a. Convert the pilot orifice as follows
(see Figures 4, 5 and 6 on page 3):
Note - Use extra care not to engage the
orifice strip with the 7/16" open end wrench
(contacting the orifice strip could cause strip
distortion rendering the pilot inoperative).
Also avoid wrench contact to any of the other
pilot parts.
Use a 7/16" open end wrench and turn
the pilot hex fitting counter-clockwise 1/4
turn. (See
Figure 4 on page 3).
Note - The orifice strip tab may be
randomly located on any side of the hex fitting.
b. Push the orifice strip tab all the way
against the hex fitting to align the appropriate gas
type orifice
(seeFigures 5and 6onpage3) . The
type of gas for which the pilot is set, is, the gas
type shown on the tab.
c. Retighten, clockwise, the pilot hex
fitting until the pilot hood aligns with the
thermopiles as indicated by the arrows shown
in
Figure 4 on page 3 .
Step 5.
Convert the Honeywell RF Comfort
Control Valve as follows:
a. Access the gas selector by remov-
ing the motor cover.
Refer to Figure 2.
b. Using a slot-type screwdriver, push
the gas selector down and rotate until the
arrows on it point to the correctly colored
screw: red for LP/propane gas usage or blue
for natural gas. Refer to
Figure 2.

WARNING: INCORRECT ORIFICE SIZE
INSTALLATION ON EITHER BURNER
MAY RESULT IN POOR COMBUSTION
WHICH MAY LEAD TO THE PRODUC-
TION OF CARBON MONOXIDE. IT MAY
ALSO CAUSE SOOTING WITHIN THE

Step 10. Turn on gas supply and test for gas
leaks, using a soapy water solution.
Step 11.
Attach a manometer to the manifold
side pressure test fitting and verify manifold
pressure reads 3.5 inches water column (0.87
kPa) for natural gas, and 10.0 inches water
column (2.49 kPa) for propane gas.
Step 8. Reassemble all removed components
by reversing the procedures outlined in the
preceding steps. Use pipe joint compound or
Teflon tape on all pipe fittings before installing
(ensure propane resistant compounds are used
in propane applications, do not use pipe joint
compounds on flare fittings). Adjust the air
shutter opening on the burner tube, referring
to the Note on
page 1.
Step 9. Attach the conversion kit label
(Figure 9 ) to the rating plate on the
appliance.
