are manufactured to operate on either liquid propane (LP) or natural gas
(NG) and cannot be converted. To verify the grill’s operating fuel, check the serial number label in the back of
the chassis as you are looking at the grill from the front. Either LP or NG will be marked on the operating tab,
indicating the proper operating fuel. Attempting to convert Cal Flame™ grills from one fuel to another may result
in serious injury and will void the warranty coverage.
Always check the rating plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the grill is
manufactured for.
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™ grill or rell the tank
at your local propane rell station.

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
regulator 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 grill 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.
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by 1.
mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to one
part water.
Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF 2.
position.
Turn on the gas.3.
On a. natural gas systems, turn the main feed
valve to the grill.
On b. LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob
counter clockwise one turn to open.
Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on
joints of the gas delivery system. Blowing bubbles in
the soap solution indicates that a leak is present.
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by 5.
replacing the faulty part with a replacement part
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt
to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged. The
cylinder must be replaced.
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF 6.
position.
If you are unable to stop a leak:
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF 1.
position.
Shut off the gas supply to the grill and release 2.
pressure 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 3.
grill.
Call an authorized gas appliance service technician 4.
or an LP gas dealer.
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.
