Before starting the conversion make sure to shut off the
gas supply to the unit and allow gas stove to cool to
room temperature.
To convert the gas stove from natural gas to propane the
(TN24.LPKITA) kit is required. This kit comes with new pilot and
burner orifi ces as well as a new pressure modulator for the
valve.
To switch the pressure modulator, follow the instructions that
are provided with the conversion kit.
To change the orifi ces you are required to remove the mesh
and glass doors, log-set, embers and burner. Please refer to
the appropriate sections of this manual and follow instructions
on how to correctly remove these components.
After removing the components listed in the above
paragraph, you will have access to the burner orifi ce
located at the lower inside rear of the fi rebox. The orifi ce
can be removed using a ½” socket. Before installing the new
orifi ce, Loctite 567 Thread Sealant needs to be applied to
the threads of the new orifi ce to ensure a proper seal when
installed.
To replace the pilot orifi ce you will need to remove the
pilot hood which is held in place by a spring. First remove
the spring, and then remove the hood by pulling it up from
the pilot bracket, seen in (Figure 78). To remove the existing
orifi ce, insert a 5/32” or 4mm Allen wrench into the hexagonal
key-way of the orifi ce and rotate counter-clockwise until
free. Insert the new orifi ce using the same Allen wrench and
tighten it until a torque of 9 lbf in (1 Nm) is achieved. Replace
the pilot hood by aligning the tab on the base of the hood
with the slot in the side of the pilot journal, and push the hood
down onto the pilot bracket. Replace the spring by pushing it
onto its seat.
To complete the conversion, the venturi shutter will have to
be adjusted to the correct opening. Please refer to (Figure 73
on page 31)
for correct adjustment of venturi.
