INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIELD CONVERSION TO LPG GAS
Refer to specific instructions for each model range.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage,
injury or death. Read the installation, operating and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing equipment.
WARNING: This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the information
in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire, an explosion, or production of carbon monoxide may result
causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. The conversion kit should be installed by qualified service
personnel. The installation is not complete until the operation of the converted appliance is checked and meets
the manufacturers specifications per the instructions included with this kit.
CAUTION: Ensure the gas supply is shut off at the manual shut off valve before proceeding with the conversion.
1.
Switch off the gas at the main supply valve and allow the unit to cool down before beginning with the conversion .
2. Remove all of the grates to expose the burners and valves.
3. Remove the burners by loosening the fastening nuts located under the rear of the burner, lift the rear of the
burner and then slide it backwards.
4. Using a ½” wrench, loosen the brass orifice located on the end of the control valve.
5. Apply pipe thread compound or gas-rated Teflon tape to the thread on the end of the valve to ensure a
tight gas seal. Then replace the old orifice with the new orifice from the conversion kit.
6. Replace the burner by sliding the open end over the orifice and then secure the M5 stud through the slot in
the support bracket.

7. To operate the appliance with LP gas, the regulator must be changed to operate at 10” WC. To do this,
remove the converter cap and pin from the regulator, invert the pin and reinstall it into the cap. Replace the
cap on the regulator, ensuring that the gasket is intact and in place on the cap. (See images below.)
8. Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure, as the regulators can only withstand
a maximum pressure of ½ PSI (13” WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step down regulator is
required. The arrow on the bottom of the regulator body shows the gas flow direction and should point
downstream to the appliance.
9. Check for gas leaks using a soapy water solution. DO NOT use matches, candle flames or other sources of
ignition.
10. Replace the grates.
11. Affix the conversion rating plate adjacent to the original rating plate on the rear of the unit. Fill in the
details required on the installation plate and fix it to the rear of the unit.
