CONVERTING THE APPLIANCE FROM LP TO
NATURAL GAS OR NATURAL GAS TO LP
The conversion of this appliance from one
gas to another must be carried out by an
authorized service provider.
The procedure for converting from one gas
to another is the same regardless of the
initial gas used. The only variation is in the
orifice-sizes and component part numbers.
Your authorized service provider will
ensure the correct parts are used.
1. Disconnect power to unit and shut off gas supply.
2. Remove window frame assembly.
3. Carefully remove the logs & lava rock material.
4. Remove the screws that are holding the burner
housing assembly in place.
5. Remove the burner housing assembly. Depending
on the model of the appliance you may have to loos-
en the pilot bracket retaining screw/nut to allow the
pilot and bracket assembly to tilt and give enough
clearance to remove the burner housing assembly.
6. For Model 36LDVT ONLY: Remove the rear log
support and relocate the two (2) screws that locate
the rear log as shown in Figure 45.
