Changing the burner orifices
To prepare the nut driver for burner orifice conversions
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.
1. Trim a small piece of the foam tape provided with this
kit (about 1/4'' x 1/2'' / 6 x 12 mm).
2. Place foam tape over the edge of a 7 mm or a 9/32''
socket with 1/4'' nut driver used to replace the burner
orifices, as shown below.

Orifices are stamped with the
orifice diameter size on the side.
