Using Your Grill
Charcoal Grill
Lighting Instructions
NEVER use flammable materials and fluids such as
gasoline, kerosene, butane or propane, diesel fuel, or
alcohol to light or re-light fires. Keep the grill away from
such substances when lit.
Use high quality hardwood charcoal to ensure a good
flame. Charcoal briquettes made from maple, oak, birch,
or elm woods will burn cleanly, minimizing smoke and
unpleasant odors.
Open the hood and remove cooking grates.

manufacturer’s instructions. Let it stand for about a

4.
approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until a light gray
ash develops.
Turning on and off the Lights and Fan
The ON / OFF switch controlling your halogen light
is located at the control panel on the front lower left
side.
Certain models of the Cal Flame grill are equipped
with either one or two halogen light.
Your grill is equipped with a grounded (3 prong) 120
VAC plug located in the lower left rear corner of your
cart and must be plugged into a permanent grounded
120 VAC outlet with a dedicated 15amp GFI breaker.
DO NOT cut or remove the ground prong as this may
result in fire, electrical shock or other personal injury.
This electrical source provides power to the lights.
Leave about a one-half inch space between each piece
of charcoal. This helps to avoid flare-ups from the
meat juices and provides the even heat best suited for
grilling.
Grilling
NEVER allow children or pets unattended in an area
where a grill is being used. Never allow children to sit,
stand or play on or around the grill at any time. When in
use, certain areas of the grill get hot enough to cause
severe burns.
Leave the hood open for “Texas Style” open air grilling.
Close the hood for “Smoker” cooking.
For the greatest concentration of heat, leave the hood
open. Adjust the crank handle to lift the charcoal tray up
so the burning charcoal will be close to the grilling meat.
Lower the charcoal tray to slow the grilling temperature.
Storage
Never store the grill with ashes or combustible materials
inside. Do not store the grill until the fire is completely
extinguished and the grill body has cooled.
