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.

3. When replacing the elbow and orifice assembly back into the burner bracket, it is important to maintain the original spacing shown below for proper burner performance.

4. Remove the screws securing the control panel to the front of the grill. Carefully tilt down the control panel being careful not to damage the wires to the switches and LED light bar. Pull off the connectors to the 2 switches and the LED light bar at this time. Remove the control panel from the grill and set aside.

CHANGING ORIFICES
5. Before removing the main burner orifices, take a visual note as to how far the orifice is installed onto
the valve body. The orifices are removed with a 1/2” deep socket wrench. Use even pressure to break loose the old orifice and remove from the valve.

CHANGING ORIFICES
6. If your grill is equipped with both open-flame (Trellis or U-burners) and Infrared Sear Burners, verify you have the correct orifice for each kind of burner. The orifice size is stamped on the body of the orifice. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for what size is used on each burner type for your altitude. This is also a good time to clean and inspect the burners for clogged ports, debris, spider webs, etc.
Install the orifices slowly by hand to avoid cross-threading and damaging the threads. The orifice
will become noticeably harder to turn as you proceed. Make frequent visual checks of the orifice as it goes onto the valve. As shown below, the orifice is nearly bottomed-out on the valve body. You want to tighten all the orifices equally so they are all seated the same distance. Use a burner to check the orifice is properly seated. As shown, the burner should fully seat with the orifice protruding into the air shutter as far as possible. The burner should rest flat on the burner hanger at the back of the firebox.

TESTING & ADJUSTMENT
LEAK TESTING
EN
GENERAL A complete gas tightness check must be performed of all gas-carrying components due to possible
movement during installation, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to parts of the unit.
BEFORE TESTING
Do not smoke while leak testing.
Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes.
Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle or a brush.
For LP units, always check with a full LP cylinder.
TO TEST
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position.
Apply the soap solution liberally to all fittings.
Turn the gas supply on.
Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly.
Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn the gas supply back on, and recheck.
If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call the dealer where you purchased your grill.
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
IMPORTANT NOTE - ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP CYLINDER CHANGE.

TESTING & ADJUSTMENT
BURNER / VALVE ADJUSTMENTS
Consult the GAS CONNECTIONS section of your Hestan or Aspire outdoor appliance for full instructions on burner adjustments, flame appearance, air shutter adjustment, and valve adjustments. This step is very important to ensure successful burner performance after conversion to a new fuel type, or changing orifices for high altitude locations.
