4.  Using a

" socket, remove the orifi ce from 
the valve. Access this through the hole in the 
forward fi rebox plate (see PARTS LIST and 
Fig. 12-1). Check the number stamped on the 
face of the orifi ce (see Table 1). Repeat for 
each burner as necessary.
5.  If the barbecue does not have the proper 
orifices installed for the gas supply you 
intend to use, replace them with the correct 
orifi ces. Some orifi ces were supplied with the 
barbecue. They may also be obtained from the 
conversion kit or supplied by your local dealer.
Note:  A regulator hose will need to be connected 
for conversion to propane gas.
6.  After checking the 
orifice drill size 
or replacing the 
orifice, replace 
the burner over 
the orifi ce fi tting, 
sliding it forward, 
from behind the 
forward fi re wall, so the orifi ce is centered 
inside the burner gas inlet, and set it gently 
onto the burner support. The studs on the 
bottom back of the burner must each fit 
through their respective holes in the burner 
support. This is critical to the safe function of 
the barbecue. Finally, re-install the burner clip 
(from step 3) around the burner and into the 
corresponding holes in the burner support (see 
Fig. 12-1).
INSTALL THE VAPORIZER PANELS
Place the vaporizer panels directly onto the studs on 
the burners. The panels allow heat from the burners 
to be evenly distributed throughout the cooking area. 
The panels are stainless steel and will heat and cool 
quickly, making your barbecue very responsive to 
the changes you specify in grill temperature. They 
are rust resistant and may be cleaned with standard 
CHECKING/CONVERTING THE BURNER ORIFICES

CONVERSION
Before beginning, make sure you have the proper 
tools for the task.
This task requires:
•  a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver
• a deep 
3
/
8
" nut driver with a spacer (#6 nut)
Note:  It may be necessary to remove the rotisserie 
rod before beginning this procedure.
1.  Remove cooking grids & vaporizer panels from the 
barbecue.
2.  Turn the burner valves to the OFF position. 
Pull the valve knobs from their stems and 
set them aside. Using a Phillips screwdriver, 
unscrew the face fastener screws, (located 
on the sides of the face) and remove the face 
from the barbecue. Retain the screws and fi nish 
washers for reattaching the face.
Note:  Carefully, lift the face away from the frame. 
The spark generator for the ignition system 
is attached to the inside of the face panel.     
The spark generator knob need not be 
detached, but the wires must be unplugged 
from the generator before the face is 
completely removed (see Fig. 12-2).
3.  Slightly pinch and remove the burner clip 
(located over the rear center of the burner) from 
the burner support and set aside. Then carefully 
lift the burner from the burner support and out 
from the hole in the forward fi re wall (see Fig. 
12-1).
