Step
2.
Infrared Burner: Place infrared burners, ignitor, and lugs into
grill and insert burner tubes over orifice fittings. Secure each
burner with one 1/4-20 x 3/4 phillips screw from step 2.
6. Grasp valve knobs and remove from valves.
7. The low input adjustment screws are located inside the two
valve stems. Use a small screwdriver to turn each adjustment
