5. Remove and replace existing orifi ces (Fig. 2-1)
with the ones supplied with your IR burner. For 2
series units, supplied orifi ce size is #49 for natural
gas and #57 for propane gas. For 1 series units,
supplied orifi ce size is #53 for natural gas and #63
propane gas.
6. Carefully place the IR burner into the fi rebox (
2-2), ensuring that:
a. the burner gas inlets (Fig. 2-3) face the front
of the grill, or the right on Deluxe models.
b1. the black ignitor wire passes up under the inner
liner & over the manifold plate (see Fig. 2-4)
OR
b2. for the Deluxe, the wire wraps around the
outside of the burner manifold and follows gas
line - do not pass across inside of the fi rebox.
c. the IR burner orifi ce ports fi t over the orifi ces (Fig.
2-5).

d. the rear hangers fi t into the slots at the back
of the fi rebox (see Fig. 3-1).
7. When the IR burner is fi rmly in place (Fig. 3-2),
connect the IR ignitor wire to the spark ignitor (when
you replace the grill face) (Fig. 3-3) in the following
confi gurations:
For Deluxe grills:
plug in the IR burner ignitor wire; re attach the
ground wire.
For Regal & Custom grills WITHOUT
backburners:
unplug the ground (green) wire from the ignition
module and plug in the IR burner wire.
For Regal & Custom grills WITH backburners
and a 2-pole spark module:
the existing spark module must be replaced with
a 4-pole module (Part # 3199-34). The installation
instructions are supplied with the replacement
module.
When it has been replaced, plug in your IR burner
wire to a spare pole, and add a ground wire (ground
to grill manifold nut). Do not leave the 4th pole open,
as this will affect the overall sparking potential.

8. Carefully replace the face, checking all wires are
connected to the spark ignitor.
9. Replace the burner valve knobs. Test the spark
ignitor and look for a spark at all electrodes including
IR ignitor. If spark is present, replace fl avor grids
(DO NOT place a fl avor grid on IR burner), cooking
grids, and face screws. If no spark is detected check
that the wiring is correctly connected to the spark
ignitor, and that battery has suffi cient power. If in
doubt replace the battery.
Important: Ensure the bare IR ignitor electrode wire
a ground or ignitor wire attached.

Ensure bare ignitor wire does not
touch the side of the IR burner
does not touch the side of the IR burner
as this will cause shorting and no spark
at the electrode tips (Fig. 3-4).

OPERATION
FOLLOW THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS IN YOUR GRILL INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL.
Note: The infrared burner will take 5-9 seconds to ignite. THIS IS NORMAL. It will take 3-5 minutes to heat up.
DO NOT TURN THE IR BURNER DOWN BELOW MEDIUM - THE BURNER MAY GO OUT.
IMPORTANT - OBSERVE THESE CAUTIONS:
1. THE INTENSE HEAT FROM AN INFRARED BURNER CAN CAUSE BURNS. USE EXTREME CAUTION
WHEN USING YOUR IR BURNER.
2. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR IR BURNER WITH THE OVEN/HOOD CLOSED.
3. REMOVE THE IR BURNER COVER BEFORE IGNITING THE IR BURNER.
4. WHILE COOKING, DO NOT TURN IR BURNER
GO OUT.
5. WHEN NOT IN USE, ALWAYS COVER THE INFRARED BURNER WITH THE COVER. THIS PROTECTS
THE BURNER FROM DRIPPINGS (FROM OTHER COOKING), AIRBORNE PARTICLES, AND FOREIGN
OBJECTS.
6. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE YOUR IR BURNER.
SETTING DOWN BELOW MEDIUM OR THE BURNER MAY
Important: Attach the supplied “Important” label to your oven/hood handle for safety and reference.
GENERAL NOTES
1. Infrared heat cooks differently than that produced from traditional burners. IR burners cook with an intense,
direct heat that will immediately sear in the natural juices of your food, resulting in a more moist, fl avorful
food. However, the intense heat also reduces the cooking time of your food. If left on the grill too long the food
may become dry or overcooked very quickly. DO NOT LEAVE A GRILL COOKING FOOD UNATTENDED.
2. For large or thick cuts of meat you may wish to use your IR burner to sear the meat and then use the
conventional burners to fi nish cooking the meat thoroughly. This will keep the meat from being overcooked.
