Propane/LP Gas Conversion
To convert to propane/LP gas, the burner inlet fitting and pilot orifice
must be replaced and the regulator pressure must be reset. The
propane/LP burner inlet fitting is supplied with the orifice installed.
The propane/LP pilot orifice for converting the pilot is supplied and
is marked with a red stripe.
1. Remove control rod extension and piezo ignitor by pulling gently.
2. Remove screws that attach pilot assembly to valve cover and
valve cover to burner pan (see Figure 7).
3. Remove valve cover.
4. Using a wrench, remove gas control valve by turning counter-
clockwise (see Figure 8).
5. Remove the burner inlet fitting from the gas control assembly
(see Figure 8). DO NOT remove the orifice from this fitting.
The propane/LP burner inlet fitting is included in the hardware
kit (see Figure 9).
6. Be sure to use the correct orifice for your appliance. The orifice
kit included with this appliance contains an orifice installed in
an air mixer fitting.
7. Using thread sealant (resistant to the action of propane/LP gas) on
smaller end of fitting, screw the burner inlet fitting into the outlet
side of the gas control (see Figure 8). Tighten using a wrench.

rod is facing the front (see Figure 8).
9. To adjust regulator pressure, remove the brass hex plug from
regulator (see Figure 10).
10. Remove the plastic pressure button from the brass plug (see
Figure 10).
11. Reverse the plastic pressure button and replace it into the brass
plug (see Figure 10).
12. Replace brass plug into regulator.
13. Using two screws removed in step 2, replace valve cover.
14. Gently loosen and remove the pilot line connection from the
pilot bracket (see Figure 11).
15. Replace injector with propane/LP injector with red stripe.
16. Replace and tighten pilot line to bracket.
17. Using screws removed in step 2, reattach pilot bracket to
