Gas Connection 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. Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by 1. mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to one part water. Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF 2. position. Turn on the gas.3. On a. natural gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the grill. On b. LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open. Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it 4. on joints of the gas delivery system. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak is present. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by 5. 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. Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF 6. position. If you are unable to stop a leak: Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF 1. position. Shut off the gas supply to the grill and release 2. pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any of the control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise. On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the 3. grill. Call an authorized gas appliance service 4. technician or an LP gas dealer. Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected. LP Gas Tank Requirements For plumbed-in LP installation, use a convertible regulator and set it for LP gas. Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane is 14” WC (3.5 kPa). Minimum line pressure for propane is 11” WC. The grill unit must be used with the gas pressure regulator. The regulator will control and maintain a uniform gas pressure in the manifold. The burner orifices have been sized for the gas pressure delivered by the regulator. WARNING: Attempting to operate the grill unit without the gas regulator installed could cause an explosion and possible death. Cylinder Specification Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this grill must be: Constructed and marked in accordance with • the Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/ CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable. Approximately 12 inches in diameter and 18 • inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5 gallons. Full cylinder weight should be approximately 38 lbs. (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane. LP Gas Hook Up An enclosure for an LP gas cylinder shall be vented by openings at the level of the cylinder valve and at floor level. The effectiveness of the openings for purposes of ventilation shall be determined with the LP-gas supply cylinder in place. This shall be accomplished in one of the following manners: One side of the enclosure shall be completely 1. open. Enclosures that have four sides, complete with a 2. top and bottom: At least two ventilation openings at cylinder a. valve level shall be provided in the sidewall, equally sized, spaced at 180. (3.14 rad), and unobstructed. Each opening shall have a total free area of not less than one square inch per pound (7.1 cm./kg) of stored fuel capacity, and not less than a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5 cm.). Ventilation openings shall be provided at b. floor level and shall have a total free area of not less than one square inch per pound (7.1 cm./kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5cm.). If ventilation ope...
