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 the front and rear burner assemblies, per instructions
A through C below.
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. Disconnect
power supply at the circuit breaker. Ensure fireplace is cold.
2. Remove the barrier, facade, and glass door per instruction in the
Installation and Operation Manual.
3. Open the lower control compartment door.
4. Remove the logs per instruction in the Installation and Operation
Manual. If necessary, remove the log grate. Exercise care so as
not to break the logs.
5. Perform the following conversion instructions:
A. Remove the screw from the Air Shutter Lever, that controls the rear
burner air shutter, per instructions in Figure 1A.
B. Disconnect the Air Shutter Arm from the Air Shutter Lever, per instruc-
tions in Figure 1B. Remove Air Shutter Lever.
C. Remove the screws that secure the burner assemblies. Lift out burner
assemblies.

Step 3. Remove the low-rate orifice from the valve and replace with the
orifice supplied in kit. See Figure 3.
Step 4. Remove the regulator set plug. See Figure 4.
Step 2. Replace front and rear Burner Orifices (see Figure 2). replace the
front and rear burner orifices with the orifices supplied in this kit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The front and rear burner orifices are different sizes.
Refer to Table 5 on Page 6 for verification of proper front and rear burner
orifice sizes, supplied in kit.

Step 5A. Change the Stem Position on the Plug. See Figures 5A and 5B.
Step 5B. Figure 5B shows the stem plug positioning for Natural Gas.
Step 6. Pull the pilot hood straight up to remove and expose the pilot
orifice.

Step 8. Reinstall pilot hood. See Figure 6.
Step 9. Retrieve the burner and hold the venturi tube above the orifice.
Place the shutter adjusting rod in the slot of the shutter arm (Figure 8). Set
the burner assembly into its position and secure the trapezoidal plate with
the two screws previously removed.
Step 10. Reinstall the baffle with the two baffle securing screws.
Step 11. Reinstall the log set. See log set installation and door assembly
installation in the installation and operation manual.
NOTE: Rear air shutter rod is attached to lever under the firebox.
Step 12. Reinstall the glass door.
Step 13. 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.
Step 7. For natural gas, turn counter-clockwise until it stops (do not tight-
en). See Figure 7.
Step 14. Adjust the burner air shutter per instructions in the Installation
and Operation manuals and Table 2 and Figures 6 and 7.
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.
BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Adjust the air shutters per instructions in Figures 8A and 8B 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 9). If the following conditions are
present, adjust accordingly.
If flame appears weak or 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
lower control compartment door, then proceed to finish the installation.

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 15. 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 9).
Inspect the pilot system for proper flame. The pilot flame should engulf the
flame sensor (Figure 11).
Using a manometer, test the inlet and manifold gas pressures (Tables 3–4,
Page 6). The inlet pressure is tested at elbow fitting removable plug and
the outlet pressure is tested at gas valve outlet test port (see Figures 14
and 15 on Page 6).
