WARNING:
“Flashback” may occur in or around the burner tubes. Flashback exhibits a
characteristic “whooshing” sound. If this should occur, immediately turn off your burners, then
remove and clean them with soap and water and a brush until all foreign objects are removed.
Fuel (Gas) Conversion Instructions for KoKoMo Gas Grills.
CAUTION: This should only be performed by a licensed gas professional.
Propane to Natural Gas Conversion-Main Burners:
Currently all grills are supplied with a regulator set at a pressure of 4” water
column.
Fuel Conversion of Main Burners:
1.
Determine the existing gas type (LP or Propane gas). The process for
changing the gas type (orifice change-out) is the same for both gases.
2.
You must remove all cooking grills and flame tamers to expose the main
burners in the grill.
3.
On the bottom rear of each burner is a screw. Remove screw.
4.
To remove burner, slide burner to the rear of the grill and upward. Repeat
for each burner.
5.
Where the burner was previously located, connecting to the main valve
through the hole in the basin should now be evacuated space.
6.
Inside the space you will find the end of the valve (toward the front of the
grill), with an orifice (brass fitting), screwed into the end of the valve stem.
7.
Carefully remove the orifice with a 7mm socket set and extension. (These
are extremely fragile! When unscrewing, be extremely gentle, for you could
easily break the brass fitting and have to replace the valve.)
8.
Once the orifice is removed, replace it with the new change-out orifice,
(repeat for all burners). When re-installing orifice, do not over tighten or you
will strip the brass fitting. Little pressure is needed!!
9.
Replace burners and test for proper flame height. Flame should stand
between ½”-1” tall on LOW and 1.5”-2” on HIGH. (To adjust the LOW
flame setting simply light the grill on the LOW setting and adjust the screw
which is located under the knob on the front of the valve.)
