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. With a ½” wrench remove the natural gas
orice (#25) and replace with propane
orice (3/32”)(our part # 5021.31)
(Fig. #16)
3. Fully open the primary air shutter.
4. Remove the pilot shield from the burner
tray by removing two screws (Fig. #17)
5. With a 7/16” wrench loosen the pilot head
on the pilot assembly by a half-turn

8. Remove the minimum rate screw located
in the valve. (Fig. #21)
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. #22)
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. #26)
2. Thread the extension test tting into the
open test port. (Fig. #27)
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.
Correct gas pressure requirement:
Supply Pressure Natural Gas Propane
(For purpose of input adjustment)
Minimum 5.0" WC 12.5" WC
Maximum 13.9" WC 13.9" WC
Manifold Pressure
Maximum 3.8" WC 11" WC
Minimum 2.1" WC 5.5" WC
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.

PRIMARY AIR SHUTTER
The air shutter on the burner inlet tube controls the primary combustion air to the gas burner
and is preset closed 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, 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.
Caution: Burner area may be hot!
Turn off the replace and allow the unit to cool before proceeding.
Burner Flame Adjustment
To Adjust: (See Fig. # 29)
1. Open and remove window frame and set
aside. See "Window Frame Removal"
section found in the Installation and Op-
erating Instructions manual.
2. Remove the lower rear panel and set
aside.
3. Loosen the screw securing the primary
air shutter.
4. Rotate the shutter to increase or decrease
the amount of primary air.
5. Re tighten the primary air shutter.
6. Reinstall lower rear panel.
The ame should be just orange and “lazy”.
It should NEVER be set to create sooting on
internal parts and glass.
