Figure 23: O-ring on valve screw.
Figure 21: Removing
valve screw.
e) Flip the screw (refer to Figure 22).
f) Using the Allen wrench as shown in
Figure 21, rotate the screw clockwise
until a torque of 9 inch lbs. WARNING!
Do not over tighten the screw. It is
recommended that you grip the wrench
by the short side.
g) Verify that if the conversion is from
NG to LPG, the screw must be re-

approved pipe thread sealant or approved Teflon tape. NEVER USE AN
OPEN FLAME WHEN TESTING FOR LEAKS.
11. Reconnect the electrical power to the unit.
12. Relight the main burner in both the “HI” and “LO” positions to verify
