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.
Step 2. Remove Burner assembly and replace
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
Figure 3
Step 4. Remove the regulator set plug by using a flat head screwdriver.
See Figure 4.
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.
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, by
removing two screws (see Figure 1).

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 and
three flat tipped screws in the burner.
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.

Step 4A. Change the Stem Position on the Plug. See Figures 4A and 4B.
Step 4B. Figure 4B shows the stem plug positioning for Natural Gas.
Step 5. Pull the pilot hood straight up to remove and expose the pilot
orifice.
Step 6. For natural gas, turn counter-clockwise until it stops. See Figure 6.

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
pressure may vary, which can affect the burning characteristics of the
appliance.
WARNING
Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
