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 Power Burn-
er 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.
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 Power Burner and release pressure
in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any of the con-
trol valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.

Placing the Power Burner in
a Built-in Enclosure
You may need a second person to help you to avoid damag-
ing the Power Burner or your enclosure.
Before installing the Power Burner in an enclosure, make sure that
the opening is not bigger than the outside frame of the Power Burn-
er. The Power Burner should rest on the lip of the frame.
Pay careful attention to the location of the gas line. It should be
routed away from sources of heat and should make as few bends
as possible.
Check to see if the gas line connection will be accessible when the
Power Burner is installed.
•
If the gas line connection is not easily accessible when the Pow-
er Burner is installed, support the Power Burner above counter
level and attach the gas line to it. When the gas connection is
made, slide the Power Burner into the cut out.
•
If the gas line connection is accessible when the Power Burner
is installed, slide the Power Burner into the cut out and then at-
tach the gas line.
Be very careful not to kink the gas line when lowering the Power
Burner into the cut out.
Keep your fingers away from where the Power Burner will be sup-
ported on counter. Your fingers could become trapped and serious
injury could occur.
Check to make sure the Power Burner is level and is supported
around the entire outside edge. If the Power Burner is not level
or is unstable, use non-combustible shims under the outside lip to
stabilize it.
Perform the leak test procedure as described on page 9.

Using Your Power Burner
Read all instructions before you operate
your Power Burner.
We recommend you wash the Power Burner thoroughly 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 stain-
less steel parts of your Power Burner. Washing will reduce the possibil-
ity of discoloration. We also recommend you keep your Power Burner
covered when not in use. This will minimize the amount of dust and dirt
that accumulates on your Power Burner and extend its life.
Remember to use your Power Burner safely by following these remind-
ers:
•
It is dangerous to use Power Burner in any manner other than for
what it is designed for.
•
•
Do not use charcoal in the Power Burner.
Do not heat sealed containers such as cans or jars on the Power
Burner. Explosion may result resulting in injury or death.
•
•
Never put combustible material such as paper, cloth, or flammable
liquids on your Power Burner at any time. Do not use the Power
Burner or any area around it to store flammable materials.
Never spray water on a hot gas unit. This may damage compo-
nents.
The stainless steel ring placed around the brass burners func-
tions both as a wok ring and as a baffle for the burners. (See

Before lighting, make sure all burner controls are off. Do not at-
tempt 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 up-
right. For natural gas units, make sure the shut off valve is on.
Make sure the drip tray is in place.
Light the burners using the instructions on the next page.
Place the pot on the grate and cook to desired completion. Adjust
heat setting if necessary. You may set the control knob to any posi-
tion between HIGH and LOW.
Do not leave the Power Burner unattended while cooking.
Do not place food directly on the grate. The Power Burner
is not a grill and should not be used in this way. Always use
cooking utensils with the Power Burner.
When using propane gas:
•
•
•
Keep the special ventilation openings in the enclosure free and
clear of debris.
If connected to a propane cylinder, carefully inspect the rubber
hose attached to the regulator before each use.
Ensure the propane cylinder, regulator, and rubber hose are in-
stalled in a location not subject to heating above 125º F (51º
C).
Each time you light the Power Burner, check the following:
•
Inspect the hose before using the Power Burner. If there is ex-
cessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it must be re-
placed prior to using the Power Burner. If you need a replace-
ment hose, contact your dealer.
•
•
Ensure the area around the Power Burner is clear of flammable
substances such as gasoline, yard debris, wood, etc.
Ensure the burner flames burn evenly with a steady flame
(mostly blue with yellow tipping). If burner flames are not nor-
mal, check the orifice and burner for insects or insect nests. See
troubleshooting procedures on page 23.

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 finish and keep your
stainless steel attractive.
To ensure safe and proper maintenance, we recommend you
follow these directions carefully.
Clean internal parts of the Power Burner regularly as determined
by the amount of use and foods cooked. The entire Power Burner
should be cleaned at least once a year.
In addition, keep the area around your Power Burner clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air.
These instructions describe the best way to care for your stainless
steel.
Although stainless steel will discolor and accumulate grime with regular
use, it can keep its original shine with periodic cleaning. We strongly
recommend using a surface protectant to prevent smudging and sur-
face rust from accumulating.
The easiest way to clean the stainless steel is immediately after cook-
ing is completed. Doing so will extend the life of your Power Burner,
prevent grease fires, and present a pleasant appearance while you
cook.

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 stainless steel. For
light soil, use a damp sponge or cloth. For heavier stains, use a
Scotch-Brite scrubber or similar product.
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 Power Burner and the grate.

1 Clean
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.
2 Rinse
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them completely with a clean
towel. Do not allow stainless steel to air dry.
3 Polish
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.
NEVER spray WD-40 or Sheila Shine near an open flame!
These products are extremely flammable 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.
Because salt will accelerate rust and corrosion, Power
Burner owners who live near the beach need to be dili-
gent 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
Important
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 significant 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.
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.
Caution
Burners
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 Power Burner has not been used for an extended
period of time.
IMPORTANT: Prior to starting this procedure, turn OFF all of the gas
control knobs, shut off the fuel supply, and disconnect the fuel line.
The burners can be removed by removing the keeper pins and lifting
them out. The keeper pins are located under the Power Burner toward
the back. They are used to keep the burners in place during shipping
and are not necessary to operate the Power Burner. Remove burners

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.
Inspect each burner for damage (cracks and holes). If any damage is
found, replace the burner and discontinue usage.
Upon reinstallation, inspect the gas valve orifices for cleanliness and
condition and the location of the igniters. When you replace the burn-
ers, you do not need to replace the keeper pins.
Drip Pan
The full width drip pan will collect grease from the main burner 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.
Steam Cleaning Your Power Burner
Steam cleaning your Power Burner 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 Power Burner, including the burners. When you are finished,
make sure you wipe all surfaces down.
If you spray the burners, ignite them and let them burn for about 10
minutes to prevent any water from accumulating inside them.
Covering Your Power Burner
When not in use and after cooling, cover your Power Burner with our
canvas cover. (See your local Cal Flame dealer for details.) The cover
will help protect your Power Burner from detrimental effects of weather
and environmental pollutants. Never put a cover on a hot appliance.
Allow the Power Burner to cool before covering.
To order a replacement cover, contact Cal Spas customer service at
1-800-CAL-SPAS.

Appendix
Troubleshooting
Problem: Smell of gas is present
Solution: Check for loose connections in the gas line. Perform a
leak test following the procedure on page 9.
Problem: Burner does not ignite
Solution: Use the following procedure with the figure below.
Check the position of the sparker tip. It should be point-
ing 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 troubleshoot-
ing.

Problem: Plugged orifice
Solution: Unplug the orifice as follows:
•
•
•
Remove grate and grease tray.
Remove the burner ring and the outer burner.
Carefully lift the center 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 place the burner peg into position hole
at the bottom ledge of the firebox.
•
Replace cooking components and grease tray.
If an obstruction is suspected in the control valve, con-
tact your local Cal Flame dealer for assistance.
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 Power Burner. (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: Some yellow at the tips may be present due to impuri-
ties 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.
You may also need to adjust the venturis. If you are
using propane, they should be completely open. If you
are using NG, they should be open 1/4 to 1/2 way. (See
page 16 to see location of the venturis.)

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 ig-
nition 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 indi-
vidually 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 Power Burner is still hot, wait for a mini-
mum of five minutes before commencing re-ignition.
(This allows accumulated gas fumes to clear.) If all
checks / corrections have been made and the Power
Burner still fails to operate properly, contact your lo-
cal Cal Flame dealer.
Problem: Flashback
Solution: When fire occurs in and around the burner tubes, im-
mediately turn off gas at its source and turn the con-
trol knobs clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position. Wait until the
Power Burner has cooled off and then clean the burner
tubes and burners as described on page of this manu-
al.

Converting from LP to NG
WARNING! You must have an authorized service
technician perform this procedure. If these instruc-
tions are not followed exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal injury or
loss of life. LMS Inc. will not be held responsible for an im-
properly converted gas appliance.
All Cal Flame gas appliances are manufactured to operate with
standard liquid propane (LP and can be converted to burn natural
gas (NG). There are two steps required to convert from LP to NG.
You must perform both steps.
Step 1: Switching the regulator behind the Power Burner
Step 2: Changing the burner orifices
The kit contains two orifices to convert main burners. Your kit will
have only the parts you need to convert your Power Burner.
Before you begin, make certain the LP gas source has been discon-
nected from the Power Burner.
