California Proposition 65 Warning: Chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm
are found in and/or created by the
combustion of natural gas, propane,
butane and other fuels. Always operate this unit as described in the
owner’s manual and in well ventilated areas.
Planning the Best Location
Here are some of the things that you will need to consider when determining where to place your new barbecue island.
Safety First
Do not place your barbecue island near trees and shrubs.
Be certain that your installation will meet all city and local safety codes and
requirements.
Consider How You Will Use Your Barbecue Island
Your barbecue island is mainly used for family recreation. Be sure to leave
plenty of room around it for activity.
Ventilation and Access
If you place your barbecue island close to a wall or fence, make sure you
allow room for ventilation. Also, if you have storage areas in your barbecue
island, make sure they can be conveniently accessed.
Enclosures and Awnings
Your barbecue island is for outdoor use ONLY.
You can locate your barbecue island any place where there is adequate
ventilation. The size and conguration of your house and yard will determine
how you should locate your barbecue island, but as a general rule, do not
place it under or near windows that can be opened into your home.
1
Do not locate your barbecue island in an enclosed room such as a garage,
shed, or breezeway or under a sealed overhead structure.
You can place your barbecue island in your patio as long as there is
adequate ventilation and no re risk. We do not recommend placing your
barbecue island in any enclosed area, that is, any covered area that is
walled on two, three or four sides.
You can install an awning over your barbecue island, provided you make
sure it is high enough to prevent damage or re. Maintain sufcient distance
as to not overheat any overhead combustible material. We recommend
you check with local inspectors and your homeowner’s association.
Plan for Your Environment
If you live in a region where it snows in the winter or rains frequently,
place the barbecue island near a house entry. Consider adding a covered
walkway from your barbecue island to your house or patio.

Preparing a Good Foundation
Your barbecue island needs a solid and level foundation. Damage
caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered
by the warranty. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide a proper
foundation for the barbecue island.
If you do not already have a location for your barbecue island, we
recommend you have a concrete slab prepared to accommodate it.
There are several advantages of having a permanent slab, including
stability, levelness, and it eliminates sagging.
As you prepare your slab, this is the best time to run gas, electrical, and
water lines and locate stub-ups for your barbecue island to connect
to. The size and shape of the base of the barbecue island is called a
footprint.
Footprint drawings show the actual dimensions of the base and
suggested locations for your stub-ups. Footprint drawings for each
model can be found in in the Cal Flame Barbecue Island Pre-Delivery
Guide, available from your dealer, the Cal Flame web site, or through
Cal Flame customer service.
Although a permanent slab is recommended, you can place your
barbecue island on a prepared surface with bricks or pavers. We
do not recommend you place your barbecue island on gravel, sand,
timbers, dirt or grass because these surfaces have the potential to
become unstable or uneven. Your barbecue island should always be
on a stable, at, level surface.
You can put your barbecue island on a deck provided it is rated to
support the full weight of your barbecue island, grill, and all accessories.
We recommend you have a contractor or structural engineer examine
your deck to determine whether it can bear the load of your barbecue
island.
Your Cal Flame retailer can help you with your foundation and more.
Your retailer has a wealth of information and experience about how to
get the most out of your barbecue island and can provide you with a
full line of accessories that are designed to complement your barbecue
island and increase your enjoyment.

Electrical Requirements
You do not need to hire a contractor to install your electrical service,
but you must ensure you have all required permits and the installation
complies with State and local code. We recommend you hire a certied
contractor if you do not wish to do the installation yourself.
If your dealer is not a certied contractor, you will need to hire a
contractor for installation of your electrical service.
When installed in the United States, the electrical wiring must meet the
requirements of National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 and any
applicable state or local codes. The electrical circuit must be installed
by an electrical contractor and approved by a local building / electrical
inspector.
Supplying power to a barbecue island that is not in accordance with
these instructions will void both the independent testing agency listing
and the manufacturer’s warranty.
The power supplied to the barbecue island must be on a dedicated
circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the power.
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.
3
• 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 barbecue island.
120 Volt Electrical Installation
For 120V grills, you need a dedicated 120V 20 amp grounded electrical
service.
There will be a 110V power outlet inside the barbecue island. Using
romax or similar grounded, shielded wire, connect the outlet to the
electrical service in the stub-up.
If the circuit breaker trips while the barbecue island is in use, reset it.
If it does not reset, contact a licensed electrician for service. DO NOT
USE THE BARBECUE ISLAND!

Natural Gas Installation
You do not need to hire a contractor to install your natural gas service,
but you need to make sure you have all required permits and ensure
the installation complies with State and local code. We recommend
you hire a certied contractor if you do not wish to do the installation
yourself.
If your dealer is not a certied contractor, you will need to hire a
contractor for installation of your gas service.
The natural gas pipe from your house to the location of your barbecue
island needs to be ¾” and terminate with a shut-off valve with a
½” male tting. Check with a contractor or your local inspector for
requirements.

Water and Drainage Installation
If you have a sink or ice maker installed, there are several ways you
can provide water and drainage to your barbecue island. A contractor
can help you decide on the best solution for your needs. You are
responsible for ensuring all plumbing and drainage complies with State
and local codes.
Water Sources
Garden hose -- This is by far the easiest way of getting water to your
barbecue island. You have two options:
• You can bring the hose through the front access door and attach it
underneath the sink when you need it, or
• You can bury the length of the hose and bring it up beneath the
barbecue island in the same manner as the gas and electrical stubups. Once you connect it to your sink, you won’t need to remove
it.
½” cold water pipe -- Plumb a single ½” cold water pipe from your
house plumbing to a stub-up beneath the sink.
Hot water plumbing -- You have many options for plumbing your sink for
hot water, including tapping from your house’s hot water tank, installing
a tankless point-of-use water heater, and installing a solar water heater.
Consider several factors to nd a solution that best addresses your
needs, including your water consumption, electrical power supply, and
drainage. A contractor can help you best with this.
5
Drainage
Five gallon bucket -- Place a ve gallon bucket beneath the sink drain.
This solution has the advantage of being inexpensive and the least
trouble to maintain for winterizing your barbecue island.
Drain to your garden -- if your yard is on a slope, you can take advantage
of this feature by draining sink water to a place in your garden where
you can re-use the water.
Gray water drain -- Installing a line to drain to your house’s gray water
drainage may incur some cost and labor, but it may be your best solution
if you plan to locate your barbecue island in its place permanently.

Installation After Delivery
For more information on installing your grill and accessories, see the
grill owner’s manual.
Connection to Services
After your barbecue island is delivered, set in place, and the grill is
mounted, you will need to connect all of the services to your hardware.
If your dealer is not a certied contractor, you will need to hire a
contractor for this.
The natural gas line connects to the grill inside the island. As you are
facing the grill, the connection is located at the right rear side of the grill.
The stub-up will terminate with a valve and a ½” male tting. Connect
the exible tubing from the grill to the male tting.
Both the natural gas and the electrical service connect inside where
the grill outlet is located.
The voltage transformer can be mounted to any part of the frame where
it will not be in the way. Plug it into the 110V grounded outlet located
inside the barbecue island.
Side burners do not require a separate regulator. You can put in a tee
in the line after it comes out of the regulator. For detailed installation
instructions, see the grill and cart owner’s manual.
If you have a GPV3100, the sections will need to be connected before
you connect it to services. See the following instructions “Joining the
GPV3100 Sections”.
If you have a LBK870, see the following instructions “Arranging the
LBK870 Sections”.
LED Light Switch
The switch for the LED lights is located in a covered utility box on the
side of the barbecue island. Flip it up to turn all the lights on.

Joining the GPV3100 Sections
This applies only to Grand Pavillion model GPV3100.
Model GPV3100 is built in three sections to make delivery easier. When
they arrive, they will need to be bolted together. Use four bolts with four
nuts and washers to connect each section.
Place the three sections together as shown in the gure below. You
may nd it easiest to set the center section in place and move the two
side sections against it.
See the gure on the next page for an illustration of how the sections
are bolted together.
