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 de-
bris, 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 ven-
tilation openings in the enclosure free and clear
of debris.
• If connected to a propane cylinder, carefully in-
spect the rubber hose attached to the regulator
