Slide the cone to the end of the burner tube to
remove the flat end from the closed slot, turn the
burner supply tube so the narrow side slides out
of the cone.
Remove main burner orifice. Replace main
burner natural gas orifice with the Red colored
main burner orifice (stamped LP) supplied in
the bag.
Remove the compression nut from the pilot
burner assembly using the 3/8" and 5/16" wrench
to expose pilot burner orifice. Remove natural
gas pilot burner orifice and replace with Yellow
marked LP pilot burner orifice supplied in the

burner assembly and tighten the nut.
Replace main burner (Natural gas) with the
(Red) colored (LP) main burner supplied in
the package. Reinstall the two #6 x 3/8" long
Phillips head screws. Screw the pilot burner
assembly to the burner bracket using the Phillips
head screw removed on step 7.

metal surfaces to assure good adhesion of new
gasket (supplied in bag) to the inner door. Align
screw holes of new gasket with holes on inner
door and press gasket firmly in place.
Reinstall entire inner door assembly to the heater.
Ensure the speed clips are in place and the
gasket is fully sealed. Attach inner door loosely
to the heater using four #20 TORX 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 the four #20 TORX 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

service organization
Return the unused parts to the bag for possible
future conversions. Return the bag and this Use

Turn manual gas shut off valve to the ON
position to start gas flow to the thermostat. Leak
