operate on propane/LP gas, follow the instructions on this page.
Please see the appropriate parts list for your model for parts included
with the direct ignition replace.
Check the items in the kit with the parts list. Notify the supplier of
any items that are missing before installing the conversion kit.
1. Turn off the gas supply.
2. Turn off the electrical supply to the appliance if so equipped.
3. Remove top louver and lower bottom louver.
4. Remove glass frame assembly.
5. Remove logs from burner assembly.
VALVE CONVERSION
6. Remove plastic cap from regulator tting. Unscrew tting using
a 11/16" wrench. Turn tting over so end of tting marked "LPG"
(red) screws into valve. Tighten tting (snug only). Replace
plastic cap.
7. Remove 1/4" screw from air shutter.
8. Located to the right of electrodes is a burner hold-down tab.
Using needle-nose pliers, bend burner hold-down tab off the
main burner.
9. Remove main burner by pivoting main burner forward as you
slide main burner from left to right. Be careful as you remove
main burner in order to protect the electrodes from being
damaged.
10. Remove air shutter from orice tting.
11. Remove natural gas main burner orice from orice tting.
12. Install propane/LP main burner orice marked 1.65 mm for
DIRECT IGNITION PROPANE/LP GAS CONVERSION
DVX36FP53, or marked 1.80 mm for DVX42FP53.
Important: Failure to install the correct orice will result in
unit over-ring that could overheat the appliance and result
in a re.
13. Replace air shutter onto orice tting. Air shutter must be
threaded and bottomed-out onto orice tting.
14. Replace main burner onto burner assembly. Place main
burner beneath electrodes, slide main burner from right to
left into burner location, and pivot main burner away from
you and into air shutter.
15. Set air shutter opening at FULL OPEN. Tighten air shutter
in place with 1/4" screw from step 7.

main burner.
17. Refer to log placement, pages 41 to 45 to place logs onto
burner assembly.
18. Loosen screw and attach a manometer or pressure gauge to
the outlet pressure tap of the control valve.
19. Turn on the gas supply. Turn on the electrical supply to the
appliance. Check for gas leaks using soap and water solution
or leak detection solution. Bubbles indicate a leak that MUST
be corrected. Do not use an open ame to test for gas leaks.
20. Check the air shutter opening. See chart and illustration below.
21. Relight the main burners and verify proper burner ignition and
operation.
22. With the main burner burning, read the pressure on the
manometer or pressure gauge. The pressure on the gauge
should read between 9.8" and 10.2" w.c.
23. Turn off the gas supply. Turn off the electrical supply to the
appliance.
24. Remove the manometer or pressure gauge. Tighten the screw
in the pressure tap.
25. Turn on the gas supply. Turn on the electrical supply to the
appliance.
26. Immediately test all gas line connections and the control
valve for gas leaks using a soap and water solution or other
gas detection solution. Bubbles indicate a leak that MUST be
corrected. Do not use an open ame to test for gas leaks.
27. Using a ball point pen, ll out the conversion label that is
supplied with the conversion kit. Place the conversion label
adjacent to the rating plate.
