INSTALLER
INFORMATION
Before starting the conversion make sure to shut off the gas
supply to the unit and allow fireplace to cool to room
temperature.
To convert the appliance from natural gas to propane, the
(GASC.LPKIT) kit is required. This kit comes with new pilot and
burner orifices as well as a new pressure modulator for the
valve.
To switch the pressure modulator, follow the instructions that are
provided with the conversion kit.
To change the orifices you are required to remove the door, and
side cladding. Please refer to the appropriate sections of this
manual and follow instructions on how to correctly remove the
components.
After removing the side cladding you will have access to the
burner orifice
’s mounting plate on right side of unit. To access
the orifice remove the two nuts securing the mounting plate and
pull from side of unit, as seen in Figure 26. The orifice can be
removed using a ½” socket. Before installing the new orifice,
Loctite 567 Thread Sealant needs to be applied to the threads of
the new orifice to ensure a proper seal when installed.
To replace the pilot orifice you will need to remove the pilot hood
which is held in place by a spring. First remove the spring, and
then remove the hood by pulling it up from the pilot bracket,
seen in
Figure 27
. To remove the existing orifice insert a 5/32” or
4mm Allen wrench into the hexagonal key-way of the orifice and
rotate counter-clockwise until free. Insert the new orifice using
the same Allen wrench and tighten it until a torque of 9 lbf in (1
Nm) is achieved. R
eplace the pilot hood by aligning the tab on
the base of the hood with the slot in the side of the pilot journal,
and push the hood down onto the pilot bracket. Replace the
spring by pushing it onto its seat.
Before reinstalling the cladding, the venturi shutter will have to
be adjusted to the correct opening.
Please refer to page 27 for
correct adjustment of venturi.
