Caring for Your Grill
CONTINUED
Starter Burner Care
Visually inspect the burners once a year by removing the fire grates and using a mirror to check out the length
of each burner and all of the ports. The burners are simple to remove, but it is not necessary to do so unless
you find a problem. The burners should be structurally sound and all ports should be clear of any blockage.
If it is necessary to remove the burners, first make sure the grill
is completely cooled. Ensure the grill control valves are in the
FIGURE 24
OFF position and turn off the main gas supply. Release the
burner from the gas line inside the cabinet by disconnecting
the flex line connection (Figure 26:B) from the threaded end
of the burner (Figure 26:A). Next, remove the access covers by
removing screws (Figure 25:B). Then, remove screws (Figure
25:A) to release the burner bracket. Finally lift the burner, on
its bracket, straight up until free of the grill.
When reinstalling burner, secure burner and bracket back into
position (Figure 25:A), replace access covers (Figure 25:B).
Take extreme care to fully thread gas line (Figure 26:B) back
onto burner end (Fire 26:A).
Orifice Cleaning:
Clogged orifices create a dangerous condition that must be
resolved before the grill may be used. If you are not entirely

comfortable with the procedure, please use a qualified
technician or contact Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet

orifices, you need to disassemble the connection

at the air shutter, which is in the cabinet below
the grill. First disconnect the flex line connection
(Figure 24:A). Use care not to twist the flex line.
Next, disconnect the orifice holder (Figure 24:B)
from the threaded end of the burner (Figure 24:C).
Finally, remove the spud orifice (Figure 24:D) from
FIGURE 25
the orifice holder. Inspect all parts to ensure they
are free of any blockage. Use extreme care not to
enlarge the orifice hole while cleaning.
Reassemble the orifice
holder and reconnect orifice
holder assembly to the end
B
of the burner taking care that
it is fully secured. Reconnect
the flexline, taking care not
to twist the line.
