WARNING!  You  must  have  an  authorized  service  technician 

perform this procedure . If these instructions are not followed 

exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property dam-

age,  personal  injury  or  loss  of  life .  Lloyd’s  Material  Supply 

(LMS) will not be held responsible for an improperly converted 

gas side burner .

All Cal Heat side burners are manufactured to use standard liquid pro-

pane (LP) and can be converted to burn natural gas (NG).

You will need one or two orifices (depending on the size of the side 

burner), contained in the conversion kit provided with the side burner. 

The conversion kit contains orifices to convert five main burners, two 

small  rear  infrared  burners,  one  large  infrared  burner,  and  two  side 

burners. You will not need all of the parts in the kit.

Before you begin, make certain the LP gas source has been discon-

nected.

Replacing the side burner orifices

Remove the grate, burner cap and burner diffuser from the side

burner.

Using a 7mm wrench, remove the orifice for the burner.

2. 

Apply a small amount of pipe compound to the orifice threads.

3. 

Screw in the orifice until it is finger tight.

4. 

Tighten the orifice with the 7mm wrench.

5. 

If you have dual side burners, repeat the previous steps for the 

6. 

second burner.

When converting an LP side burner that is connected to 

an LP grill, you MUST convert both appliances .
It is dangerous to have an LP appliance and an NG appliance 

supplied by the same fuel .
