factory equipped to burn on liquid propane fuel. Enclosed
with this kit is a natural gas conversion kit to allow the
owner to convert and operate this unit on natural gas. To
perform this conversion, follow the directions below and
to the local regulation standards in your area.
1. Make sure unit is not in operation and is cool enough
to perform this service. Shut off and disconnect
propane fuel source at the regulator end.
2. Carefully remove the storage cover, lava rocks and
fire logs. Turn unit over to access hose connections
underneath.

the parts in the same sequence. Turn the protective
screen / air intake sleeve to allow a controlled
amount of air flow through the screen and into the
fuel supply tube. Flame should have good retention.
For a proper burn and as a general rule there should
be less air flow required and therefore the air intake
screen should be nearly closed when re-installed.
This can be adjusted later to create a clean and
desired flame.

the hole and finally the natural gas orifice is to be
threaded into the end of the fuel inlet leading into the
burner. Once tight the other brass fitting connection
can be made from the fuel line fitted between the
valve and the orifice.

fire logs. Test the unit while in place and verify it
works properly. If flame from burner is not properly
adjusted you can adjust air intake by turning the
protective screen cover and air intake sleeve on the
