Switching to a different type of gas without installing the proper conversion 

components may result in fire or explosion.  NEVER ATTACH THIS APPLIANCE TO A 

GAS SUPPLY FOR WHICH IT IS NOT CONFIGURED! 

 

Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be 

performed by qualified, licensed, and authorized installation or service personnel, as 

defined in Section 1.5 of this manual.
