CONVERT GAS TYPE / CHECK BURNER
ORIFICES
CAUTION: Make sure the grill is at a safe temperature
and isolated from gas and electrical
supplies before beginning.
For your safety, exercise caution, and make sure you
have adequate hand protection, such as gloves, when
handling metal parts.
Apply Conversion Label
This grill comes from the factory confi gured for one type
of gas as marked on the label behind the control panel .
When the grill is converted, the label for the new gas
(included at original shipping) MUST be fi lled out and
applied next to the existing label mentioned above.
Convert Regulator
The gas regulator, located behind the control panel, must
be set for the type of gas used to fuel the grill. To check
the regulator setting, remove the cap in the center of the
regulator (Fig. 39-1, A). Holding the cap vertical (see
Fig. 39-1, B), the letters at the bottom of the plastic stalk
indicate the gas type for which the regulator is currently
confi gured.
If the text on the bottom of the regulator stalk does not
match the gas type connected to the grill, remove the
stalk from the cap, invert, and replace into center of cap.
Replace cap on the regulator, screwing down until snug.
Convert Gas Orifi ces
When converting the grill to a different gas type, each
burner’s orifi ce must be replaced with the corresponding
orifi ce for the new gas.
See
MODEL SPECIFICATIONS TABLE, Table 1 at the
beginning of this document to determine the proper
orifi ce sizes for each burner.
See the following sections for details on orifi ce
conversion.
Important: It is critical to the operation of each
burner that its orifi ce be fully inserted
into the center of its orifi ce opening.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS OVERHEATING WILL OCCUR
IF A NATURAL-GAS ORIFICE IS USED WITH
PROPANE GAS.

SERVICING AND CLEANING (Cont.)
Connect To New Gas Supply
Plumb the unit as appropriate for the new gas supply.
(Additional components may be needed for your specifi c
setup.) Be sure to leak test at all connections.
Convert/Check Main Burner Orifi ces
1. Remove the cooking grid and fl avor grid from above
the burner you are working on and set them aside.
2. Remove the cotter pin from the left or right rear burner
anchoring peg by pulling it straight out of the cotter
pin hole using fi ngers or needle-nose pliers (Fig.
39-2).
3. Lift the back end of the burner out of the anchor peg
holes, then move the burner toward the back of the
grill to clear the gas inlet and set it aside.
CAUTION: THE BURNER IS HEAVY.
4. Use a
3
/
8
" hex nut driver to remove the exposed orifi ce
(Fig. 39-3). Check orifi ce. If needed, replace it with
the correct orifi ce for the new gas.
5. Replace the burner by fi rst sliding the open cylindrical
end of the burner around the orifi ce, enveloping it
and centering on it, then lower the back end anchor
pegs into the anchor peg holes.
Note: It is critical to the continued safe functioning
of the burner that the orifi ce is centered and
completely inside the burner gas inlet.
6. Reinsert the cotter pin into the right rear burner
anchor peg using fi ngers or needle-nose pliers.
7. Replace the fl avor grid and then the cooking grid so
that the cut-out section is in front.
8. Repeat these steps for each main burner.
Convert/Check Backburner Orifi ce
1. Remove the warming rack if installed and set it aside.
2. Remove the backburner cover (lift from the bottom;
fi rst upward, then outward. See image on next page).
