Using Your Grill

Lighting the Grill

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.
• When using propane gas:
• Keep the special ventilation openings in
the enclosure free and clear of debris .
