Your grill is equipped with tubular (main) burners. Refer to this
addendum for information regarding tubular burner removal,
orifi ce change, air shutter adjustment, and specifi cations.
The following sections replace the equivalent burner

supplied with your grill. Read ALL instructions
completely prior to performing any service.
CHANGING THE MAIN BURNER ORIFICE
1. Ensure the grill is completely cool, the knobs are
in the off position, the gas supply to your grill is
turned off, and the power supply is disconnected
(if applicable).
2. Remove the cooking grid and fl avor grid from above
the burner you are working and set them aside.
3. Locate the burner. Slightly pinch and remove the burner
clip (located over the rear center of the burner) from
the burner support and set aside.

6. Replace the burner by fi rst sliding the open cylindrical
end of the burner around the orifi ce, enveloping it and
centering on it, then lower the back end anchor pegs
into the anchor peg holes.
Note: It is critical to the continued safe functioning of the
burner that the orifi ce is centered and completely
inside the burner gas inlet.
7. Re-install the burner clip around the burner and into
the holes in the burner support.
8. Replace the fl avor grid and then the cooking grid so
that the cut-out section is in front.
9. Repeat these steps for each main burner.
Natural-gas to propane-gas conversions using a tank
internal to a portable grill require installation of a propane
tank holder (not included). This tank holder must be
purchased separately from the manufacturer.

TUBULAR BURNER ADDENDUM
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Important: Air shutters are preset at the factory based
on the gas the grill is built to burn. However,
altitude or other local conditions may
require air shutter adjustment for proper
combustion.
MAIN BURNER
Flames from a properly adjusted main burner with no wind
or breeze present will appear fairly steady, consistent,
and mostly blue. If the tip of a fl ame were to turn orange,
it should only do so briefl y and then become blue again.
The fl ames will appear to burn while touching the burner
ports (see Figure 2-1).
If the fl ames have orange in them and appear to undulate
slowly from side to side, or if some of them appear to lift
off the burner instead of touching it, then adjust the air
shutter, as instructed below.

CAUTION: Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF
position and turn off the gas supply at the
source before removing or adjusting a
burner.
WARNING
Wait for the burner to be cool or use heavily insulated
heat-resistant gloves when handling the burner.
Too large an air shutter opening will allow too much
air into the burner, which will cause the fl ames fi rst
to shorten and then to appear to lift up off the ports.
For the bottom of the fl ames to move closer to the
ports, close the air shutter more.
If the air shutter opening is too small or closed, the
fl ames will present consistently orange tips and
become “lazy,” slowly undulating back and forth.
For propane gas, ideal settings tend to be just slightly
open. For natural gas, which generally requires less
primary air than propane, the main burner air shutter
may be nearly closed.
3. Adjust the air shutter opening and then replace the
burner.
4. Follow the lighting instructions in this manual to
light the burner.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until the fl ames appear to touch
the burner ports, burning fairly steadily and mostly
blue (see Fig. 2-1).
6. Replace the burner, burner clip, fl avor grid, and
cooking grid (see CHANGING THE MAIN BURNER
ORIFICE section (steps 5-6).
