hexagonal key-way of the screw (see Figure 9),
rotate it counter-clockwise until it is free and
extract it.
c) Check that the screw is clean and if necessary
remove dirt.
d) Flip the screw (refer to Figure 10).

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.
f) Verify that if the conversion is from NG to LPG,
the screw must be re-assembled with the red o-

9. Reconnect the main gas line if it was disconnected and open the shut-off valve at the gas line to the
unit.

and half warm water). If a gas leak is present, bubbling will occur. Gas leaks can be repaired by
using an 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 proper burner ignition and
operation and proper flame appearance. Also refer to
