Page 7: Cabinet Cut-Out Dimensions
Cabinet Cut-out Dimensions Your Cal Flame hibachi 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 hibachi grill, adequate cross ventilation must be present to prevent gas from being trapped in the event of a leak. -
Page 8: Lp Gas
LP Gas Tank Requirements For plumbed-in LP installation, use a convertible regulator and set it for LP gas. Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane is 14” WC (3.5 kPa). Minimum line pressure for propane is 11” WC. The grill unit must be used with the gas pressure regulator. The regula- tor will control and maintain a uniform gas pressure in the manifold. - Page 9 The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5 gallons. Full cyl- inder weight should be approximately 38 lbs. (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use.
