See Figure 50 and the instructions provided with the kit. Remove and discard the two pressure regulator mounting screws. Re- move the pressure regulator and diaphragm. Discard all removed components. Ensure the provided diaphragm is installed properly onto the replacement pressure regulator and install the new pressure regulator using the new screws supplied with the kit. Tighten screws.

See Figure 51 and replace the pilot orifice as follows: Remove pilot hood assembly to access the phillipped pilot orifice. Remove and replace the orifice with the one pro- vided with the kit. Exercise extreme care to prevent damage to or breakage of the ignitor assembly.

Step 8. (Refer to Figure 47 on page 28 )

A. Remove the orifice from the manifold and replace it with the one provided in the kit. See the following table for orifice sizes for natural and propane models. Figure 52 illustrates the orifice.

B. Retrieve the burner and slide the venturi tube over the orifice. Set the shutter adjusting opening as shown in Figure 43, page 25.

Step 9. Reassemble the remaining compo- nents by reversing the procedures outlined in the preceding steps. Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape on all pipe fittings before install- ing (ensure propane resistant compounds are used in propane applications, do not use pipe joint compounds on flare fittings).

Step 10. Attach the conversion label provided in the conversion kit to the rating plate on the appliance.

Step 11. Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks.
