Applicable SKUs

Replacing a U-Burner

1. Move all control knobs are in the OFF position. Unplug the grill from power, close the propane tank valve, and disconnect the regulator from the propane tank.
2. Open the grill lid and remove the cooktop.
3. Remove the screws holding the ignitor and the flame sensor in place.
4. Remove the left and right screws that hold the U burner in place.
   
   
   • If replacing the center U burner, also remove the nut underneath the grill.
     
5. With the flame sensor and ignitor out of the way, slowly slide the old U Burner out.
6. Gently slide the new U burner into place, and line it up with the 2 screw holes on the bottom of the grill cavity.
   
7. Screw in the left and right sides of the U burner
8. Reinstall the flame sensor and the ignitor.
   
   
   1. The ignitors need to be pointing toward the burners and the tip should be between 4.5 and 5.5 mm.
      • If an ignitor is too far, it won't spark or only one of the three ignitors will spark with every click since they would require more charge.
      • If an ignitor is too close, the spark will be weaker since it requires less charge to bridge the gap between the ignitor and the burner.
9. Reinstall the flame bridge.
10. Test the ignitors by plugging the grill into power and pressing the Ignite button. See step 8.1 to see if the ignitor placement needs to be readjusted.
11. Replace the cooktop and reconnect the regulator hose to the propane tank.
