Gas Requirements and Connection

IMPORTANT: The Cal Flame grill is manufactured to operate on liquid propane (LP). However, it can be converted 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.. Attempting to convert the grill from LP to NG may result in serious injury and will void the warranty coverage..

If you do not have an updated filler valve on your existing 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.

Leak Testing Procedure

Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or whenever any part of the gas system is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.

As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.

1.Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to one part water.

2.Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.

3.Turn on the gas.

a.On natural gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the grill.

b.On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open.

4.Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas delivery system. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak is present.

5.Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged. The cylinder must be replaced.

6.Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.

If you are unable to stop a leak:

1.Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.

2.Shut off the gas supply to the grill and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any of the control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.

3.On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the grill.

4.Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer.

Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.
