ACCESSING FIREPLACE
You may access burner system through opening in front of unit.
1. Remove front glass panels (if installed). This will keep them from
being damaged. To remove, partially open doors. Press up on upper
spring clip of one door panel with a screwdriver until outer top pivot
pin is free of clip (see Figure 1). Repeat with second door panel.
Place glass panels safely out of your work area.
2. Slide open screens and tuck inside outer pockets on firebox.
IMPORTANT
The burner orifice provided in this kit are only for use at
elevations of 0 to 2,000 feet (610 M) in the USA and 0 to
4,500 feet (0-1372 M) in Canada. At higher elevations
the BTU input must be de-rated by 4% for every 1,000
feet (305 M) to maintain the proper ratio of gas to air. If
the installer must convert the unit to adjust for varying
altitudes, a deration information sticker must be filled
out by the installer and adhered to the appliance at the
time of the conversion. Contact your local gas supplier
for deration requirements for your area.
CAUTION
The gas supply shall be shut OFF prior to discon-
necting the electrical power, before proceeding with
the conversion.
ATTENTION
Avant d’effecteur la conversion, coupez d’abord
l’alimentation en gaz, ensuite, coupez l’alimentation
electrique.

4. Remove logs. Carefully lift top logs straight up until pins are clear
of lower logs (see Figure 3). Continue removing logs one at a time.
The rear log is very heavy and should be lifted with both hands. Place
logs away from your work area. Be careful not to damage logs.

CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS
Burner Orifice Conversion
1. Using a #10 short phillips screwdriver, remove top mounting screw
holding pilot burner shield in place (see Figure 4).
2. With orifice mount exposed, use a 7/8” open-end back-up wrench
on 3/8” flare adaptor and remove 3/8” flare fitting at the end of 3/8”
flare adaptor. This will prevent spinning and damage to the flexible
tube (see Figure 4).
3. Using the 7/8” wrench, remove the remaining orifice assembly from
the burner tube.
4. Separate the 3/8” male flare adaptor from the existing natural gas
orifice fitting and save for later reassembly.
5. Thread the propane/LP gas orifice into the propane/LP gas air-mixer
fitting using a 3/8” deep socket driver. NOTE: LP gas airmixer fitting
has six (6) holes. The natural gas fitting has no holes.
6. Apply a light amount of propane/LP resistant sealant to both threaded
ends of LP air-mixer fitting.
7. Thread large threaded end of propane/LP air-mixer fitting into burner
tube and tighten with 7/8” wrench until flange is fully-seated into
bracket.
8. Replace 3/8” flare adaptor onto exposed thread on propane/LP
gas air-mixer fitting. Use 7/8” back-up wrench on fitting to prevent
turning burner tube.
9. Retighten flare fitting on flexible manifold tube with the 3/4” open-
end wrench and 7/8” back-up wrench.
10. Reattach pilot shield onto burner bracket with screw removed in
step 1.
Gas Control Valve Conversion
Convert the gas control by swapping out the valve regulator portion of
the gas valve.
1. Using a Torx T20 or slotted screwdriver, remove and discard the
three mounting screws, pressure regulator tower, and diaphragm/
spring components (see Figure 5).
2. Ensure rubber gasket is properly positioned on new pressure regulator
assembly. Install new pressure regulator assembly to valve using
new mounting screws supplied with kit. Tighten screws securely
(@ approximately 25 in-lbs.) (see Figure 6).
3. Install the identification label enclosed with the gas valve regulator
to the valve body, where it can easily be seen (see Figure 6).

operating appliance. Refer to Gas Supply Hook-up in owner’s manual.
4. Replace refractory access panel and volcanic stone.
5. Replace glass doors if previously installed. Refer to Installing Optional
Glass Doors in owner’s manual.
6. Using a manometer, test the inlet and manifold gas pressures.
Inspect for proper burner flame appearance (see Figure 11).
The conversion is now complete. To operate your fireplace, refer to
