Abstract:
1. A bezel/plate assembly for regulating the flow of gas to a gas grilling appliance having a control panel and a rotary valve, wherein the rotary valve has an actuating shaft, an external end of which extends through the control panel for mounting a control knob, the bezel/plate assembly comprising: a bezel adapted to be mounted on the control panel surrounding the external end of the actuating shaft; and a stop plate separate from the control knob and adapted to be received on the actuating shaft between the bezel and the control knob; wherein the bezel has a stop structure spaced laterally from the actuating shaft; and wherein the stop plate comprises wherein the stop plate prevents the actuating shaft from rotating past a first angular position corresponding to a natural gas minimum flow rate when the stop plate is installed, and wherein removal of the stop plate permits the actuating shaft to be rotated past the first angular position to a second angular position corresponding to a liquid propane gas minimum flow rate.
