Grill Location
The Kalamazoo Grill is designed for easy placement on an outdoor patio or deck. It
is recommended that the grill be placed on a non-combustible surface. Important
considerations for grill placement include exposure to wind, proximity to foot traffic and
areas where people congregate and access to the gas supply.
„
Do not place the grill in a location where the rear lid openings
are likely to be exposed to strong wind. Wind from behind may
prevent the heat of the grill from venting properly, causing the
front of the grill, including the control panel and control knobs to
become dangerously hot. A wind break wall is recommended for
installations where the prevailing wind may be a problem.
„ Do not place the grill where it is likely to be bumped into or inadvertently touched by passers by. It is
recommended that the counter top or other surface extend 9 inches beyond the sides and back of the grill
as a safety clearance to protect people from injury.
„
Do not place the grill on a surface that is unable to safely support the weight of the grill or may cause it to
be unstable.
„ Never place the grill where the gas hose creates a safety hazard (see Figure 1). Tripping over an exposed gas
hose may create a gas leak or create other serious safety hazards.
„ Never locate the grill in a building, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas.
„ The grill is not intended to be installed in or on a boat or recreational vehicle.
For ease of use and safe operation, it is recommended the grill be placed on a level surface.
REQUIRED CLEARANCES
IMPORTANT: Do not build the grill into a combustible enclosure. Maintain at
least 6 inches of clearance between the sides and back of the grill and any
combustible surface, or use an insulating surround provided by Kalamazoo
Outdoor Gourmet. NEVER place the grill underneath an unprotected
overhead combustible structure or surface.
