press down to snap the plunger out of the cap.

• Carefully look at the plunger to locate the NAT

or LP position.

CHANGE BURNER ORIFICES

INSTALLATION TIP: First remove all
orifices and then start replacing them.
This will help to prevent the possibility
that some may not be replaced.
A. Remove the burner grates,

burner caps and burner heads.

B. Loosen the top burner

orifices using a 7 mm
nut driver. Use small
pliers to carefully lift out the orifices.
The main orifice is located
low in the center of the
burner, while the simmer
orifice is located higher
beside the center
of the burner.
