Set-Up
Before installing built in grills in enclosures, copy all pro• duct in-
formation such as model number and serial number and store
information in a safe place. This information is located on a plate
located behind the grill and is visible when the hood is lowered or
on the right side of the chassis. There is an area on the back cover
of this manual where you can write down this information.
To prevent  re and smoke damage, remove all packaging material •
before operating grill.
Before you start cooking, clean the entire grill thoroughly with hot,•
soapy water. This is necessary to remove residual solvents, oil and
grease used in the manufacturing process. The grates should also
be thoroughly cleaned in the same manner.
Operation
Do not use grill for oth• er than intended use.
Never use the grill if the drip pan is not properly installed. Drip•
pan should be pushed all the way to the rack located just under the
grill. Fire can result from an improperly installed drip pan.
Keep all electrical supply cords away from the heated areas of the•
grill.
Never leave the grill unattended when in use.•
Do not use water on grease  res.•
Never allow clothing, pot holders or other fl ammable materials to •
come in contact with or be close to any grate or hot surface until
it has fully cooled. Never wear loose  tting or hanging garments
while using your grill. Fabric may ignite and result in personal in-
jury.
When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack or immediate sur-•
roundings as these areas become extremely hot and can cause
burns.
Only use dry pot holders and do not use a towel or other bulky•
cloth in place of pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders used on
hot surfaces can cause burns.
Do not heat any unopened glass or metal container of food on the•
grill. Pressure may build up and cause the container to burst, pos-
sibly resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the grill.
Do not reach over your grill or any other surfaces when hot or in•
use.

Maintenance and Repair
Unless speci cally recommended in this manual, do not repair or •
replace any part of the grill. A quali ed technician should perform
all service. Any repairs made by a non-L.M.S. approved dealer
technician will void your warranty.
Precautions Regarding Children
Never leave children unattended in the area where the grill is being•
used. Close supervision of children is necessary when any appli-
ance is use near children.
Do not store items of interest to children around or below the•
grill.
Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the grill.•

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 prop-
erty to prevent unsupervised access to the property by children under
the age of  ve. 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 L.M.S. quali ed installers and service technicians
to ensure proper operation and prevent accidents.
When determining a suitable location, consider factors such as expo-
sure to wind, proximity to traf c paths, and windows that open into
the home.
Cabinet Cut-out Dimensions
Your Cal Flame grill is designed for easy installation into a non-com-
bustible enclosure. The supporting deck or counter must be fl at and

Placing Grill in a Barbecue Island
You will need a second person to help you to avoid damaging
the grill or your barbecue island.
Before installing a grill in any island or cut out, make sure that the
opening is not bigger than the outside frame of the grill unit. The grill
should rest on the lip of the frame.
Keep your  ngers away from where the grill will be supported on coun-
ter. Your  ngers could become trapped and serious injury could oc-
cur.
Check to make sure the grill is level and is supported around the entire
outside edge. If the grill is not level or is unstable, use non-combustible
shims under the outside lip to stabilize it.

Read all instructions before you
operate your grill.
We recommend you wash your entire grill with soap and water prior
to lighting it for the  rst time. Oils are used during the manufacturing
process and some residual oil may still be on the stainless steel parts
of your grill. Washing will reduce the possibility of discoloration. We
also recommend you keep your grill covered when not in use. This will
minimize the amount of dust and dirt that accumulates on your grill
and extend the life of your grill.
Lighting Instructions
NEVER use fl ammable materials and fl uids such as gasoline, kerosene,
butane or propane, diesel fuel, or alcohol to light or re-light  res. Keep
the grill away from such substances when lit.
Use high quality hardwood charcoal to ensure a good fl ame. Char-
coal briquettes made from maple, oak, birch, or elm woods will burn
cleanly, minimizing smoke and unpleasant odors.
Make sure the drip tray is in place.
Allow the grill to cool and clean the drip tray after each use.
Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
Open the hood and remove cooking grates.1.
Place charcoal on the ashtray at the bottom of grill and arrange2.
charcoal in a pyramid shaped stack.
Add charcoal lighting fl uid according to manufacturer’s instructions. 3.
Let it stand for about a minute to let fl uid penetrate charcoal.
Carefully light charcoal, allowing it to burn approximately 15 to 204.
minutes or until a light gray ash develops.
Leave about a one-half inch space between each piece of charcoal.
This helps to avoid fl are-ups from the meat juices and provides the
even heat best suited for grilling.
Using Your Grill

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 lower the grilling
temperature.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning and Maintenance
To ensure safe and proper maintenance, we recommend you
follow these directions carefully.
Clean internal parts of the grill regularly as determined by the
amount of use and foods cooked. The entire grill should be cleaned
at least once a year.
In addition, keep the area around your grill clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other fl ammable vapors and
liquids.
These instructions describe the best way to care for your stainless
steel. Although stainless steel grills will discolor and accumulate
grime with regular use, they can keep their original shine with peri-
odic cleaning. We strongly recommend using a surface protectant to
prevent smudging and surface rust from accumulating.
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is
completed. Doing so will extend the life of your grill, prevent grease
 res, and present a pleasant appearance while you grill.

Cleaning Products and Materials
Avoid using these common cleaning products and materials – they
will damage the surface of your stainless steel.
CLR•
Lime-Away•
Oven cleaner•
Cleansers such as Ajax or Comet•
Ammonia•
Bleach•
Chlorine•
Steel wool pads•
Wire brushes•
Scrapers•
Pumice•
We recommend these products for cleaning your stainless steel:
Mild dish detergent such as Dawn•
Formula 409•
Fantastik•
Sheila Shine (exterior ONLY)•
WD-40 (exterior ONLY)•
We have had best success with Sheila Shine, but WD-40 works very
well too. Sheila Shine is available in some hardware stores; WD-40
is widely available.
Some people have reported that using baking soda, lemon oil, olive
oil, vinegar, or club soda can be effective for cleaning light soil on all
stainless steel surfaces.
Do not use steel wool or wire brushes to scrub your grill. For light
soil, use a damp sponge or cloth. For heavier stains, use a Scotch-
Brite scrubber or similar product.

Clean1.
Thoroughly clean stains, food, and grime using a sponge or damp
cloth with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use Fantastik or For-
mula 409 to remove heavier soil.
Rinse2.
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them completely with a clean
towel. Do not allow stainless steel to air dry.
Polish3.
We strongly recommend that you apply a surface protectant to all
exposed stainless steel surfaces.
Spray a small amount of WD-40 or Sheila Shine on a piece of paper
towel and rub with the grain over the surface of the appliance. Using
a clean terry cloth or paper towel, polish the appliance by rubbing
with the grain until excess liquid is removed and the surface shines. It
should not be oily to the touch, however some residue is acceptable.
Some people have reported that using lemon oil products such as Old
English furniture polish is effective for polishing stainless steel and pro-
tecting the surface.
Stainless Steel Care and Cleaning
All exposed stainless steel surfaces require special attention if you want
to keep them looking clean and bright. Following these simple instruc-
tions will help avoid scratching or damaging the  nish and keep your
stainless steel attractive.
Cleaning instructions for grill interiors, including racks, are described
after this section.
Caution
Do not use WD-40 or Sheila Shine near food or on food
preparation surfaces as it is a health hazard. This includes
the interior of the grill, grill racks, stainless steel sinks, the
inside of cabinets, warming drawers, and ovens.
Fire
Hazard
NEVER spray WD-40 or Sheila Shine near an open fl ame!
These products are extremely fl ammable while in their
aerosol forms.

Rust Removal
It is a common misconception that stainless steel does not rust. It does
not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel (it stains less),
but it is not stain-proof. If not properly protected and maintained, it
can corrode, pit, and discolor.
Important
Because salt will accelerate rust and corrosion, grill
owners who live near the beach need to be diligent in
maintaining their stainless steel hardware. You need to
clean and polish your stainless steel frequently, apply
a protectant, and ensure water does not collect and
puddle.
Periodically clean exterior stainless steel surfaces with WD-40 or Sheila
Shine and wipe down with a dry cloth or paper towel until surface is
free of rust. If there is signi cant rust or corrosion, use a Scotch-Brite
scrubber.
Both of these products will act as a surface protectant and help resist
smudges, stains, and rust.
Caution
Although nitric acid (also called aqua fortis) can be effec-
tive for rust removal, it is a highly corrosive chemical. Be-
cause of the potential for injury or damage to your stain-
less steel, we do not recommend using nitric acid.
Cleaning the Interior of Your Grill
Thoroughly clean stains, food, and grime using a sponge or damp1.
cloth with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use Fantastik or For-
mula 409 to remove heavier soil.
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them completely with a clean2.
towel. Do not allow water to accumulate and puddle on stainless
steel. Water from various sources such as garden hoses contains
iron which will give the appearance of rusting on stainless steel. If
allowed to stand for long periods of time on stainless steel, it will
cause pitting.
The racks can be removed for cleaning and are dishwasher safe.3.

Cooking Grates
Use a solution equal parts detergent and hot water just as you would
for any cooking equipment. A stiff wire brush or steel wool may also be
helpful in removing grime and food deposits.
Note
Do not use a wire brush or stainless steel on any other
part of your grill or any other stainless steel surface ex-
cept the cooking grates!
Charcoal Pan
For your safety, make sure unit is cool and wood and charcoal embers
completely extinguished before storing.
Remove the ashes as soon as possible after each use. Wait until the
charcoal has cooled, slide out the drip pan and pour out the ashes. You
can save the larger pieces of charcoal for the next time you cook. Use
a garden hose to wash out accumulated grease and ashes. Allow the
drip pan to dry before reinserting into the grill.
Steam Cleaning Your Grill
Steam cleaning the interior of your grill is very effective and will not
void your warranty. Portable hand-held steam cleaners are inexpensive
and do not require chemicals. You can steam clean all parts of your
Cal Flame grill. When you are  nished, make sure you wipe all surfaces
down.
Covering Your Grill
When not in use and after cooling, cover your grill. A cover will help
protect your grill from detrimental effects of weather and environmen-
tal pollutants. Never put a cover on a hot grill. Allow the grill to cool
before covering.
You can order a replacement cover for your charcoal grill. The part
number is BBQC2345GB and can be ordered through our web site at
www.quickbbqparts.com or by calling 1-800-225-7727.
The cover is a standard gray color and  ts all Cal Flame grill sizes.
