Get To Know Your Grill; Rotisserie Burner; Warming Rack; Hood Vent - Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet K500HB Use And Care Manual

Get to Know Your Grill

A. Hood Vent: Adjusts air flow for charcoal and
wood cooking. Wear a protective grilling glove to
operate the hood vent as it can become quite hot.
B. Hood Thermometer: Measures the air
temperature inside the grill's cook box. The
cooking surface temperature is typically greater
than the temperature of the air as read by the
hood thermometer.
C. Grill Hood: Always open grill hood before lighting
the grill. Keep grill hood open when starting
a charcoal or wood fire and when the hood
thermometer temperature reads greater than 750°F.
IMPORTANT: To avoid collecting excessive rain water, keep the hood
vent closed when the grill is not in use.
D. Warming Rack: The warming rack can be used for warming food or for cooking food more slowly than on
the primary cooking surface. The warming rack flips up out of the way for using the rotisserie system. Do
not operate the rotisserie burner(s) while the warming rack is in the down position.
