Installation / Assembly

Installation / Assembly

Most cities and counties require permits for exterior con

-

struction and electrical circuits. In addition, some com-

munities have codes requiring residential barriers such 

as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to pre

-

vent  unsupervised  access  to  the  property  by  children 

under the age of five. Your dealer can provide informa

-

tion on which permits may be required and how to obtain 

them prior to the delivery of your equipment.
We recommend the installation, adjustment and service 

of your new grill be performed by LMS qualified install

-

ers and service technicians to ensure proper operation 

and prevent accidents.
When planning your Cal Flame™ grill location, access 

to a gas line should be considered.  The location with the 

shortest gas line run is recommended.
When determining a suitable location, consider factors 

such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths, and 

windows that open into the home.

Locate the barbecue grill only in a well-ventilated area 

and only on a solid, flat foundation (e.g. deck or cement 

slab).

If you do not have an updated filler valve on your exist

-

ing propane tank, you will need to purchase one at your 

local hardware store.  Without it you will not be able to 

attach  your  tank  to  your  Cal  Flame™  grill  or  refill  the 

tank at your local propane refill station.

Converting Gas Grills

IMPORTANT:  The Cal Flame G4 grill is manufactured to 

operate on liquid propane (LP). However, it can be con

-

verted to operate on natural gas (NG) by an authorized 

service  technician.  Consult  your  Cal  Flame  dealer  for 

information on converting your gas grill.

Owners must not convert their grills themselves . At-

tempting to convert the G4 grill from LP to NG may 

result  in  serious  injury  and  will  void  the  warranty 

coverage . 

Cabinet Cut-out Dimensions

Your Cal Flame™ 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  grill,  adequate  cross  ventilation 

must be present to prevent gas from being trapped in 

the event of a leak. 

The drawings below show the different types of cabinet 

cut-out dimensions for gas grills and accessories.
