3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to safely install your new YIHAM KB890 replacement tube burners. It is recommended to wear protective gloves during installation.

Safety Precautions:

• Ensure the grill is completely cool and all control knobs are in the OFF position.
• Disconnect the gas supply (turn off the gas tank valve and disconnect the regulator).
• Wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves, to protect your hands from sharp edges or rust.

Installation Steps:

1. Remove Grill Components: Open the grill lid. Carefully remove the cooking grates, heat tents (also known as flame tamers or burner covers), and any other internal components to expose the old burner tubes.
2. Remove Old Burner Tubes: Locate the screws or pins securing the old burner tubes. Unscrew or unclip them and carefully lift out the old burners. Note how they connect to the gas valves at the back or side of the firebox.
3. Clean the Firebox: While the grill is disassembled, clean any debris, grease, or rust from the firebox interior.
4. Install New Burner Tubes: Position the new YIHAM KB890 burner tubes. Ensure the end with the air shutter aligns correctly with the gas valve orifice. The other end should rest securely in its mounting bracket.
5. Secure Burner Tubes: Fasten the new burner tubes using the existing screws or new hardware if provided. Ensure they are stable and properly seated.
6. Reassemble Grill: Replace the heat tents/flame tamers over the new burners, followed by the cooking grates.
7. Reconnect Gas Supply: Reconnect the gas regulator to the gas tank and slowly open the gas valve. Check for any gas leaks using a soapy water solution (bubbles indicate a leak).

4. Operating Instructions

After successful installation, follow your grill's manufacturer instructions for lighting and operation. The YIHAM KB890 burners are designed to provide consistent heat for optimal grilling.

Lighting the Grill:

1. Ensure the gas tank valve is fully open.
2. Open the grill lid.
3. Turn one burner control knob to the HIGH/LIGHT position.
4. Press the igniter button (if your grill has one) or use a long-stem lighter to ignite the burner.
5. Once the first burner is lit, turn on adjacent burners.
6. Close the lid and allow the grill to preheat to the desired temperature.

Adjusting Air Shutters:

The burner tubes feature adjustable air shutters. If you notice an uneven flame or a flame that is too yellow or too blue, you may need to adjust the air shutter. This typically involves loosening a screw on the shutter and rotating it to allow more or less air into the burner tube, then re-tightening the screw. Adjustments should be made in small increments until the flame is predominantly blue with small yellow tips.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your burner tubes will extend their lifespan and ensure consistent grilling performance.

• Regular Cleaning: After each use, once the grill is cool, brush off any food debris from the burner tubes. Periodically, remove the burners and clean them thoroughly with a grill brush or a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Ensure all burner ports are clear of blockages.
• Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect the burner tubes for signs of corrosion, cracks, or excessive wear. Replace any damaged burners promptly to maintain safety and performance.
• Clear Obstructions: Use a thin wire or paperclip to clear any clogged burner ports. This ensures even gas flow and prevents flare-ups.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your grill after installing the new burner tubes, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Uneven Flames or Yellow/Orange Flames:
  • Check if the air shutters are properly adjusted (refer to Section 4).
  • Ensure burner ports are not clogged with food debris or grease. Clean as necessary.
  • Verify that the burner tube is correctly seated over the gas valve orifice.
• Burner Not Lighting:
  • Confirm the gas tank valve is fully open and there is gas in the tank.
  • Check for proper connection of the igniter electrode to the burner tube. Some grill models may require minor adjustments or specific hardware for igniter attachment.
  • Ensure the gas valve orifice is clear.
• Low Heat Output:
  • Check for proper gas flow from the tank and regulator.
  • Ensure all burner ports are clear.

If issues persist, consult your grill's original instruction manual or contact the grill manufacturer for further assistance.
