OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SETTING UP

The Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet grill comes fully assembled, however there are some
items wrapped for shipment that need to be installed.
CERAMIC TILES AND CERAMIC TILE BRACKETS (Sculpture Gas)
Place ceramic holders and ceramic tiles into grill hopper as shown in the diagram on the
previous page. Three sets are included with the Sculpture Series Gas Grills.
NOTE: The ceramic holders may be positioned to "personalize" the grill performance. When
placed tightly together, the bulk of direct flame will be subdued by the ceramics providing a
more subtle heat distribution. If the ceramic holders are spread apart, approximately ½ inch,
the direct flame will have more contact will the food and provide a slightly more aggressive fire
that will cause a few "flare-ups" if that type of performance is desired... chef's choice.
PLACEMENT OF CERAMIC TILES
a. Install the ceramic tile brackets (provided), peaks up, on the lower frame just above the
burner unit.
b. Place the ceramic tiles (provided) edge to edge along peaks leaving 1/4" gap between.
You need not cover the entire flare-up guard area.
c. Install the grilling surface on the upper frame.
NOTE: When ceramic tiles become built up with grease, simply turn them over. Tiles are
self-cleaning.
COOKING SURFACE
seal it. This procedure needs to be done only once. Again, use extreme care while
seasoning the grill.
WARNING: Do not use spray can with aerosol to season your cooking surface.
Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet™
Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet grills come with
either a stainless steel wire grill grate, a 3/16"
stainless steel grilling surface, or a ¼" stainless

Seasoning Your Grill Surface
Extreme care must be taken when seasoning your
grill surface. This must be done before using your
grill for the first time. Turn both the left and right
sides of burner to "High." Let grill surface heat up
between five and ten minutes. Turn off the
burners. Using a clean rag or cooking brush,
spread cooking oil on grill surface several times to
