CHECKING THE BARBECUE REGULATOR
The Barbecue Regulator, located behind the Front Panel (Face),
must be set for the type of gas used to fuel the Barbecue. To
check the regulator setting remove the cap in the center of the
regulator (Fig 8A). Holding the cap vertical (see Fig 8B), the
letters at bottom of the plastic stalk should indicate the gas
type that the reguator is currently set up for. If regulator is not
set for your gas type, remove stalk from cap, invert and replace
into center of cap. Replace cap on regulator, screwing down
until snug.

to lose the 3/8" spacer (if equipped) when screw is removed.
d. Carefully pull the left end of the backburner assembly
forward, keeping it against the left side of the oven, until
the right end of the burner clears the orifice.

3. If an orifice change is necessary, use a 3/8" hex nutdriver
or appropriate wrench or pliers to replace the orifice.

CHECKING YOUR BARBECUE
BARBECUE FUEL ORIFICE SIZE
Elite 50 Gourmet Unibody Barbecues are equipped with fuel
orifices for Natural gas, unless otherwise indicated. To use
with Propane gas, you must install smaller orifices to avoid
hazardous overheating.
For Elite 50 Barbecues: The proper orifice size for Natural
Gas is #48 (drill size). The proper orifice size for Propane Gas
is #57 (drill size).
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT
BARBECUE BURNER ORIFICE SIZE
a. Remove the Cooking Grids and Flavor Grids from the
Barbecue.
b. If the gas supply has been connected, make sure the Burner
Valves are in the “Off” position. Then pull the Valve knobs from
their stems. Use a Phillips screwdriver to turn the Face Fastener
Screws counter clockwise to release the Face and remove it
from the Barbecue. Retain the screws and finish washers for
reattaching the Face.
NOTE: Carefully lift the face away from the frame. The Spark
Generator for the ignition system is attached to the inside of
the face panel. The Spark generator Knob need not be de-
tached, but the wires must be unplugged from the generator
before the face is removed.
c. Using a flat blade screwdriver, pry the burner retaining clip
from rear wall of the barbecue frame (see Figure 6). Remove
the burner by; A) Pulling it to the front of the barbecue, B) Lift
the far end out of the notch, C) Pull the burner away from the
manifold, taking care not to lose air shutter and spring, which
may become detached when the Burner is removed.
d. Using a 3/8" socket, remove orifice from the orifice holder
on the burner manifold and check the number stamped on the
face (see "Barbecue Orifice Size" above). Repeat for each
burner as necessary.
e. If your barbecue is not orificed for the gas supply you plan
to use, replace them with the orifices supplied with the barbe-
cue or orifices supplied by your local dealer.
f. After checking orifice drill size or replacing the orifice, install
the Air Shutter Spring and the Air Shutter over the orifice holder
fitting, between the Burner and the Burner Manifold, in the order
and position shown in Figure 6.
g. Replace the burners in the holding groove, ensuring that the
brass orifice and orifice holder fittings project deeply into the
Burners. Replace the burner retaining clips.
3. CHECK BACKBURNER FUEL ORIFICE SIZE
If your Barbecue includes a Backburner it is equipped with
a Natural Gas orifice unless otherwise indicated. To use Propane
Gas, you must use a smaller orifice. The proper orifice for
Natural Gas is #45 (drill size). The proper orifice for Propane
Gas is #125 (1.25mm).
Hazardous overheating will occur if a Natural Gas orifice is
used with Propane Gas. If you are not sure, or if an orifice
change is necessary, refer to the instructions included with the
replacement orifice which is packed with the Barbecue.
