Using Your Grill
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 grill safely by following these reminders:
• It is dangerous to use barbecue grills in any manner other than for what it is designed for.
• Do not use charcoal in a gas grill.
•
•
Do not heat sealed containers such as cans or jars on grills.
Explosion may result resulting in injury or death.
Never put combustible material such as paper, cloth, or flammable liquids on your grill at any time. Do not use grill or any area around grill to store flammable materials.
Warning
NEVER cover the entire cooking or grill surface with griddles or pans. Overheating will occur and burners will not perform properly when combustion heat is trapped below the cooking surface.
CAUTION: NEVER spray water on a hot gas unit. This may damage porcelain or cast iron components.

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.

Each time you light the grill, check the following:
• Inspect the hose before using the grill. If there is excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to using the grill. If you need a replacement hose, contact your Cal Flame dealer.
•
•
Ensure the area around the barbecue is clear of flammable substances such as gasoline, yard debris, wood, etc.
Ensure there is no blockage of the airflow through the vent space located below the face of the unit.
•
•
Ensure the burner flames burn evenly along both sides of each burner with a steady flame (mostly blue with yellow tipping). If burner flames are not normal, check the orifice and burner for insects or insect nests.
Ensure the in-line gas valve or gas cylinder valve is always shut
OFF when the barbecue is not in use.
