Gas Conversion
Propane grills include a conversion kit for natural gas. If you have a natural grill and wish to convert it to propane you will need to purchase the optional conversion kit BCK1003.
Begin by removing all the components from the inside of your grill. Locate and remove the orifice hoods mounted on the underside of the grill body, using 2 wrenches as shown. See Figure 13.

Thread the hoods onto the supply tubes leaving about a 1/8" gap between the hood and the locking nut. See Figure 14.
Remove the hose and regulator from the valve.
Replace the components inside of your grill.
Remove the knobs from the valve assembly and locate the adjust- ment screws on the inside of the valve stem. Using a small screw driver, turn the screws clockwise until screw bottoms, then turn the screws four (4) FULL turns counterclockwise. Do not back the screws out more than 4 1/2 turns or a leak may result.
See Figure 15.
Connect the grill to the natural gas supply.
Important: Before lighting your grill, check the gas connec- tions and the adjustment screws for leaks using a soapy water solution.
Caution: Never use this or any gas appliance which may be leaking gas.
Replace the knobs.
