Converting from LP to NG
WARNING! You must have an authorized service technician perform this
procedure. If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life . Lloyd's Material
Supply (L .M .S .) will not be held responsible for an improperly converted gas grill .
All Cal Flame grills are manufactured as standard liquid propane (LP) grills and can be converted to burn
natural gas (NG). There are two steps required to convert a grill from LP to NG.
You must perform both steps.
Step 1: Switching the regulator behind the grill
Step 2: Changing the burner orifices
The conversion kit provided with your grill may include
some or all of the parts shown at right, depending on
the size and model of your grill.
The kit contains orifices to convert main burners, rear
infrared burners, and the large infrared burner. Your
kit will have only the parts you need to convert your
grill.
Before you begin, make certain the LP gas source
has been disconnected from the grill. If you have a
cart, you do not need to remove the grill from the
cart.
To gain access to the NG regulator:
•
For grills, tilt the grill forward.
•
For barbecue carts, remove the back cover.

the regulator directly to your NG gas service, which
will not require a flared fitting.
