Blue = Natural Gas). Ensure that the conversion screw is 
finger tight. Install the new regulator cap.

can easily be seen. 

 

 

 

8.  Reinstall burner cover, logs, ember wool / ceramic rocks 

and glass front. 

9.  Purging Air from Supply Line: 

 

This should only be done by a qualified (& licensed where 
applicable) professional. Check with your local building 
official for qualifications required to perform this proce-
dure.  

10.  Purge air from the gas line (see #9 above), then connect 

propane gas line to the appliance. Connect the fuel line to 
the insert inlet (1/2” NPT fitting) using the fitting required.  

11. Perform leak Test. 

 

CAUTION : After this procedure is complete with appli-
ance installed and connected to gas line, recheck the 
pilot connection and manifold fittings for leaks, using 
soapy water or a gas leak detector. 

4.  Lighting Procedure-See page 15. 

NOTE: If the gas control knob is turned to the “off” posi-
tion after pilot has been lit, the appliance must be allowed 
to cool for at least five minutes before pilot flame can be 
relit. 

13.  Apply the propane conversion label to the rating label. 

The Appliance is ready for use with propane fuel as its only 
fuel.
