Disconnect or shut off the gas line connect to the grill. Wait until the grill and burners are cool.

Through the access behind the grill, find the round stud and locking pin that locks the burner you want to remove. (See picture at right.)

Carefully remove the locking pin.

Lift the burner, raising the stud from the locking hole and pull the burner back carefully to release it from the ignition and gas supply valve.

Take the burner out of the grill and store it in a safe and dry place.

To replace burners, follow these steps in reverse.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Smell of gas is present

Solution: Check for loose connections in the gas line. Perform a leak test following the procedure described in this manual.

Problem: Burner does not ignite

Solution: Use the following procedure with the figure below.

Check the position of the sparker tip. It should be pointing forward towards the front of the burner.

• Make sure there is a blue spark at the electrode tip to the burner.

•

•

Make sure the igniter wire is connected firmly to the valve ignition device and the electrode.

Make sure the valve orifice is free of any debris, dust or grease.

•

•

Make sure the valve orifice is aligned inside the front hole of the burner.

If there is no spark at all, replace the electrode or igniter wire.

Note: Turn off the gas at the source while troubleshooting.

Problem: Plugged orifice

Solution: Unplug the orifice as follows:

•

•

•

Remove griddle and grease tray.

Remove burners from the bottom of the firebox by pulling the cotter pin from beneath the burner peg using a standard screwdriver or needle nose pliers.

Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas orifice.

•

•

•

Remove the orifice from the control valve.

Gently clear any obstruction with a fine wire.

Reinstall the orifice, reinstall the burners over the orifices, and seat each burner peg into position hole at the bottom ledge of the firebox.

•

•

Replace all cotter pins.

Replace cooking components and grease collectors.

If an obstruction is suspected in the control valve, contact your local Cal Flame dealer for assistance.

Problem: Burner tube is misaligned over the orifice

Solution: Reposition the burner tube so that it is properly seated over the orifice.

Problem: Obstruction in the gas line

Solution: Remove the fuel line from grill. (Do not smoke or perform any maintenance in the vicinity of an open flame.)

Open the gas valve for one second to blow out any debris. Close off the gas valve and reconnect the fuel line securely.

Problem: Yellow Flame

Solution: Once the entire burner is operating, check the flame color to be sure that it is mostly blue. Some yellow at the tips may be present due to impurities in the fuel. If the flame is golden or yellow in color, the reason could be seasoning salts, oil film, or other foreign matter on the burner.

Problem: Misalignment of Igniter on Burner

Solution: • Check for proper position of the electrode tip, which should be pointing forward towards the front of the burner and free of grease to allow proper sparking.

•

•

The ignition wire should be connected firmly to the valve ignition device and electrode. Replace the ignition wire if it is frayed or cracked.

With the gas supply closed and all control knobs set to the off position, check each position igniter individually for the presence of a spark at the electrode.

Push each knob in fully and rotate it about 1/4 turn to the left (counter-clockwise) until you hear a loud click. The trigger hitting the strike block should produce a blue spark at the electrode tip. Return control knob to the off position before checking the next igniter.

• While the grill is still hot, wait for a minimum of five minutes before commencing re-ignition. (This allows accumulated gas fumes to clear.) If all checks

/ corrections have been made and the gas grill still fails to operate properly, contact your local Cal

Flame dealer.

Problem: Flashback

Solution: When fire occurs in and around the burner tubes, immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the control knobs clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position. Wait until the grill has cooled off and then clean the burner tubes and burners as described on page of this manual.

Converting from LP to NG

WARNING! You must have an authorized service technician perform this procedure. If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. LMS Inc. will not be held responsible for an improperly converted gas grill.

25

All Cal Flame grills are manufactured as standard liquid propane

(LP) grills and can be converted to burn natural gas (NG). There are two steps required to convert a grill from LP to NG.

You must perform both steps.

Step 1: Switching the regulator behind the grill

Step 2: Changing the burner orifices

The kit contains two orifices to convert main burners. Your kit will have only the parts you need to convert your grill.

Before you begin, make certain the LP gas source has been disconnected from the grill. If you have a cart, you do not need to remove the grill from the cart.

To gain access to the NG regulator, tilt the grill forward.

Step 1: Switching the regulator behind the grill

The regulator in the image below has been removed from a grill to illustrate this procedure.

•

You will need:

1.

2.

3.

Remove the LP gas line.

Remove the cap fitting from the end of the NG gas regulator.

Place the cap fitting over the LP gas inlet.

•

•

13 mm open end wrench

Male flared fitting

(not provided)

Pipe compound suitable for natural gas

4. Insert a male flared fitting ( not provided) in the NG gas regulator.

www.calflamebbq.com

NOTE: A flared fitting is NOT included with your grill.

If you are attaching a flex hose to the regulator, you will need a fitting. The fitting requires a male flare on the input end with a

1/2” MPT on the output end. The flared male input end needs to be the size of your flex tubing.

You can also connect the regulator directly to your NG gas service, which will not require a flared fitting.

Step 2: Changing the burner orifices

1.

2.

Remove the griddle from the grill.

Remove the cotter pins from the end of the burners. The cotter pins are accessible from underneath the grill in the back in the accessory cabinet.

•

•

You will need:

6 mm socket or nut driver

Two 1.9 mm orifices

Pipe compound suitable for natural gas

3.

4.

Carefully remove the burner.

Using a 6mm socket or nut driver, remove the orifice for the burner.

5. Apply a small amount of pipe compound to the orifice threads.

6. Screw in the orifice until it is finger tight.

7.

8.

Tighten the orifice with the 6mm wrench.

Repeat the above steps for the remaining burners.

9. Replace the burners and griddle. (You do not need to replace the cotter pins if you do not wish to.)

Mark the rating plate

After conversion has been completed, mark the rating plate as NG with an indelible marker.
