Changing the STAR
orifices
Changing "D" and "F" STAR burners only
To prepare the 7 mm, 9/32'' socket, or ¼'' nut driver for
STAR burner orifice conversion
NOTE: This procedure facilitates the changing of the
orifices in the "D" and "F" STAR burners only. For the
smaller sized "B" burners in 305 models, this procedure
will not work because the socket is too big for insertion
through the orifice holders. To change "B" size STAR
burners, refer to page 11.
1. Trim a small piece of the foam tape provided with this
kit to about 1/4 – 1/2'' (6 – 12 mm).
2. Place foam tape over the edge of a 7 mm or a 9/32''
socket, or with 1/4'' nut driver used to replace the
burner orifices, as shown below.
• The foam tape helps to retain the orifice in the
end of the nut driver so it will not fall inside the
appliance during orifice removal or installation.
To replace the STAR "D" and "F" burner orifices
1. With the foam tape wrapped nut driver, reach down
through the jet holders and remove the gas orifice
from the STAR burner's jet holder.
