o-ring visible (refer to Figure 14). If the conversion is from LPG to NG, the red o-ring of the
screw must not be visible.

in your
Owner’s Manual. When re-installing the burner,
ensure that the burner to pilot hood relationship
is similar to what is shown in Figure 15. On some
units you will need to pay special attention when
installing the burner that the venturi adjustment
rod is properly installed into the venturi adjustment
piece welded to the burner venturi tube
9. Reconnect the main gas line if it was disconnected
and open the shut-off valve at the gas line to the
unit.
10. Use a small brush to apply a warm soapy water
solution to all gas connections (use half dish soap
and half warm water). If a gas leak is present,
bubbling will occur. Gas leaks can be repaired by using an approved pipe thread sealant or
approved Teflon tape. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME WHEN TESTING FOR LEAKS.
11. Reconnect the electrical power to the unit.
12. Relight the main burner in both the “HI” and “LO” positions to verify proper burner ignition and
operation and proper flame appearance.
13. MAKE SURE that the conversion label is installed on or close to the rating label to signify that the
unit has been converted to a different fuel type.
