5. FIREPLACE CONVERSION
To convert your propane gas fireplace to natural gas or vice versa, you need to contact your supplier to get the
SmartCase ®
required for the desired conversion.
5.1 CHANGING THE
SmartCase ®
If a component of the
SmartCase ®
is broken, it is strongly recommended to completely remove the
SmartCase ®
for
easier handling. For more complex problems, simply replace the
SmartCase ®
by a new one.
•
Open the door as described in section 8.3.1.
•
Remove the burner as described in section 3.6
•
Disconnect the
SmartCase ®
plug located on the electrical
box made of two power outlets; on the left of the
SmartCase ®
.
•
Close the manual gas valve.
•
Unscrew the gas intake pipe from the
SmartCase ®
.
•
Unscrew the four screws from the
SmartCase
®
as
illustrated in figure 5.1.
•
Then carefully remove the
SmartCase
®
from the fireplace.
Note: It is strongly recommended to plan for a 12 in. minimum additional length of gas pipe inside the fireplace
(under the combustion chamber) to make
SmartCase
®
maintenance easier. This way, the technician will not have
to disconnect the gas supply to work on the
SmartCase
®
.
6. GAS INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
6.1 CHECKING GAS TYPE
Use the type of gas suitable for the fireplace you are installing. If you use a type of gas not suitable for the
fireplace refer to a merchant who can recommend a fireplace suited to the type of gas you are using or provide
you with a conversion kit. Bring gas pipes to where the fireplace will be installed.
CAUTION:
You can make the fireplace less powerful (reduce the number of BTUs, but you cannot make it more
powerful due to the type of glass used.
Any changes to your fireplace must be performed by a certified professional.
It is forbidden to use damaged replacement parts or replacement parts not authorized by JA Roby.
