control as needed to indicate gas pressure. The 
manifold pressure for LP should be approximately 
10.0” wcp.

CAUTION:

ing plug.

23.  After test, remove adaptor and replace plug.

leg, burner tube and fettle. Re-attach supply tube to 
gas supply fitting. Using a back-up wrench, tighten 
securely.

14.  Test for leaks. Apply electric and gas to the system.
15.  Light the pilot burner using the remote control. With 

soapy solution check for leaks around the pilot as-
sembly where the tube enters the pilot assembly. 
Tighten fitting if necessary.

16.  Light the main burner and check for leaks around 

the burner supply tube fittings and burner orifices. 
Tighten if necessary.

17.  Turn fireplace OFF.
18.  After the conversion and leak checks have been 

made, manifold outlet pressure can be checked 
with a manometer at the test ports located at the 
side front edge of the fireplace opening. The lower 
test port is manifold outlet pressure.

CAUTION:

 Turn off the gas supply before
