PROPANE CONVERSION
PROPANE CONVERSION PROCEDURE (Only required if Propane gas is used)
This appliance is designed to operate on natural gas, or propane (LP). It is factory set for use with natural gas and requires field conversion for use with propane. The use of other fuels or com- bination of fuels will degrade the performance of this system and may be dangerous.
When converting to Propane Gas (LP), it may be necessary to install (as a minimum) 3 feet of vertical pipe from the appli- ance prior to an offset to ensure optimum product performance. This may be necessary due to variations in vent configuration and other numerous factors which affect exhaust flow and air delivery such as BTU value, ambient temperature, wind condi- tions, altitude, etc.
The conversion kit provided with this appliance contains com- ponents required to convert this appliance from use with natural gas to use with propane (LP) Gas. All of the components in the propane conversion kit must be installed in order for the appli- ance to operate safely on propane.
Installation Tools / Supplies 7/16” Open end wrench Small standard screwdriver
Pipe sealant compound (must be rated for use with LPG gas)

4.Burner Orifice Installation Procedure:
a.Remove glass door.
b.Remove logs, burner cover, and burner.
c.Use a 7/16”
d.Replace the burner orifice with the appropriate burner orifice (see instruction #3).
e.Use pipe sealing compound rated for LP gas. BE VERY CAREFUL THAT THE PIPE COMPOUND DOES NOT GET INSIDE OF THE ORIFICE (THIS COULD RESULT IN PLUGGING OF THE ORIFICE). Using a 7/16”
5.Adjust primary air shutter. Burner Air Shutter opening to be: Natural Gas – 1/2 open, Propane 3/4 open. Some adjustment from standard may be necessary for the desired flame char- acteristics (see Burner Flame Appearance, page 20).
