the propane hose from the fitting block
inside of the pedestal and replace with an
approved 10’ neopream hose.

identifies them as Natural Gas valves.

tamers.
3. Remove burner mounting screw
located at the very back of burner near
the rear of the firebox.
4. Remove burners by lifting up and out
of firebox on an angle. Repeat for all
burners.
5. Clean the outside of the burners with a
wire brush and make sure all gas ports
are clear. Use a straight coat hanger
to clear any obstructions.
6. Use a flashlight to look into the venturi
end of the burner to check for
blockages. If necessary, use a straight
coat hanger to clear any obstructions.
7. Inspect and clean the venturi end of
the burner by removing the venturi set
screw on the end of the burner and
removing the venturi shutter. Once
removed, make sure the burner is
thoroughly cleaned and the venturi
shutter is re-installed with an opening
of 1/8” for Natural Gas and ¼” for
Propane.

9. Re-mount flame tamers and cooking
grids.
10. Light each burner to ensure they are
operating correctly.
Note: When installing burners, it is very
important to center the burner over the
gas orifice. You should look under the
main control panel with a flashlight once
installed to make sure they are in the
proper position. Failure to clean and
install burners correctly could result in fire
or explosion.
