A porcelain panel set must be used in conjunction with the installation of the burner
assembly. See Installation and Operating Instructions manual for details.
1. Remove three screws from the rear of
the rebox. Attach the manifold bracket
to the rear of the rebox with the three
screws previously removed. (Fig. #1)
2. Attach the manifold supply tube to the
bulk head tting and tighten. (Fig. #2)
Ensure that there are no leaks.
3. Attach the pilot supply tube to the bulk
head tting and tighten. (Fig. #3) Ensure
there are no leaks.
4. Attach spark electrode (ORANGE) and
sensor leads to the electrical bulk head.
(Fig. #4)
(The spark electrode connection is the
rearmost connector.)
NOTE:
If unit is to be converted to Propane, see Propane conversion instructions on
page 7 before proceeding.
NOTE: Plug the 4 vacant holes in the bottom of the rebox with 1/2” screws,
as they are not required to attach this style of burner.

11. Install thecenter media spacerand secure
to the tray with two 1 1/2” screws.
(Fig. #11 & 12)
Three holes must line up to set each
screw.
12. Apply just enough glass media to cover
the burner assembly. (Fig #13 & 14)
NOTE: Too much glass media over the
burner will cause sooting with the use of
propane gas.

WARNING
This conversion kit
shall be installed by a
qualied service agency
in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions
and all applicable codes and
requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction.
If the information in these
instructions is not followed
exactly, a re, explosion
or production of carbon
monoxide may result
causing property damage,
personal injury or loss of
life.
The qualied service agency
is responsible for the proper
installation of this kit. The
installation is not proper and
complete until the operation
of the converted appliance is
checked as specied in the
manufacturer's instructions
supplied with the kit.
If the unit is to be used on propane
convert as follows using the
components supplied with this
replace:
CAUTION
The gas supply and electrical power
shall be shut off before proceeding
with the conversion.
Note:
Factory supplied components must be used
to ensure correct input. After conversion
conrm proper manifold pressure.
1. Ensure the burner, pilot and gas
supply are turned off, and the
appliance has cooled.
2. Using a 1/2” wrench, undo the natural gas
burner orice, (marked #32). (Fig. #15)
3. Apply a small amount of pipe joint com-
pound to the threads of the propane
burner orice (marked #48) to ensure
a good seal, before screwing it into the
tting.
4. Open primary air shutter fully.
5. With a 7/16” wrench loosen the pilot head
on the pilot assembly (Fig. #16)
6. Slide the pilot adjustment band over and
ensure that the hole in the orice band is
showing. (Fig. #17 indicates NG position,
Fig. #18 indicates LP position)
7. Remove access panel, 10 screws, and
set aside. (Fig. #23)

8. Remove the minimum rate screw located
in the valve. (Fig. #19)
9. Replace the minimum rate screw with the
one provided in the propane conversion
kit supplied with this burner. Ensure that
the screw is fully installed. (Fig. #20)
10) Pull off the rubber cap from the top of
the pressure regulator. (Fig. #21)
11) Press down on the center post and rotate
90°. The center post should stay down.
(Fig. #22). Replace the rubber cap.
12) Fill in the date and the name of the
person who performed the conversion
in the white area on the conversion
label. Peel off the protective backing and
apply the conversion label directly over
the gas specications on the rating label.
13) Attach the access panel to the side of
the rebox with the previously removed
screws. (Fig. #23)
Note: Gasket must be installed with
access panel.
The minimum rate screw is sealed with
an o-ring. Use a thin bladed screwdriver
to back the screw out to the limit of the
threads.
A groove on the screw body will be
visibe just above the valve body. Insert a
thin tool (knife blade or thin screwdriver
blade) into the groove and gently pry
the screw up.
It helps to rotate the screw while
lifting on it.

1. Remove the plug from the pressure test
port. The plug is located between the
right side lintel and rebox side.
(Fig. #24)
2. Thread the extension test tting into the
open test port. (Fig. #25)
3. Attach a pressure gauge onto the
tting.
4. When testing is complete remove the
extension test tting and replace the plug.
Thread sealant will be required to ensure
a gas tight connection.
Note: To test the gas pressure, turn off the gas supply before removing the plug from
the supply pressure test port or manifold pressure test port.
Verify gas pressures with the replace lit and on the highest setting.
Correct gas pressure requirement:
Supply Pressure Natural Gas Propane
Min. Pressure 5.0" WC 12.5" WC
(For purpose of input adjustment)
Max. Pressure 13.9" WC 13.9" WC

The ame should be just orange
and “lazy”.
It should NEVER be set to create
sooting on internal parts and window
glass.
The air shutter on the burner tube controls the primary combustion air to the gas burner
and is preset at the factory for natural gas fuel. Some adjustment may be necessary to
obtain desired ame and to eliminate carbon deposits. Evaluate ame appearance after
the replace has reached operating temperature. See Fig. #28 for proper ame pattern.
Open primary air shutter if the glass media, glass, and rebox have carbon accumulation
and/or the ames are long, dark and stringy. The shutter may also be opened to lessen
the ame height.
