Safety Instructions  
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance  
can cause injury or property damage. Read the installation, operating and maintenance  
instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.  
We recommend that a licensed contractor install  
your Cal Flame™ grill. Installation must conform  
to local codes, or in the absence of local codes,  
with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI  
Z223.1 / NFPA54, Natural Gas and Propane  
Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane  
Storage and Handling Code, B149.2), as  
applicable.  
Placement and Location  
Cal Flame™ grills and carts are designed for  
outdoor use only  
Never locate this appliance in an enclosed room,  
under a sealed overhead structure, or in any  
type of enclosed area such as a garage, shed, or  
breezeway. Keep clear of trees and shrubs.  
Do not place this grill under or near windows or  
vents that can be opened into your home.  
Your Cal Flame™ grill or cart must be plugged  
into a permanent, grounded 110V outlet with a  
dedicated 15A GFCI breaker in accordance with  
local codes or the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI / NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical  
Code, CSA C22.1.  
Cal Flame™ grills are not intended for installation  
in or on recreational vehicles or boats.  
Maintain sufficient distance as to not overheat any  
overhead combustible material such as a patio  
cover.  
Do not use an extension cord to supply power to  
your Cal Flame™ grill or cart. Such use may result  
in fire, electrical shock or other personal injury. Do  
not install a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.  
A fuse in the neutral or ground circuit may result  
in an electrical shock hazard. Do not ground this  
appliance to a gas supply pipe or hot water pipe.  
Keep any electrical supply cords and the fuel  
supply hose away from any heated surfaces.  
The area surrounding your new grill should be  
kept clean and free from flammable liquids and  
other combustible materials such as mops, rags or  
brooms, as well as solvents, cleaning fluids, and  
gasoline.  
Donotusethegrill,grillcabinet,orareasurrounding  
the grill as a storage area for flammable or plastic  
items. Do not store the liquid propane (LP) cylinder  
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance when  
it is not being used.  
To prevent fire 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.  
Set-Up  
Before installing built in grills in enclosures, copy  
all product information such as model number,  
serial number and type of grill (e.g. natural gas  
or LP) 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.  
Operation  
Do not use grill for other than intended use.  
In the event that a burner goes out, turn burner  
knobs to the full OFF position, fully open the grill  
hood and let it air out. Do not attempt to use the  
grill until the gas has had time to dissipate.  
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 or  
explosion can result from an improperly installed  
drip pan.  
DANGER  
What To Do If You Smell Gas  
• Shut off gas to the appliance.  
Keep all electrical supply cords and the rotisserie  
motor cord away from the heated areas of the  
grill.  
• Extinguish any open flame.  
• Open lid.  
Never use the grill or side burner in windy  
conditions. If used in a consistently windy area a  
windbreak will be required. Always adhere to the  
specified clearances listed in this manual.  
• If odor continues, keep away from the  
appliance and immediately call your  
gas supplier or your fire department.

other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Moist or  
damp pot holders used on hot surfaces can cause  
burns.  
foil.  
When the unit is not in use, be sure to turn off the  
gas at the LP tank.  
Do not heat any unopened glass or metal container  
of food on the grill. Pressure may build up and cause  
the container to burst, possibly resulting in serious  
personal injury or damage to the grill.  
Do not install or operate your grill unit in such a  
manner that the cross ventilation openings are  
blocked. Fresh air must be able to pass though  
installed vents to safeguard against residual gas  
accumulation. Failure to allow proper ventilation  
may cause fire or explosion.  
Do not reach over your grill or any other surfaces  
when hot or in use.  
When handling LP gas line and connectors, do  
not allow them to come in contact with any metal  
surfaces of the cart or cabinet. Do not drop LP  
connectors.  
Maintenance and Repair  
Spiders and other insects can nest in the burners of  
the grill and block the gas and airflow to the burner  
ports. This creates a dangerous condition that can  
result in a fire behind the valve panel. Inspect  
and clean the burners periodically and follow the  
guidelines in the Cleaning and Maintenance section  
of this manual.  
Do not use fuel such as charcoal briquettes in electric  
or gas grills  
Gas sources to the grill and side burners must be  
regulated. Do not operate grill or side burners if  
regulators have been removed, fire or explosion can  
occur.  
Unless specifically recommended in this manual, do  
not repair or replace any part of the grill. A qualified  
technician should perform all service. Any repairs  
made by a non-L.M.S. approved dealer technician  
will void your warranty.  
Never leave the grill and side burners unattended  
when in use. When using pots and pans, boil-  
overs will cause smoking and greasy boil-overs may  
ignite.  
Always use the proper size pan. Select utensils with  
flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The  
use of under-sized utensils exposes the sides of  
the utensils to direct contact with a portion of the  
flame. This can scorch utensils and hamper cleanup.  
Excessive flames on large stainless steel pots can  
result in permanent discoloration. For best results,  
we recommend commercial quality aluminum pans  
and utensils.  
Storage  
When your gas grill is not in use, turn off the gas at  
the supply cylinder.  
Storage of a grill or cart indoors is permissible only if  
the supply cylinder is disconnected and removed.  
Precautions Regarding Children  
Never leave children unattended in the area where  
the grill is being used. Close supervision of children is  
necessary when any appliance is use near children.  
Always position handles of utensils so they do not  
extend over adjacent work areas or cooking areas.  
This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable  
materials, and spillage due to accidental contact  
with the utensils.  
Do not store items of interest to children around or  
below the grill or cart.  
Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of  
the grill or cart.  
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a  
flaming pan. Turn the appliance off and smother the  
flaming pan with a tight-fitting lid, a cookie sheet or  
a flat tray. For flaming grease outside of the pan,  
smother it with baking soda or use a dry chemical or  
foam-type fire extinguisher.  
Carts  
Do not attempt to move the stainless steel cart while  
it is hot or in use.  
Never allow clothing, pot holders or other flammable  
materials come in contact with or be close to any  
grate, burner or hot surface until it has fully cooled.  
Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while  
using your grill. Fabric may ignite and result in  
personal injury.  
It is extremely important to lock all caster wheels  
even on flat surfaces.  
Do not lean, sit or stand on the stainless steel cart,  
including the foldout work surfaces.  
Do not exceed 50 pounds of weight on the foldout  
work surfaces.  
When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack,  
burner grate, or immediate surroundings as these  
areas become extremely hot and can cause burns.  
Use handles or knobs.

final location of your grill, adequate cross ventilation  
must be present to prevent gas from being trapped in  
the event of a leak.  
When planning your Cal Flame grill or cart location,  
access to gas lines and 110V power supplies should  
be considered. The location with the shortest gas  
line run is recommended. A grounded, dedicated,

Gas Requirements and Connection  
IMPORTANT: Cal Flame™ grills are manufactured to operate on either liquid propane (LP) or natural gas  
(NG) and cannot be converted. To verify the grill’s operating fuel, check the serial number label in the back  
of the chassis as you are looking at the grill from the front. Either LP or NG will be marked on the operating  
tab, indicating the proper operating fuel. Attempting to convert Cal Flame™ grills from one fuel to another  
may result in serious injury and will void the warranty coverage.  
Always check the rating plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the grill is  
manufactured for.  
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.  
4. Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it  
Leak Testing Procedure  
on joints of the gas delivery system. Blowing  
bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak  
is present.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
1. Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by  
mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to  
one part water.  
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

Installing the Transformer  
All grills with electrical components such as lights or a convection  
fan will require the transformer to be installed and plugged in  
before you can use it. This needs to be done before the grill  
is inserted in the island or modular cart. When the transformer  
is attached to the grill chassis, use care in placing the grill in the  
island cutout to avoid hitting the transformer.  
1. Remove the transformer and the metal screws from the plastic  
bag.  
2. Place the grill on a sturdy surface and tilt it back to show the  
underside of the grill.  
3. Using the metal screws, attach the transformer to 4. When you have firmly tightened the screws and

Installing the Rotisserie  
Installing Grills in  
Barbecue Islands  
Attach the two brackets to the sides of the grill, one  
on each side, using two screws as shown below.  
You will need a second person to help you to  
avoid damaging the grill, the transformer, or  
your barbecue island  
Slide the rotis motor on one of the brackets as  
shown below. The rotis motor will work on either  
side of the grill.  
Before installing a grill or side burner 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. For drop-in  
accessories, adequate cross ventilation must be  
designed into enclosure to ensure the drop-in grill  
or side burner does not become overheated.  
Remove the metal cap protecting the outlet that  
provides power for the rotis motor. Plug in the motor  
cord and screw on the retainer nut to keep the plug  
in place.  
Pay careful attention to the location of gas lines.  
Gas lines should be routed away from sources of  
heat and should make as few bends as possible.  
Checkto see if gaslineconnectionswillbeaccessible  
when grill is installed.  
If gas line connections are not easily accessible  
when the grill is installed, support the grill  
above counter level and attach the gas lines to  
the grill. When the gas connections are made,  
slide the grill into the cut out.  
If gas line connections are accessible when the  
grill is installed, slide the grill into the cut out  
and then attach the gas lines.  
Be very careful not to kink gas lines when lowering  
the grill or side burner into the cut out.  
Keep your fingers away from where the grill will be  
supported on counter. Your fingers could become  
trapped and serious injury could occur.  
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.  
Perform the leak test procedure as described earlier  
in this manual.

Using Your Grill  
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 first 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.  
Do not heat sealed containers such as cans or  
jars on grills or side burners. Explosion may  
result resulting in injury or death. Any sealed  
container, such as a pressure cooker, must have  
a properly operating pressure relieve valve to  
minimize explosion hazard.  
Never put combustible material such as paper,  
cloth, or flammable liquids on your grill at any  
time. Do not use grill, side shelves, cabinets,  
or any area around grill to store flammable  
materials.  
Remember to use your Cal Flame grill safely by  
following these reminders:  
It is dangerous to use barbecue grills and side  
burners in any manner other than for what it is  
designed for.  
Never operate main burners and rear infrared  
convection burners at the same time. Excessive  
grill temperatures will result. Never allow your  
grill temperatures to exceed 500° F.  
Do not use charcoal in a gas grill or side burner  
or electric grill.

use  
Ensure the propane cylinder, regulator,  
and rubber hose are installed in a  
location not subject to heating above  
125º F (51º C)  
Ensure the area around the barbecue is clear  
of flammable substances such as gasoline, yard  
debris, wood, etc.  
Ensure the burner flames burn evenly along both  
sides of each burner with a steady flame (mostly  
blue with yellow tipping). If burner flames are not  
normal, check the orifice and burner for insects  
or insect nests.  
Ensure there is no blockage of the airflow  
through the vent space located below the face  
of the unit.  
When using propane gas:  
Ensure the in-line gas valve or gas cylinder valve  
is always shut OFF when the barbecue is not in  
use.

Basic Grill Operation  
3. Turn the control knob to HIGH and preheat the  
grill for 15 minutes. Close the top cover during  
the appliance preheat period.  
Before lighting, make sure all burner controls are off.  
Do not attempt to light the burners if the smell of  
gas is present. Check the connection with a soap and  
water solution after attaching the hose. For LP units,  
make sure there is gas in the tank and it is sitting  
upright. For natural gas units, make sure the shut off  
valve is on.  
4. Place the food on the grill and cook to desired  
completion. Adjust heat setting if necessary. You  
may set the control knob to any position between  
HIGH and LOW.  
1. Make sure the drip tray is in place.  
5. Allow the grill to cool and clean the drip tray after  
each use.  
2. Light the grill burners using the instructions on  
the previous page.  
Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.  
Cooking with the Rotisserie  
The rotisserie burner is an infrared type, which  
provides intense searing radiant heat. It is designed  
to cook items from the back using infrared heat.  
The location of the burner allows the placement of  
a rotisserie-basting pan (NOT included) beneath the  
food to collect juices and drippings for basting and  
gravy.  
2. To use the rotisserie, first mount the motor on the  
left side of the grill. Place securely onto support  
bracket.  
3. The rod of the rotisserie system is assembled  
into the motor by placing the pointed end into  
the motor and resting the threaded end on the  
support at the side of the grill. Once the rod  
is pushed as far as possible into the motor, the  
grooved end of the rod should rest on the right  
side bracket.  
The rotisserie does not require and additional outlet  
as it is powered by a 12-volt input located on the side  
of the grill connected with a stainless steel sheathed  
power cable.  
4. If necessary, to offset unbalanced loads, slide the  
counter weight on to the rod. With the counter  
weight loose, allow the loaded rod to rotate and  
come to a stop. Now rotate the counter weight  
above the rod in a vertical position and tighten  
the thumbscrew. You can slide the counter  
weight away from or closer to the rotisserie rod  
as needed for balanced operation. Once lit, the  
rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature  
in about one minute. The orange/red glow will  
even out in about five minutes.  
1. To load the rotisserie rod, hold the handle firmly  
while sliding one of the fork assemblies (prongs  
facing away from the handle) onto the rod. Push  
the rod through the center of the food, then slide  
the other holder (prongs toward the food) onto  
the rod. Center the meat on the rod and push  
the fork assemblies firmly together. Tighten the  
thumbscrews. To secure any loose portions of  
your meat, use butcher string (never use nylon  
or plastic string). Place a basting pan under the  
food to collect the drippings.

Cooking with a Convection Grill  
A convection grill has an internal fan that circulates heated air evenly throughout the grilling area when the  
hood is closed. Cooking in this way distributes heat more efficiently so you no longer have to be concerned  
with “hot spots” on the grill where food tends to burn. The fan switch is located at the far left of the front  
panel of the grill.

Turning on and off the Lights and Fan  
The ON / OFF switch controlling your halogen  
light is located at the control panel on the front  
lower left side.  
Certain models of the Cal Flame grill are equipped  
with either one or two halogen light.  
Your grill is equipped with a grounded (3 prong)  
120 VAC plug located in the lower left rear corner  
of your cart and must be plugged into a permanent  
grounded 120 VAC outlet with a dedicated 15amp  
GFI breaker. DO NOT cut or remove the ground  
prong as this may result in fire, electrical shock  
or other personal injury. This electrical source  
provides power to the lights.  
Drop-In Food Warmer  
Attach this three-pan food warmer to your favorite  
bartending center or grill and serve a variety of hot,  
fresh hors d’ oeuvres and side dishes. The food  
warmer has three steamer pans and a built-in fuel  
drawer.  
5. Place food to be warmed into the steamer pans  
and cover with pan lids.  
6. To extinguish the sterno fuel flame, open the  
drawer and carefully replace the fuel holder  
covers. Flames will go out.  
1. Remove one steamer pan and fill the container  
pan with approximately 2”-3” warm water. Gently  
place the steamer pan back on to the container  
pan.  
IMPORTANT  
The water in the container pan is a scald and  
burn hazard as it gets hot. Do not attempt to  
empty it until it is cooled.  
2. Open the sterno fuel drawer. Remove the sterno  
fuel can holder covers. Place two sterno fuel cans  
into the can holder.  
Do not burn sterno fuel with the drawer open.  
Do not leave sterno fuel burning unattended.

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 or cart clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and  
other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.  
If your LP-gas grill is placed in a stationary barbecue island, keep the access door for the propane cylinder  
clear of any obstruction. Ensure the ventilation opening for cylinder enclosure is kept clear.  
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE GRILL.  
Burners  
Care of Stainless Steel  
Spiders and small insects occasionally inhabit or make  
nests in the burner tubes, obstructing the gas flow.  
Sometimes this results in a type of fire in and around  
the gas tubes called “flashback. To reduce the risk of  
flashback, this procedure should be followed at least  
once a month or when your grill has not been used for  
an extended period of time.  
Do NOT use wire wool pads, scrappers, harsh abrasive,  
scoring materials, bleaches, or harsh cleaners on your  
cart or grill, or allow salt and vinegar mixtures to  
remain in contact for a long period of time. This will  
cause scratching, scoring, rusting and pitting.  
We recommend that you clean stainless steel  
components with a cleaner that is approved for  
stainless steel and only clean when the grill is cool  
and in indirect light. Never use steel wool.  
IMPORTANT: Prior to starting this procedure, turn  
OFF all of the gas control knobs, shut off the fuel  
supply, and disconnect the fuel line.  
1. Remove burners from the grill by carefully lifting  
each burner up and away from the gas valve  
orifice.  
Covering Your Cart or Grill  
When not in use and after cooling, cover your cart or  
grill with our full length, zippered side canvas cover.  
(See your local Cal Flame dealer for details.) The cover  
will help protect your cart or grill from detrimental  
effects of weather and environmental pollutants.  
Never put a cover on a hot grill. Allow the grill to cool  
before covering.  
2. Use a wire brush to clean the outer surface of each  
burner to remove food residue and dirt. Clean any  
clogged ports with a stiff wire such as an opened  
paper clip.  
3. Inspect each burner for damage (cracks and  
holes). If any damage is found, replace the burner  
and discontinue grill usage.  
After Use Care  
4. Upon reinstallation, inspect the gas valve orifices  
for cleanliness and condition and the location of  
the igniters.  
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after  
cooking is completed and after turning off the flame.  
Scrub the grill rack with a brass bristle barbecue  
brush and hot soapy water.  
Drip Pan  
Wipe the grill with a damp soapy cloth and rinse  
with warm/hot, clean water. For more tenacious  
deposits, including oil, grease and water-borne  
deposits, use a multipurpose cream cleanser and  
apply with a soft, damp cloth.  
The full width drip pan will collect grease from the  
main grill area. The pan should be cleaned after every  
use to avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Be sure to  
allow the drip pan to cool prior to cleaning. You may  
clean the drip pan with a solution of warm soapy water.  
Make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid staining.  
Dry with a soft, dry, clean towel if preferred.

Troubleshooting  
Problem: Smell of gas is present  
Solution: Check for loose connections in the gas line. Perform a leak test following the procedure  
described in this manual.  
Problem: Burner does not ignite  
Solution: Use the following procedure with the figure below.  
Check the position of the sparker tip. It should be pointing forward towards the front of  
the burner.  
Make sure there is a blue spark at the electrode tip to the burner.  
Make sure the igniter wire is connected firmly to the valve ignition device and the  
electrode.  
Make sure the valve orifice is free of any debris, dust or grease.  
Make sure the valve orifice is aligned inside the front hole of the burner.  
If there is no spark at all, replace the electrode or igniter wire.  
Note: Turn off the gas at the source while troubleshooting.  
Problem: Burner tube is misaligned over the orifice  
Solution: Reposition the burner tube so that it is properly seated over the orifice.  
Problem: Obstruction in the gas line  
Solution: Remove the fuel line from grill. (Do not smoke or perform any maintenance in the vicinity  
of an open flame.) Open the gas valve for one second to blow out any debris. Close off the  
gas valve and reconnect the fuel line securely.

Problem: Yellow Flame  
Solution: Once the entire burner is operating, check the flame color to be sure that it is mostly blue.  
Some yellow at the tips may be present due to impurities in the fuel. If the flame is golden  
or yellow in color, the reason could be seasoning salts, oil film, or other foreign matter on  
the burner.  
Problem: Plugged orifice  
Solution: Unplug the orifice as follows:  
Remove cooking grills, flame tamer and grease tray.  
Remove burners from the bottom of the firebox by pulling the cotter pin from beneath  
the burner peg using a standard screwdriver or needle nose pliers.  
Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas orifice.  
Remove the orifice from the control valve.  
Gently clear any obstruction with a fine wire.  
Reinstall the orifice, reinstall the burners over the orifices, and seat each burner peg  
into position hole at the bottom ledge of the firebox.  
Replace all cotter pins.  
Replace cooking components and grease collectors.  
If an obstruction is suspected in the control valve, contact your local Cal Flame dealer for  
assistance.  
Problem: Misalignment of Igniter on Burner  
Solution:  
Check for proper position of the electrode tip, which should be pointing forward towards  
the front of the burner and free of grease to allow proper sparking.  
The ignition wire should be connected firmly to the valve ignition device and electrode.  
Replace the ignition wire if it is frayed or cracked.  
With the gas supply closed and all control knobs set to the off position, check each  
position igniter individually for the presence of a spark at the electrode. Push each knob  
in fully and rotate it about 1/4 turn to the left (counter-clockwise) until you hear a loud  
click. The trigger hitting the strike block should produce a blue spark at the electrode  
tip. Return control knob to the off position before checking the next igniter.  
While the grill is still hot, wait for a minimum of five minutes before commencing re-  
ignition. (This allows accumulated gas fumes to clear.) If all checks / corrections have  
been made and the gas grill still fails to operate properly, contact your local Cal Flame  
dealer.  
Problem: Flashback  
Solution: When fire occurs in and around the burner tubes, immediately turn off gas at its source and  
turn the control knobs clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position. Wait until the grill has cooled off and  
then clean the burner tubes and burners as described on page of this manual.

Converting from LP to NG  
WARNING! You must have an authorized service technician perform this  
procedure. If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may  
result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life  Lloyd’s Material  
Supply (L M S ) will not be held responsible for an improperly converted gas grill  
All Cal Heat grills are manufactured as standard liquid propane (LP) grills and can be converted to burn  
natural gas (NG). There are two steps required to convert a grill from LP to NG. You must perform  
both steps.  
Step 1:Switching the regulator behind the grill  
Step 2: Changing the burner orifices  
Youwillneedsomeorallofthettings(depending  
on the size of the grill or cart) contained in  
the conversion kit provided with the grill. The  
conversion kit contains orifices to convert five  
main burners, two small rear infrared burners,  
one large infrared burner, and two side burners.  
You will not need all of the parts in the kit.  
Before you begin, make certain the LP gas source  
has been disconnected from the grill. If you have  
a cart, you do not need to remove the grill from  
the cart.  
To gain access to the NG regulator:  
For grills, tilt the grill forward.  
For barbecue carts, remove the back cover.  
Step 1: Switching the regulator behind the grill  
The regulator in the image below has been removed from a grill to illustrate this
