Export gas models have been manufacturedfor use with natural gas having a higher heatingvalue of approxi- mately 1025 BTU per cubic foot. Conversion to LP gas with a higher heating value of approximately2500 BTU per cubic foot must be performed by a qualified service technician. A conversion kit is available.
