INSTALLING GAS CONVERSION KITS

CAUTION

The gas supply shall be shut OFF prior to discon-

necting the electrical power, before proceeding with

the conversion.

ATTENTION

Avant d’effecteur la conversion, coupez d’abord

l’alimentation en gaz, ensuite, coupez l’alimentation

electrique.

1. TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE FIREPLACE and discon-

nect power supply at the circuit breaker. Ensure ﬁreplace is

cold.

2. Remove the facade, and glass door per instruction in the Instal-

lation and Operation Manual.

3. Remove the logs per instruction in the Installation and Operation

Manual. Exercise care so as not to break the logs.

4. Perform the following conversion instructions:

GAS CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTE: When installing gas components use pipe joint com-

pound or Teﬂon tape on all pipe ﬁttings before installing (ensure pro-

pane resistant compounds are used, do not use pipe joint compounds

on ﬂare ﬁttings).

Step 1. Remove pilot bracket from burner before removing the burner

(see Figure 1).

Figure 2

Figure 3

Figure 1

IMPORTANT

The burner oriﬁce provided in this kit are only for use

at elevations of 0 to 2,000 feet (610 M) in the USA

and 0 to 4,500 feet (0-1372 M) in Canada. At higher

elevations the BTU input must be de-rated by 4% for

every 1,000 feet (305 M) to maintain the proper ratio

of gas to air. If the installer must convert the unit to

adjust for varying altitudes, a deration information

sticker must be ﬁlled out by the installer and adhered

to the appliance at the time of the conversion. Contact

your local gas supplier for deration requirements for

your area.

Step 2. Remove Burner assembly and re-

place the main burner oriﬁce supplied in this

kit. Refer to Table 5 on Page 5 for veriﬁcation

of proper main burner oriﬁce size supplied in

kit.

Step 3. Remove the low-rate oriﬁce from the

valve and replace with the low rate oriﬁce

supplied in kit. See Figure 3.

Figure 4

Step 4. Remove the regulator set plug by using a ﬂat head screwdriver.

See Figure 4.

Step 7. Reinstall pilot hood by pressing down ﬁrmly until a click is heard.

See Figure 5.

Step 8. Retrieve the burner and hold the venturi tube above the oriﬁce.

Place the shutter adjusting rod in the slot of the shutter arm (Figure 7).

Set the burner assembly into its position and secure using two screws.

Step 9. Reinstall the burner bafﬂe and pilot bracket using 5 ﬂat tipped

screws (in burner) and two pointed screws.

Step 10. Reinstall the log set. See log set installation in the Installation and

Operation Manual.

Step 11. Reinstall the glass door and the facade.

Step 12. Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks, using a gas leak test

solution—also known as bubble leak solution.

NOTE: Using a soapy water solution is an effective leak test solution but

it is not recommended, because the soap residue that is left on the pipes/

ﬁttings can result in corrosion over time.

A. Light the ﬁreplace (refer to the lighting instructions label in the control

compartment).

B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution to

check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn

off the appliance. Either tighten or refasten the leaking connection, and

then retest as described above.

C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, rinse off the leak testing

solution.

Figure 4B - Stem Plug, Propane Gas (LP) Positioning

Step 4A. Change the Stem Position on the Plug. See Figures 4A and 4B.

Step 4B. Figure 4B shows the stem plug positioning for Propane Gas (LP).

Step 5. Pull the pilot hood straight up to remove and expose the pilot

oriﬁce.

Step 6. For propane gas (LP), turn the pilot oriﬁce clockwise until it stops.

See Figure 6.

NOTE: Some kits may have this alternate

(equivalent) version of the stem plug

See note in Figure 4B

Pilot Assemblies may vary. Type ‘A’ pilot will require a ﬂat standard

screwdriver and Type ‘B’ pilot will require a 4mm allen wrench.

Step 13. Relight the main burner. The lighting instructions can be found on

the lighting label in the control compartment. Verify proper burner ignition

and operation (Figure 7).

Inspect the pilot system for proper ﬂame. The pilot should have two

ﬂames: one that engulfs the thermocouple and one that lights the main

burner (Figure 9).

Using a manometer, test the inlet and manifold gas pressures (Tables 3–4,

Page 5). The inlet pressure is tested at elbow ﬁtting removable plug and

the outlet pressure is tested at gas valve outlet test port (see Figures 13

and 14 on Page 6).

Always test pressures with the valve regulator control at the highest

setting.

BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Adjust the air shutters per instructions in Figure 7 and Table 2.

2. Light the ﬁreplace. Follow the lighting procedure on the lighting label in

the control compartment.

3. Allow the burner to operate for at least ﬁfteen (15) minutes while

observing the ﬂame continuously to ensure that the proper ﬂame

appearance is achieved (Figure 8). If the following conditions are

present, adjust accordingly.

• If ﬂame appears sooty, adjust the air shutter, incrementally, to a

more open position until the proper ﬂame appearance is achieved.

• If ﬂame remains blue, adjust the air shutter, incrementally, to a

more closed position until the proper ﬂame appearance is achieved.

4. When satisﬁed that the burner ﬂame appearance is normal, reinstall the

facade, then proceed to ﬁnish the installation.

Step 13. Adjust the burner air shutter per instructions in the Installation

and Operation manuals and Table 2 and Figures 7 and 8.

CAUTION: The air shutter should never be set so as to make the tips of

the ﬂames sooty or create sooting on the viewing glass, logs, or media.

If soot begins to form after burning, the air shutter should be opened

gradually until the sooting condition stops. Gas quality and gas pres-

sure may vary, which can affect the burning characteristics of the ap-

pliance.

WARNING

Never use an open ﬂame to check for leaks.
