the specied clearances listed in this manual.
Never line the pizza oven with aluminum foil.•
Do not install or operate your pizza oven 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 or wood in the pizza •

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
pizza oven be performed by LMS qualied installers and service technicians to ensure proper operation and prevent accidents.
When planning the location of your Cal Flame pizza oven, consider ac-
Installation / Assembly
cess to gas lines. The location with the shortest gas line run is recommended.
When determining a suitable location, consider factors such as expo-
sure to wind, proximity to trafc paths, and windows that open into
the home.
Locate your pizza oven only in a well-ventilated area and only on a
solid, at foundation (e.g. deck or cement slab). Do NOT place stainless steel carts on dirt or grass.
We recommend that a licensed contractor install your Cal Flame™ pizza
oven. 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.
Before installing a built-in pizza oven in an enclosure, copy all product
information such as model number, serial number and type of fuel (e.g.
natural gas or LP) and store information in a safe place. This informa-
tion is located on a plate located behind the pizza oven 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.

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 pizza oven
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 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.
On natural gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the pizza
oven.
On 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 4.
delivery system. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates
that a leak is present.
5
Installation / Assembly
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the 5.
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 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 pizza oven 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 pizza oven.3.
Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas 4.
dealer.
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.

Gas Requirements and Connection
IMPORTANT: Cal Flame™ pizza ovens are manufactured to operate
on liquid propane (LP) but can be converted to natural gas (NG). To
verify the oven’s operating fuel, check the serial number label in the
back of the chassis. Either LP or NG will be marked on the operating
tab, indicating the proper operating fuel.
Always check the rating plate to make sure the gas supply you are
hooking up to is the gas type the pizza oven 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™
Installation / Assembly
pizza oven or rell the tank at your local propane rell station.
LP Gas
Tank Requirements
Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane is 14” WC (3.5 kPa).
Minimum line pressure for propane is 11” WC.
The pizza oven must be used with the gas pressure regulator. The
regulator will control and maintain a uniform gas pressure in the mani-
fold. The burner orices have been sized for the gas pressure delivered
by the regulator.
WARNING: Attempting to operate the pizza oven unit without the gas
regulator installed could cause an explosion and possible death.
CylinderSpecication
Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this pizza oven must be constructed and marked in accordance with either:
Specications for LP-Gas Cylinders• of the U.S. Department
of Transportation, or
National Standard of Canada, • CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods; and Commission.
The LP cylinder 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.

LP Gas Hook Up
Vent the enclosure for an LP gas cylindar with openings at the level of
the cylinder valve and at the oor level.
Ensure one side of the enclosure is completely open.
For enclosures that have four sides, complete with a top and bottom:
At least two ventilation openings at cylinder valve less than •
one square inch per pound (7.1 cm²/kg) of stored fuel capacity and
not less than a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5cm²). If
ventilation openings at oor level are in a sidewall, there shall be
at least two openings. The bottom of the openings shall be at oor
level and the upper edge no more than 5 inches (127 mm) above
the oor. The openings shall be equally sized, spaced at 180º (3.14
rad) and unobstructed.
Every opening shall have minimum dimensions so as to permit the •
entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) diameter rod.
Transporting and Storing LP Gas
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.
7
Installation / Assembly
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.
