Critical Safety Precautions

Please read before installing and operating your new Cal Flame™ grill.
• It is recommended that a licensed contractor install your Cal Flame™ grill. Installation must conform to
local codes, National Fuel Gase Code (ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA54 or CAN / CGA-B149.1) or Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code. Refer to the instructions in this manual to ensure proper and safe installation and
operation.
• Cal Flame™ grills are designed for outdoor use only and must not be used in a building, garage, or other
enclosed area. Maintain sufficient distance as to not overheat any overhead combustible material such as a
patio cover.
• Cal Flame™ grills are not intended for installation in or on recreational vehicles or boats.
• To prevent fire and smoke damage, remove all packaging material before operating grill.
• Before you start cooking, clean the entire grill thoroughly with hot, soapy water. This is necessary to
remove residual solvents, oil and grease used in the manufacturing process. The grates should also be
thoroughly cleaned in the same manner.
• 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.
• In the event that a burner goes out, turn burner knobs to the full OFF position, fully open the grill hood and
let it air-out. Do not attempt to use the grill or any other island feature until the gas has had time to dissipate.
• 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.
• Never use the grill if the drip pan is not properly installed. Drip pan should be pushed all the way to the
rack located just under the grill. Fire or explosion can result from an improperly installed drip pan.
• Keep all electrical supply cords and the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill.
• Never use the grill or side burner in windy conditions. If used in a consistently windy area a windbreak will
be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances listed in this manual.
• The area surrounding your new grill should be kept clean and free from flammable liquids and other
combustible materials such as mops, rags or brooms, as well as solvents, cleaning fluids, and gasoline.
