SERVICING AND CLEANING (Cont.)
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 configured 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 filled 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. 43-1, A). Holding the cap vertical (see
Fig. 43-1, B), the letters at the bottom of the plastic stalk
indicate the gas type for which the regulator is currently
configured.
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 Orifices
When converting the grill to a different gas type, each
burner’s orifice must be replaced with the corresponding
orifice for the new gas.
See
Table 1 to determine the proper orifice sizes for
each burner.
See the following sections for details on orifice
conversion.
Important: It is critical to the operation of each
burner 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.

Convert/Check Main Burner Orifices
1. Remove the cooking grids and flavor grids and set
them aside.

section for step-by-step instructions).
3. Use a
3

" hex nut driver to remove the exposed
orifices (Fig. 43-3). Check orifices. If needed, replace
them with the correct orifices for the new gas.
4. Replace the burners (see the BURNER REMOVAL
section).
Note: It is critical to the continued safe functioning of
the burners that the orifices are centered and
completely inside the burner gas inlets.
5. Replace the flavor grids and the cooking grids.
