removing burner head. The screws will secure orifice
holder and prevent damage to electrode or tubing while
changing orifice.

the center of the orifice holders using a 7mm nut driver.
(See figure 1). Remember to keep the original natural
gas orifices for possible later conversion to natural gas.

holders with the correct LP/Propane gas orifice (see

tighten.

then re-install burner head and secure with same two
screws.
g. Replace the burner caps and grates using caution
when replacing each burner cap so that electrode is not
damaged.
