BURNER REMOVAL 1. Open your grill and remove the cooking grates and radiant trays. Open flame burners (Trellis burners in Hestan Grills, and U-Burners in Aspire Grills) are removed by lifting up the rear of the burner, and carefully twisting to clear the igniter shroud. Also remove the control knobs and drip pan. EN IGNITER SHROUD 2. You will also need to remove the igniter shroud for the burner you are changing out. Remove both screws shown to reveal the ceramic igniter.
PAGE 3
REPLACING THE VALVE MARKER (HESTAN GRILL ONLY) 1. Remove the screws securing the control panel to the front of the grill. Carefully tilt down the control panel being careful not to damage the wires to the switches and LED light bar. Using a 7mm or 9/32” wrench, remove the small nut which secures the valve marker and exchange it for the new one supplied in the kit. Replace the nut and tighten.
PAGE 4
CHANGING ORIFICES (LP UNITS ONLY) (continued) 3. The new LP orifice was supplied with this kit - the orifice size is stamped on the body of the orifice. If necessary, consult the chart at the end of this manual for what size is used on each burner type. This is also a good time to clean and inspect the burners for clogged ports, debris, spider webs, etc. EN Install the orifice slowly to avoid cross-threading and damaging the threads. The orifice will become noticeably harder to turn as you proceed.
PAGE 5
SEAR BURNER INSTALLATION (continued) 2. Install the burner onto the valve / orifice so that it fully seats. BE CAREFUL TO AVOID THE CERAMIC IGNITER - IT CAN CRACK OR SNAP OFF !!! EN IGNITER 3. With the burner fully inserted, align the hole in the rear bracket with the tiny dimple in the rear firebox wall. If your grill has no dimple, visually align the burner while maintaining the 1.25” vertical distance as shown below.
PAGE 6
SEAR BURNER INSTALLATION (continued) 4. Proceed to the TESTING & ADJUSTMENT section of this manual to assure your new burner is properly leak tested and adjusted (if needed). You may then reinstall the control panel, knobs, drip pan, radiant trays, and cooking grates. EN DO NOT INSTALL A RADIANT TRAY OVER THE SEAR BURNER. ONLY TRELLIS AND U-BURNERS REQUIRE A RADIANT TRAY.
PAGE 7
TESTING & ADJUSTMENT LEAK TESTING GENERAL A complete gas tightness check must be performed of all gas-carrying components due to possible movement during installation, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to parts of the unit. EN BEFORE TESTING • Do not smoke while leak testing. • Never leak test with an open flame. • Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes. • Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle or a brush.
