1. All the distance between electrode needle and burner orifice should be around 3 – 5 mm (0.11 – 0.19 inch)
2. Check all gas connections with Bubble test (detailed procedures please follow Step 4 – 4)
3. Check the regulator gas pressure (4- inch water column for NG)
4. Check the burner BTU for each burner (BTU is not changing after NG Conversion)
5. Check the flame condition (See below picture)– Visually check the burner flames. They should be blue or slightly yellow.– Check and clean all burners/ venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to fire hazard under the outdoor cooking grill.
