A. Fuel Conversions
Before making gas connections ensure that the appliance being installed is compatible with the available gas type.
Any natural or propane gas conversions necessary to meet the appliance and locality needs must be made by a quali- fied technician using Hearth & Home Technologies specified and approved parts.

NOTE: Gas conversions should only be performed by a qualified service person, and/or where required by state and local codes, licensed installer/service technician. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
