PROPANE CONVERSION
If the unit is to be used on propane convert as
follows using the components supplied with this
replace:
WARNING
This conversion kit shall be installed
by a qualied service agency in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and all applicable codes
andrequirementsofthe authorityhaving
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.
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 #30). (Fig. #17)
3) Apply a small amount of pipe joint compound to the threads
of the propane burner orice (marked #45) 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. #18)

6) Slide the pilot adjustment band over and ensure that the
hole in the orice band is showing. (Fig. #19 indicates NG
position, Fig. #20 indicates LP position)
7) Remove access panel, 10 screws, and set aside
8) Remove the minimum rate screw located in the valve.

9) Replace the minimum rate screw with the one provided
in the propane conversion kit supplied with this replace.
Ensure that the screw is fully installed. (Fig. #22)
10) Pull off the rubber cap from the top of the pressure regula-
tor. (Fig. #23)
11) Press down on the center post and rotate 90°.The center
post should stay down. (Fig. #24). Replace the rubber
cap.

Removing the Minimum Rate Screw
The minimum rate screw is sealed with an o-ring near the
bottom of the screw. Use a thin bladed screwdriver to back
the screw out to 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.

1) Remove the blanking plug from the pressure test port.The
plug is located between the right side lintel and rebox
side. (Fig. # 26)
GAS PRESSURE CHECK
Note:To test the gas pressure,turn off the gas supply before
removing the blanking plug from the supply pressure test
port or manifold pressure test port.
Verify gas pressures with the replace lit and on the high-
est setting.
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. #25)
Note: Gasket must be installed with access panel.
CORRECT GAS PRESSURE REQUIREMENT:
Supply Pressure Natural Gas Propane
Minimum 5.0” wc 12.5” wc
Maximum 13.9” wc 13.9” wc
Manifold Pressure
Maximum 3.8” wc 11.0” wc
Minimum 2.1” wc 5.5” wc
(For purpose of input adjustment)
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 piece and
replace the pipe plug. Thread sealant will be required to
ensure a gas tight connection.

PRIMARY AIR SHUTTER
(shown in open position for propane)
BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter at the end of 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 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.
Caution: Burner area may be hot!
Turn off the replace and allow the unit to cool before
proceeding.
To Adjust: (See Fig. # 29)
1) Open and remove window frame and set aside. See
"Window Frame Removal" section found in the Installation
and Operating Instructions manual.
2) Remove the lower rear panel and set aside.
3) Loosen the screw in the Primary Air Shutter.
4) Rotate the shutter to increase or decrease the amount of
primary air.
The ame should be just orange and “lazy”. It should NEVER
be set to create sooting on internal parts and window glass.
