Installation & Site Planning
Outdoor Use Only
Cal Flame specifies its barbecue islands for outdoor use only. Do not install the island in enclosed garages, sheds, breezeways, or beneath a sealed overhead structure.
Adequate Ventilation
The installation location must provide adequate ventilation. Leave sufficient room when positioning the island near a wall or fence.
Stable, Level Foundation
The island requires a solid, stable, flat, and level foundation. Cal Flame recommends a permanent concrete slab where practical.
Prepared Paver Surface
A properly prepared brick or paver surface can also be used.
Avoid Unstable Surfaces
Do not install directly on gravel, sand, timbers, dirt, or grass.
Plan Utilities Before Delivery
Gas and electrical services should be planned while preparing the foundation and final island footprint.
Deck Installation
A Cal Flame barbecue island may be placed on a deck only when the deck is capable of supporting the full weight of the barbecue island, grill, and accessories.
Structural planning: The manufacturer recommends having a contractor or structural engineer determine whether the deck can safely support the installation.
Electrical Requirements
For a 120V barbecue-island installation, the supplied Cal Flame Barbecue Islands Owner's Manual specifies a dedicated 120V, 20-amp grounded electrical service.
The dedicated circuit should not be shared with other appliances or lights.
Electrical service must meet applicable electrical and local requirements, and Cal Flame specifies copper wiring for the barbecue-island electrical installation.
Electrical planning: Confirm the exact electrical requirements of the final installed configuration before permanent electrical work is completed.
Fuel Planning
The Avalon Q 820 product-specific drawing identifies the standard grill as a 4-burner G4 LP grill. The verified standard fuel designation is therefore Liquid Propane / LP.
Natural Gas: The general barbecue-island manual discusses natural-gas installations, but the supplied Avalon Q product drawing does not establish a natural-gas configuration or conversion for this specific model. Do not plan a natural-gas installation unless compatibility is separately verified.
Care & Maintenance
Porcelain Tile
Clean spills promptly. Protect the tile against hard impacts, scratches, and chipping, and remove standing water or other liquids.
Tile Cleaning
For normal cleaning, use a detergent solution followed by rinsing. Avoid abrasive powders that can scratch the finish.
Stainless Steel
Use warm water and mild dish soap for normal cleaning, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely instead of allowing stainless steel to air dry.
Keep Combustibles Away
Keep the area surrounding the grill clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Maintain Airflow
Do not obstruct combustion or ventilation airflow.
Drip Pan
Clean the full-width drip pan after each use once it has cooled to reduce accumulated grease and grease-fire risk.
Warranty Information
The supplied Cal Flame Barbecue Islands Owner's Manual states that LMS warrants barbecue islands against deterioration, corrosion, and defects in material and workmanship for one year from the original date of delivery.
The manual specifically lists the structural frame, fireproof panels, base, electrical wiring, electrical components, switches, and outlets within this coverage.
Certain hardware and components are warranted for 90 days, while decorative finishes are warranted to be free of defects at the time of delivery.
Appliances such as refrigerators are covered through the respective appliance manufacturer.
Warranty guidance: Warranty limitations, exclusions, labor responsibilities, shipping charges, installation requirements, and other conditions apply. Review the complete manufacturer warranty in the Barbecue Islands Owner's Manual.

Flame Authority Expert Recommendation
Choose the Cal Flame Avalon Q 820 R/L when you want a centralized outdoor cooking and entertaining station rather than a standalone grill.
Its combination of a 4-burner G4 LP grill, temperature-controlled refrigerator, side burner, outdoor electrical outlet, porcelain-tile countertop, and finished barbecue-island construction makes it especially useful for outdoor spaces designed around both cooking and entertaining.
The most important configuration decision is choosing between the 820-L and 820-R.
Before ordering, verify the chosen orientation against the manufacturer dimensional drawing and confirm the island footprint, outdoor ventilation, stable foundation, electrical service, utility connections, and access requirements.
