•

•

•

•

•

•

•

In the event that a burner goes out, turn burner knobs to the full OFF position and let it air out. Do not attempt to use the side burner until the gas has had time to dissipate.

Keep all electrical supply cords and the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the side burner.

Never use the side burner in windy conditions. If used in a consistently windy area a windbreak will be required. Always adhere to the specifi ed clearances listed in this manual.

Never line the side burner with aluminum foil.

When the unit is not in use, be sure to turn off the gas at the source.

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 solid fuel such as charcoal briquettes.

Never leave the side burner unattended when in use. When using pots and pans, boil-overs will cause smoking and greasy boil-overs may ignite.

Always use the proper size pan. Select utensils with fl 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 fl ame. This can scorch utensils and hamper cleanup. Excessive fl 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 fl ammable materials, and spillage due to accidental contact with the utensils.

Do not use water on grease fi res. Never pick up a fl aming pan.

Turn the appliance off and smother the fl aming pan with a tightfi tting lid, a cookie sheet or a fl at tray. For fl aming grease outside of the pan, smother it with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fi re extinguisher.

We recommend you wash your side burner with soap and water prior to lighting it for the fi rst time. Oils are used during the manufacturing process and some residual oil may still be on the stainless steel parts of your side burner. Washing will reduce the possibility of discoloration.

We also recommend you keep your side burner covered when not in use. This will minimize the amount of dust and dirt that accumulates on your side burner and extend the life of your side burner.

Remember to use your Cal Flame side burner safely by following these reminders:

• It is dangerous to use side burners in any manner other than for what it is designed for.

•

Do not use charcoal in a side burner.

Do not heat sealed containers such as cans or jars on 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 fl ammable liquids on your side burner at any time. Do not use the side burner to store fl ammable materials.

Lighting the Side Burner

Each time you light the side burner, check the following:

• Inspect the hose before using the side burner. If there is excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to using the side burner. If you need a replacement hose, contact your Cal Flame dealer.

•

•

•

Ensure the area around the barbecue is clear of fl ammable substances such as gasoline, yard debris, wood, etc.

Ensure there is no blockage of the airfl ow through the vent space located below the face of the unit.

When using propane gas:

• Keep the special ventilation openings in the enclosure free and clear of debris .

Cleaning and Maintenance

To ensure safe and proper maintenance, we recommend you follow these directions carefully.

Clean the side burner regularly as determined by the amount of use and foods cooked. In addition, keep the area around your side burner clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other fl ammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the fl ow of combustion and ventilation air.

These instructions describe the best way to care for your stainless steel.

Although stainless steel will discolor and accumulate grime with regular use, it can keep its original shine with periodic cleaning. We strongly recommend using a surface protectant to prevent smudging and surface rust from accumulating.

The easiest way to clean the side burner is immediately after cooking is completed. Doing so will extend the life of your side burner, prevent grease fi res, and present a pleasant appearance while you cook.

Stainless Steel Care and Cleaning

All exposed stainless steel surfaces require special attention if you want to keep them looking clean and bright. Following these simple instructions will help avoid scratching or damaging the fi nish and keep your stainless steel attractive.

Do not use steel wool or wire brushes to scrub your side burner.

For light soil, use a damp sponge or cloth. For heavier stains, use a

Scotch-Brite scrubber or similar product.

www.calspas.com

Cal Flame Side Burners

LTR50001082, Rev. C

1 . Clean

2 .

Thoroughly clean stains, food, and grime using a sponge or damp cloth with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use Fantastik or Formula 409 to remove heavier soil.

Rinse

3 .

Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them completely with a clean towel. Do not allow stainless steel to air dry.

Polish

We strongly recommend that you apply a surface protectant to all exposed stainless steel surfaces.

Spray a small amount of WD-40 or Sheila Shine on a piece of paper towel and rub with the grain over the surface of the appliance. Using a clean terry cloth or paper towel, polish the appliance by rubbing with the grain until excess liquid is removed and the surface shines. It should not be oily to the touch, however some residue is acceptable.

Some people have reported that using lemon oil products such as Old

English furniture polish is effective for polishing stainless steel and protecting the surface.

17

Caution

Do not use WD-40 or Sheila Shine near food or on food preparation surfaces as it is a health hazard.

Fire

Hazard

NEVER spray WD-40 or Sheila Shine near an open fl ame!

Rust Removal

It is a common misconception that stainless steel does not rust. It does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel (it stains less), but it is not stain-proof. If not properly protected and maintained, it can corrode, pit, and discolor.

Important

Because salt will accelerate rust and corrosion, side burner owners who live near the beach need to be diligent in maintaining their stainless steel hardware. You need to clean and polish your stainless steel frequently, apply a protectant, and ensure water does not collect and puddle.

Periodically clean exterior stainless steel surfaces with WD-40 or Sheila

Shine and wipe down with a dry cloth or paper towel until surface is free of rust. If there is signifi cant rust or corrosion, use a Scotch-Brite scrubber.

Both of these products will act as a surface protectant and help resist smudges, stains, and rust.

Caution

Although nitric acid (also called aqua fortis) can be effective for rust removal, it is a highly corrosive chemical. Because of the potential for injury or damage to your stainless steel, we do not recommend using nitric acid.

Burner rack

The burner rack can all be removed for cleaning and is dishwasher safe.

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

Covering Your Side Burner

When not in use and after cooling, cover your side burner with our canvas cover. (See your local Cal Flame dealer for details.) The cover will help protect your side burner from detrimental effects of weather and environmental pollutants. Never put a cover on a hot side burner.

Allow the side burner to cool before covering.

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: 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 fi rmly to the valve ignition device and the electrode.

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

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

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

Problem: Obstruction in the gas line

Solution: Remove the fuel line from side burner. (Do not smoke or perform any maintenance in the vicinity of an open fl ame.) Open the gas valve for one second to blow out any debris. Close off the gas valve and reconnect the fuel line securely.

19

Problem: Yellow Flame

Solution: Once the entire burner is operating, check the fl ame 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 fl ame is golden or yellow in color, the reason could be oil fi lm, residue from boil over, or other foreign matter on the burner.

The ignition wire should be connected fi rmly to the valve ignition device and electrode. Reattach it if it has become disconnected. Replace the ignition wire if it is frayed or cracked.

With the gas supply closed and 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.

Converting Side Burner from LP to NG

When converting an LP side burner that is connected to an LP grill, you MUST convert both appliances .

It is dangerous to have an LP appliance and an NG appliance supplied by the same fuel .

WARNING! You must have an authorized service technician perform this procedure . If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fi re or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life . Lloyd’s Material Supply

(LMS) will not be held responsible for an improperly converted gas side burner .

All Cal Heat side burners are manufactured to use standard liquid propane (LP) and can be converted to burn natural gas (NG).

You will need one or two orifi ces (depending on the size of the side burner), contained in the conversion kit provided with the side burner.

The conversion kit contains orifi ces to convert fi ve main burners, two small rear infrared burners, one large infrared burner, and two side burners. You will not need all of the parts in the kit.

Before you begin, make certain the LP gas source has been disconnected.
