items wrapped for shipment that need to be installed.

Place ceramic holders and ceramic tiles into grill hopper as shown below. Three sets are
included with the Kalamazoo 450 Series Gas Grills. Six sets are included with the Kalamazoo
900 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 (See photos above.)
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.
