WARNING: You must use a ON/OFF safety valve/
pilot kit for propane/LP conversion.
PROPANE/LP GAS CONVERSION
To convert to propane/LP gas, the burner inlet fitting and pilot orifice
must be replaced. The propane/LP burner inlet fitting is supplied along
with three color coded orifices pre-sized for each size log set. The
propane/LP pilot orifice is also included and can be used to convert all
size log sets. You must install the correct size orifice into the propane/
LP burner fitting using a 10 mm deep socket driver.
Burner Inlet Fitting
1. Remove the natural gas burner inlet fitting from the burner pan
assembly (see Figure 11). DO NOT remove the orifice from this
fitting. The propane/LP burner inlet fitting included in the hardware
kit has 6 holes and must be used to replace the natural gas inlet
fitting (see Figure 12).
2. Be sure to use the correct orifice for your appliance. The hardware
kit included with this appliance contains orifices with a cone-like
shape. The orifices are color coded for each respective size log
set as indicated by model number (see Figure 1, page 2).
3. Use a 10 mm deep socket or nut driver to thread the new
propane/LP orifice into the propane/LP burner inlet fitting (see
Figure 12).

PILOT FLOW ADJUSTMENT
After installation is complete and the unit has been ignited, it may
be necessary to adjust the pilot. Use a small flat-head screwdriver
to turn the flow adjustment screw on the manual control valve (see
Figure 14). Turn the screw counterclockwise to allow more gas to
flow or clockwise to restrict gas flow. Be careful to limit the turns
to 2-
1

from the fully closed position. Further turning can result
in gas leaking at the adjustment screw and the pilot flame size will
diminish. The proper pilot flow will result in a strong blue flame
between 1/2" and 1" long.

4. Using thread sealant (resistant to the action of propane/LP gas)
on larger end of fitting, screw the burner inlet fitting through hole
and into burner manifold. Tighten using a wrench.
5 . Follow steps 1 through 12 under
Natural Gas Installation
, page 5.
Changing Pilot Orifice
The pilot is provided with a natural gas orifice installed. For propane/
LP gas you must remove it and replace it with an propane/LP orifice.
The hardware kit contains an propane/LP orifice with a red stripe for
converting the pilot.
1. Gently loosen and remove the pilot line connection from the bracket
(see Figure 13).
2. Replace the injector (see Figure 13) with the propane/LP pilot
injector with the red stripe.
3. Replace and tighten the pilot line to the bracket.
4. Continue with step 3 under
Natural Gas Installation,
page 5.
