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 compo-
nents supplied with this burner:
CAUTION
The gas supply and electrical power
shall be shut off before proceeding
with the conversion.
CAUTION:
Factory supplied components must be
used to ensure correct input.After conver-
sion conrm proper manifold pressure.
1. If installed remove the rocks from the
burners.
2. If installed remove the burner from the
burner tray by gently lift up the left side
of the burner and disengage the venturi
tube from the orice. (Fig. #24)
3. Using a 1/2” wrench, undo the
natural gas burner orice,
(marked #40). Apply a small amount
of pipe joint compound to the threads
of the propane burner orice
(marked 1.45mm) to ensure a good
seal, before screwing it into the tting.
Loosen the primary air shutter screw,
open shutter to give a gap of 1/8”
(0.125”) and re-tighten. Repeat on
other burner. (Fig. #26)
4. With a 7/16” wrench loosen the pilot
head on the pilot assembly. (Fig. #27)

5. Slide the pilot adjustment band over and
ensure that the hole in the orice band
is showing.(Fig. 28b) Retighten pilot
head.
Fig. #28a shows NG position
Fig. #28b shows LP position).
6. Remove the access panel on the right
side of the rebox, 10 screws, and set
aside. (Fig. 34)
7. Remove the minimum rate screw
located in the valve. (Fig. #29)
The minimum rate screw is sealed with
an O-ring. Use a thin bladed
screwdriver to back the screw out past
the limit of the threading. At this point
a groove on the screw body will be
visible just above the valve body. Insert
a thin tool (knife blade or ne
screwdriver blade) into the groove and
gently pry the screw up. It helps to
rotate the screw while lifting on it.
8. Replace the minimum rate screw with
the one provided in the propane con-
version kit supplied with this replace.
Ensure that the screw is fully seated.

do so will overheat and
cause premature failure
of the control system.
9. Pull off the rubber cap from the top of
the pressure regulator.
(Fig. #31)
10. Press down on the center post and rotate
90°. The center post should stay down.
(Fig. #32). Replace the rubber cap.
12. Fill in the date and the name of the person who performed the conversion in the white

1. Remove the plug from the pressure test
port using a 3/16” hex key. The plug is
located between the right side lintel and
rebox side.
(Fig. #35)
2. Thread the extension test tting into the
open port.
(Fig. #36)
3. Attach a pressure gauge onto the
tting.
4. When testing is complete shut off the
gas, remove the 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.

The air shutter on the venturi tube controls the primary combustion air. It is set to the closed
position at the factory for natural gas fuel. For LP see Pg.8. Some adjustment may be neces-
sary to obtain desired ame and to eliminate carbon deposits.Evaluate ame appearance after
the replace has reached operating temperature. See Fig. #37 for proper ame pattern.
Open primary air if the window 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.
NOTE:
Proper air shutter setting is required.
The ame should be just orange and “lazy”. It should NEVER be set to create sooting
on internal parts and window glass.
