Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and 

electrical circuits. In addition, some communities have codes requiring 

residential  barriers  such  as  fencing  and/or  self-closing  gates  on 

property to prevent unsupervised access to the property by children 

under the age of five. Your dealer can provide information 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 installers 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 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.

Converting Gas Grills

IMPORTANT:  Cal Flame G3, G4, and G5 grills are manufactured to 

operate on liquid propane (LP). However, they 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.
