Remove main burner orifice. Replace main burner
natural gas orifice with the Red colored main
burner orifice (stamped LP) supplied in the bag.

assembly using the 3/8" and 5/16" wrench to expose

orifice and replace with Yellow marked LP pilot
burner orifice supplied in the package. Replace the
compression nut on pilot burner assembly and tighten the
nut.
Reinstall the main burner with the two #6 x 3/8" long
Phillips head screws. Screw the pilot burner assembly
and pilot shield (if installed) to the burner bracket
using the Phillips head screw removed on step 7.
Clean the metal surfaces to assure proper sealing of
gasket. Reinstall entire inner door assembly to the
heater. Align screwholes of gasket with holes on
inner door and then attach inner door loosely to the
heater using all Phillips head screws. Reconnect and
tighten burner supply, pilot tube and thermocouple
at the thermostat. Handle tubes carefully to avoid
damaging them. DO NOT over-tighten or cross-thread
the connections. Now tighten all the phillips head
screws to secure the inner door firmly to the heater.
Reconnect the piezo wire to the piezo ignitor striker
connection.
Attach green CAUTION label from the bag to the
outside of the water heater near the gas control. Label

conversions. Return the bag and this Use and Care
manual to the plastic bag attached to the water heater.

to start gas flow to the thermostat. Leak test all
gas connections and caps with soap/water solution.
