Note: If you have been supplied with a new pair of conversion burners, skip step seven and con-
tinue with step eight.

over the burner tube on the underside of the burners, and must be screwed into place so that the
porting holes line up.
Note: For Natural gas to LPG conversion simply remove the restrictor sleeves from the burners.
Step eight.
a) Insert the new or modified burners
and fix them into place with the
burner clamps.
b) Replace the stone tray and fix it back
onto the firebox.
c) Replace the coals, ensuring you have
only one layer. Do not heap or
mound the coals.

Push them together until they ‘click’. Line
up the hooks with the receptacles on the
