CHANGING ORIFICES

1. Open your grill and remove the grates, radiant trays, and burners from the firebox area. Trellis and
U-burners are removed by lifting up the rear of the burner, and carefully twisting to clear the igniter
shroud. Infrared Sear Burners have a small metal cover over the igniter which must be removed first.
There is also a screw at the rear firebox wall which must be removed. The sear burner can then be
carefully removed using the same twisting action to avoid breaking the ceramic igniter. Remove the
outside rear cover of the grill. If your grill is mounted on a cart, remove the rear access panel of the
cart as well. Also remove the control knobs and drip pan.

2. Beginning with the Infrared Burner in the upper canopy area of the grill, access the spud orifice
shown in the image below. Disconnect the flex hose first. Then use a wrench to hold the brass
elbow steady, while using another wrench to remove the lock-nut. You may now remove the elbow
out of the burner bracket. Try not to disturb the flex hose connection by unduly bending it too
much. Be careful not to damage the wires and copper thermocouple tube nearby.
