Convert Gas Orifices
When converting the unit to a different gas type, burner
orifices must be replaced with the corresponding orifice for
the new gas.
See MODEL SPECIFICATIONS, Table 1 to determine the
proper orifice size for the burner(s).
Important: It is critical to the operation of the burner(s)
that its orifice be fully inserted into the
center of its orifice opening.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS OVERHEATING WILL OCCUR IF A
NATURAL-GAS ORIFICE IS USED WITH PROPANE
GAS.
1. Remove the sideburner lid, cooking grid, burner caps,
and set them aside.
2. If not already done, remove the control panel. See the
CONTROL PANEL REMOVAL section for details.
3. Remove the burners. See the BURNER REMOVAL
section for details.
4. Using a
3
/8" socket nut driver, remove the orifice from
the orifice holder (see Fig. 34-1 and Fig. 34-2) and check
the number stamped on the orifice face.
5. If an orifice change is necessary, replace the orifice with
the correct size.
Note: To protect the manifold threads when placing the
new orifice, start the threading manually, and then
tighten with the nut driver.
6. Replace the sideburner tube over the orifice, aligning
the burner over the electrode, taking care not to detach
it from the wire.
7. Replace the burner retaining clip (underneath burner),
and burner cap.
8. If equipped, repeat steps 4. through 7. for the second
burner.
9. Replace the control panel, bezel(s), and control knob(s).
10. Replace the grid and sideburner lid.
Connect To New Gas Supply
Plumb the unit as appropriate for the new gas supply.
(Additional components may be needed for your specific
setup.) Be sure to leak test at all connections.
