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.
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.
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.
Keep any electrical supply cords and the fuel •
supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
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 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.
Safety Instructions
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 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 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.

The Cal Flame G4 grill is expected to be use with a Cal Flame barbecue island. If the G4 grill used
separately from barbecue island that it is sold with, it must be used in a safe manner that will not
void your warranty. If you plan to do this, contact Cal Flame customer service for information on
the construction and materials required for the grill enclosure. Cal Flame wishes our customers to
enjoy our products safely and without voiding the warranty.
Placing your barbecue island in a safe location
Here are some of the things that you will need to know when determining where to place your new barbecue
island. Be certain that your installation will meet all city and local safety codes and requirements.
Cal Flame grills are designed for outdoor use only.
Enclosures and Awnings
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.
Preparing the Site for the Barbecue Island
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.

Ventilation and Access
Locate the 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.
If you place your barbecue island close to a wall or fence, make sure you allow room for ventilation. Also,
make sure you have easy access to the storage under the grill and to the refrigerator.

Overhead Hazards Plan for Your Environment
Do not place your barbecue island near trees and
shrubs.
Maintain sufcient distance as to not overheat any
overhead combustible material.
Maintain sufcient distance as to not overheat any
overhead combustible material. We recommend a
minimum distance of six feet, measured from the
top of the grill hood. Check with local inspectors and
your homeowner’s association.
To reduce the risk of personal injury caused by
reaching over a hot appliance, avoid locating cabinet
storage space directly above the outdoor grill.
Consider factors such as exposure to wind, proximity
to trafc paths, and windows that open into the
home.
Access to gas lines should be considered. If you are
using natural gas, the location with the shortest gas
line run is recommended.
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.
Preparing the Site 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 and electrical service stub-ups for your barbecue
island to connect to. The size and shape of the base of
the barbecue island is called a footprint. It also shows
suggested locations for your stub-ups.
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. Damage due
to placing the island on an improper foundation is not
covered under your warranty.
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.

Electrical Requirements
5
Preparing the Site for the Barbecue Island
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.
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 10 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!

Gas Requirements
Converting Gas Grills
IMPORTANT: Cal Flame G Series gas grills are manufactured to operate on liquid propane (LP). However,
they can be converted to operate on natural gas (NG) by an authorized service technician. The grill that
comes with your LBK-10-SW barbecue island does not include the parts for converting to NG. The gas
conversion kit for Cal Flame grills can be ordered separately. Grill conversion instructions can be found
on page 28 and ordering information can be found in this manual on page 31. The part number for the
conversion kit is BBQ07101045.
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.
The grill must be used with the gas pressure regulator.
Preparing the Site for the Barbecue Island
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
in accordance with the Specications for LP-Gas
Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSAB339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
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.
Store cylinders outdoors and out of reach of children.
Do not store cylinders in a building, garage, or any
other enclosed area.
Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever
the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust
cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with
the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane.

to the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a-1998.
Installation in Canada must be in accordance with
the standard CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane Installation
Code.
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.
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.
7
Preparing the Site for the Barbecue Island
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.
NG Regulator
The grill for use with natural gas comes equipped
with its own regulator that MUST NOT be removed.
If this regulator needs to be replaced, use only the
type specied by for this appliance.
IMPORTANT: Never connect the grill to an
unregulated gas supply.
Shut-off Valve
Ensure that the service supplying the grill is tted
with a shut off valve conveniently positioned near
the grill and giving ease of access.
The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 0.5
psi (3.5 kPa).
