Step 14. Ensure you test the burner pan after it is installed into
the fireplace. Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks, using a
gas leak test solution—also known as bubble leak solution.
NOTE: Using a soapy water solution is an effective leak test solution
but it is not recommended, because the soap residue that is left on
the pipes/fittings can result in corrosion over time.
A. Light the fireplace (refer to the lighting instructions label on
the appliance).
B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test
solution to check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or gas odor
is detected, turn off the appliance. Either tighten or refasten
the leaking connection, and then retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, rinse off the leak
testing solution.
Step 15. Fill out the label “This fireplace has been converted to
LP gas” and affix it to the blank area on the rating plate.
Step 16. Conversion is now complete.

Step 11. Remove the low rate set screw with a flat bladed screw-
driver turning the screw counter-clockwise
. The set screw
has a rubber “O” ring on the outer portion of the screw, as a result
the screw will rotate only 3-4 revolutions and not unscrew any far-
ther.
NOTE: If you drop the low rate screw inside the valve area you can
retrieve it through the access door of the valve box.
Step 12. Remove the low rate set screw using a small pair of
needle-nose pliers. Grab the outer edge of the screw and pull
outward.
Step 13. Insert the correct new low rate screw from Table 8
with the needle-nose pliers. Secure the new low rate set screw
(clockwise
) with screwdriver until it is tight and now longer
spins.
CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE OR LOOSEN THE SMALL SET SCREWS
ON EACH SIDE OF THE V-WIRE. THESE ARE PRESSURE TEST
PORTS. IF THESE ARE LOOSENED THEY MUST BE RE-TIGHTENED
TO ENSURE NO GAS LEAKS OCCUR.
