Changing Pilot Orifice
The pilot is provided with a natural gas ori-
fice installed. For propane/LP gas you must

orifice. The accessory hardware kit contains
an propane/LP orifice with a red stripe for
converting pilot.
1. Gently loosen and remove pilot line con-
nection from bracket (see Figure 14).
2. Replace injector (see Figure 14) with
propane/LP pilot injector with red stripe.
3. Replace and tighten pilot line to bracket.

TESTING BURNER FOR LEAKS
1. Generously apply noncorrosive leak de-
tection fluid to all connections.
WARNING: Never check for
gas leaks with open flame.
2. Light burner with shutoff valve no more
than half open and holding a match
slightly in front of pan (see Lighting In-
structions, page 14).
3. Inspect all connections for bubbles, raw
gas odor, or flame from any area other
than burner (leaks). If leaks are detected,
shut off gas valve immediately. Tighten,
or reassemble loose connection(s) using
pipe joint compound until burner system
is leak free.
4. When burner is tested and leak free,
observe individual tongues of flame on
burner.
Note: Burner design includes more ports
on the outside of the bar. Make sure that
all ports are clear and producing flame
evenly across burner. If any ports appear
blocked, clear them by removing burner
manifold and reaming ports with a modi-
fied paper clip or other suitable tool.
5. When finished testing, turn gas shutoff
valve OFF to extinguish all flames.
ADDING PAN MATERIAL
1. Open bag of ash bed material (vermiculite)
and spread it evenly across burner pan to
top. You may overflow front and sides of
pan to cover entire pan and connecting
hardware. Do not cover GA9050A-1 or
GA9150A valve.
2. Open glowing embers and evenly cover
ash bed material (vermiculite) in burner
pan.
INSTALLING GRATE AND LOGS
1. Place grate over burner pan where two
outer horizontal supports on grate fit into
two pan positioning notches in rear verti-
cal edge of pan.
2. Slide two rear log grate steps over two
outer horizontal supports on grate as
shown in Figure 15.
3. Place back log on grate onto grate steps
(see Figure 16, page 13).
4. Place front log(s) on grate and slide
forward against front bars on grate (see
Figure 16, page 13).
