.
inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes)
and if such damage is found, order and install a
new burner. After installation, check to insure that
the gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside
the ends of the burner tubes. Also check the
position of your spark electrode.
The location of the burner tube with respect
to the orifice is vital for safe operation.
Check to ensure the orifice is inside of the
burner tube before using your gas grill. See
Fig. 2. If the burner tube does not fit over
the valve orifice, lighting the burner may
cause explosion and/or fire.
