Instruction sheet
To convert the gas type of a log fire the gas valve needs to be converted and all three
injectors replaced (pilot injector and burner front and rear injectors). An adhesive gas type
label is to be filled out by the technician performing the gas conversion and attached to the
log fire rating plate.
Gas Type Conversion Procedure
Converting the Gas Valve
Both gas valve conversion kits are comprised of a fuel conversion plug and a gas type
label. The gas valve can be converted in position and is converted as follows:
1. Isolate the power and gas supply to the log fire. The
power supply can be isolated by switching off the power
point and removing the log fire 3 pin plug from the power
point.
2. Open the hinged front lower louvre (LHEC30) or remove the
front lower access panel (RFSDV34 – refer to component
replacement procedure 21 on page 41). This will provide
access to the gas valve.
3. Remove the modulating motor cover (3) by unscrewing in an anti-clockwise direction.
This will expose the gas type selector switch.
4. Using as flat bladed screwdriver rotate the gas type selector switch (4) until the arrows
point to the desired selection. Red screw for Propane and blue screw for NG.
5. Remove the existing fuel plug (5) and replace it with the new fuel plug. Red plug for
Propane and blue plug for NG.
6. Fill out the gas conversion label and adhere it to the log fire rating plate.
Injectors
To complete the gas type conversion the pilot injector will need to be replaced, as will the
burner front and rear injectors.
7. Remove and replace the front and rear burner injectors with injectors suitable for the
new gas type (for LHEC30 refer to procedure 10 on page 38 and for RFSDV34 refer to
procedure 28 on page 43).
8. Remove and replace the pilot injector with an injector suitable for the new gas type (for
LHEC30 refer to procedure 7 on page 37 and for RFSDV34 refer to procedure 25 on
page 43).
9. Restore power and gas supplies.
10. Test for gas leaks at all unions using soapy water solution.
11. Perform the gas valve safety shut down test procedure (refer to page 18).
