ORIFICE ENGAGEMENT

 

At the end of each valve there is a tiny gas opening known as an orifice.   

Gas exits the orifice and enters a venturi where it mixes with air.    The 
proper mixture of gas and air produces a clean blue flame with slight 

yellow tips at the burner.   

BE CERTAIN THAT ORIFICES ARE 

FULLY ENGAGED INTO THE BURNER VENTURI TUBES AS 

PICTURED BELOW.    Proper orifice

 engagement should be 1/4" to 

3/8" into the venturi tubes. Failure to insure this connection may cause 

fire and result in serious damage to your grill.
