Safety Instructions blocked. Fresh air must be able to pass though installed vents to safeguard against residual gas accumulation. Failure to allow proper ventilation may cause fire 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, fire or explosion can occur.
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 flat 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 flame. This can scorch utensils and hamper cleanup. Excessive flames 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 flammable materials, and spillage due to accidental contact with the utensils.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the appliance off and smother the flaming pan with a tight-fitting lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray. For flaming grease outside of the pan, smother it with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Never allow clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or be close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has fully cooled. Never wear loose fitting 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 insects can nest in the burners of the grill and block the gas and airflow to the burner ports. This creates a dangerous condition that can result in a fire behind the valve panel. Inspect and clean the burners periodically and follow the guidelines in the Cleaning and Maintenance section of this manual.
Unless specifically recommended in this manual, do not repair or replace any part of the grill. A qualified technician should perform all service. Any repairs made by a non- C.A.I. 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 flat 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 five. 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 C.A.I. qualified 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 traffic paths, and windows that open into the home.
Locate barbecue grills and stainless steel carts only in well-ventilated areas and only on solid, flat 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 flat and level. When determining the final location of your grill, adequate cross ventilation must be present to prevent gas from being trapped in the event of a leak.
The drawings below show the different types of cabinet cut-out dimensions for gas grills and accessories.

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 filler 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 refill the tank at your local propane refill 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 flame, such as a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.
1.
2.
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to one part water.
Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.
3.
Turn on the gas.
a.
On natural gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the grill.
b.
On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open.
4.
5.
6.
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 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 position.
If you are unable to stop a leak:
1.
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.
2.
Shut off the gas supply to the grill and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any of the control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
3.
4.
On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the grill.
Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer.
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.

Operating Your Barbecue
Read all instructions before you operate your grill .
•
We recommend you wash your entire grill with soap and water prior to lighting it for the first time. Oils are used during the manufacturing process and some residual oil may still be on the stainless steel parts of your grill. Washing will reduce the possibility of discoloration. We also recommend you keep your grill covered when not in use. This will minimize the amount of dust and dirt that accumulates on your grill and extend the life of your grill.
•
Remember to use your Cal Flame grill safely by following these reminders:
It is dangerous to use barbecue grills and side burners in any manner other than for what it is designed for.
Do not use charcoal in a gas grill or side burner or electric grill.
•
•
•
Do not heat sealed containers such as cans or jars on grills or side burners. Explosion may result resulting in injury or death. Any sealed container, such as a pressure cooker, must have a properly operating pressure relieve valve to minimize explosion hazard.
Never put combustible material such as paper, cloth, or flammable liquids on your grill at any time.
Do not use grill, side shelves, cabinets, or any area around grill to store flammable materials.
Never operate main burners and rear infrared convection burners at the same time. Excessive grill temperatures will result. Never allow your grill temperatures to exceed 500° F.

Basic Grill Operation
Before lighting, make sure all burner controls are off.
Do not attempt to light the burners if the smell of gas is present. Check the connection with a soap and water solution after attaching the hose. For LP units, make sure there is gas in the tank and it is sitting upright. For natural gas units, make sure the shut off valve is on.
1.
2.
Make sure the drip tray is in place.
Light the grill burners using the instructions on the previous page.
3.
4.
Turn the control knob to HIGH and preheat the grill for 15 minutes. Close the top cover during the appliance preheat period.
Place the food on the grill and cook to desired completion. Adjust heat setting if necessary. You may set the control knob to any position between
HIGH and LOW.
5.
Allow the grill to cool and clean the drip tray after each use.
Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
Cooking with the Rotisserie
The rotisserie burner is an infrared type, which provides intense searing radiant heat. It is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The location of the burner allows the placement of a rotisseriebasting pan (NOT included) beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy.
The rotisserie does not require and additional outlet as it is powered by a 12-volt input located on the side of the grill connected with a sainless steel sheathed power cable.
1.
To load the rotisserie rod, hold the handle firmly while sliding one of the fork assemblies (prongs facing away from the handle) onto the rod. Push the rod through the center of the food, then slide the other holder (prongs toward the food) onto the rod. Center the meat on the rod and push the fork assemblies firmly together. Tighten the thumbscrews. To secure any loose portions of your meat, use butcher string (never use nylon or plastic string). Place a basting pan under the food to collect the drippings.
2.
3.
4.
To use the rotisserie, first mount the motor on the left side of the grill. Place securely onto support bracket.
The rod of the rotisserie system is assembled into the motor by placing the pointed end into the motor and resting the threaded end on the support at the side of the grill. Once the rod is pushed as far as possible into the motor, the grooved end of the rod should rest on the right side bracket.
If necessary, to offset unbalanced loads, slide the counter weight on to the rod. With the counter weight loose, allow the loaded rod to rotate and come to a stop. Now rotate the counter weight above the rod in a vertical position and tighten the thumbscrew. You can slide the counter weight away from or closer to the rotisserie rod as needed for balanced operation. Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in about one minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about five minutes.

Charcoal Grill
Lighting Instructions
NEVER use flammable materials and fluids such as gasoline, kerosene, butane or propane, diesel fuel, or alcohol to light or re-light fires. Keep the grill away from such substances when lit.
Use high quality hardwood charcoal to ensure a good flame. Charcoal briquettes made from maple, oak, birch, or elm woods will burn cleanly, minimizing smoke and unpleasant odors.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Open the hood and remove cooking grates.
Place charcoal on the ashtray at the bottom of grill and arrange charcoal in a pyramid shaped stack.
Add charcoal lighting fluid according to manufacturer’s instructions. Let it stand for about a minute to let fluid penetrate charcoal.
Carefully light charcoal, allowing it to burn approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until a light gray ash develops.
Leave about a one-half inch space between each piece of charcoal. This helps to avoid flare-ups from the meat juices and provides the even heat best suited for grilling.
Grilling
NEVER allow children or pets unattended in an area where a grill is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. When in use, certain areas of the grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
Leave the hood open for “Texas Style” open air grilling.
Close the hood for “Smoker” cooking.
For the greatest concentration of heat, leave the hood open. Adjust the crank handle to lift the charcoal tray up so the burning charcoal will be close to the grilling meat. Lower the charcoal tray to slow the grilling temperature.
Storage
Never store the grill with ashes or combustible materials inside. Do not store the grill until the fire is completely extinguished and the grill body has cooled.
Turning on and off the Lights and Fan
The ON / OFF switch controlling your halogen light is located at the control panel on the front lower left side.
Certain models of the Cal Flame grill are equipped with either one or two halogen light.
Your grill is equipped with a grounded (3 prong) 120
VAC plug located in the lower left rear corner of your cart and must be plugged into a permanent grounded
120 VAC outlet with a dedicated 15amp GFI breaker.
DO NOT cut or remove the ground prong as this may result in fire, electrical shock or other personal injury.
This electrical source provides power to the lights.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning and Maintenance
To ensure safe and proper maintenance, we recommend you follow these directions carefully.
Clean internal parts of the grill regularly as determined by the amount of use and foods cooked. The entire grill should be cleaned at least once a year.
In addition, keep the area around your grill or cart clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
If your LP-gas grill is placed in a stationary barbecue island, keep the access door for the propane cylinder clear of any obstruction. Ensure the ventilation opening for cylinder enclosure is kept clear.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE
CLEANING ANY PART OF THE GRILL.
Burners
Spiders and small insects occasionally inhabit or make nests in the burner tubes, obstructing the gas flow.
Sometimes this results in a type of fire in and around the gas tubes called “flashback”. To reduce the risk of flashback, this procedure should be followed at least once a month or when your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT: Prior to starting this procedure, turn OFF all of the gas control knobs, shut off the fuel supply, and disconnect the fuel line.
1.
2.
Remove burners from the grill by carefully lifting each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.
Use a wire brush to clean the outer surface of each burner to remove food residue and dirt. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire such as an opened paper clip.
3.
4.
Inspect each burner for damage (cracks and holes). If any damage is found, replace the burner and discontinue grill usage.
Upon reinstallation, inspect the gas valve orifices for cleanliness and condition and the location of the igniters.
Drip Pan
The full width drip pan will collect grease from the main grill area. The pan should be cleaned after every use to avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Be sure to allow the drip pan to cool prior to cleaning. You may clean the drip pan with a solution of warm soapy water. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid staining.
Care of Stainless Steel
Do NOT use wire wool pads, scrappers, harsh abrasive, scoring materials, bleaches, or harsh cleaners on your cart or grill, or allow salt and vinegar mixtures to remain in contact for a long period of time.
This will cause scratching, scoring, rusting and pitting.
We recommend that you clean stainless steel components with a cleaner that is approved for stainless steel and only clean when the grill is cool and in indirect light. Never use steel wool.
Covering Your Cart or Grill
When not in use and after cooling, cover your cart or grill with our full length, zippered side canvas cover.
(See your local Cal Flame dealer for details.) The cover will help protect your cart or grill from detrimental effects of weather and environmental pollutants. Never put a cover on a hot grill. Allow the grill to cool before covering.
After Use Care
•
•
•
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame.
Scrub the grill rack with a brass bristle barbecue brush and hot soapy water.
Wipe the grill with a damp soapy cloth and rinse with warm/hot, clean water. For more tenacious deposits, including oil, grease and water-borne deposits, use a multipurpose cream cleanser and apply with a soft, damp cloth.
Dry with a soft, dry, clean towel if preferred.

Ash Removal
Remove the ashes as soon as possible after each use.
Wait until the charcoal has cooled, slide out the drip pan and pour out the ashes. You can save the larger pieces of charcoal for the next time you cook. Use a garden hose to wash out accumulated grease and ashes. Allow the drip pan to dry before reinserting into the grill.

Cooking Grates
Use a solution equal parts detergent and hot water just as you would for any cooking equipment. A stiff brush may also be helpful in removing grime and food deposits.

Drop-in Food Warmer
To prevent burns or injury, make sure the food warmer is completely cool before cleaning. The drop in food warmer is made from non-magnetic, 304 grade stainless steel. There are various stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, and always scrub in the direction of the grain. Soapy water should be sufficient for most cleaning. All parts of the food warmer can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed with a heavy pile cloth.. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and to wipe dry to avoid watermarks.
Note: DO NOT use oven cleaners or abrasive cleaners on enameled surfaces. They may damage the finish, causing accelerated wear.
30” Food Warmer
Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance, particularly the drawer box and back of the drawer face. All parts of the drawer can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed with a heavy pile cloth. Always try this first, as it is the mildest cleaning procedure.
Be sure the warming drawer is turned off and the appliance is cooled before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
Use the mildest cleaning procedure first. Some brands of cleaners are harsher than others, read their directions. Try in a small area first.
To avoid marring the surface always rub the metal finishes in the direction of the polish grain lines.
The cleaner will be more effective when used in the direction of the polished lines.

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:
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:
Plugged orifice
Solution:
Unplug the orifice as follows:
•
Remove cooking grills, flame tamer 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: 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 knob(s) 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.
