Gas Conversion Procedure
Refer to fig. 27, Illustrated Parts Breakdown, to identify
part numbers below.
1. Turn off gas supply to stove.
2. Remove the stove Top Plate (3).
3. Remove the front plate from the stove. Pull the
casting straight up and out away from the side
panels. Pull the panel upward with one hand while
the other pushes against the top of the firebox.
4. Release the Glass Clips (7) at the top of the firebox.
Carefully lift the glass panel up and out.
5. Remove the Log Set (8) using care not to scratch or
damage logs.
6. Lift out the Front Log Support/Screen (21) and Air
Divider (46).
7. LIFT OUT THE BURNER TUBE (10): NOTE: There are no
screws securing the Burner Tube to the floor of the
firebox.

ended wrench or deep-well socket remove the burner
orifice and replace with the appropriate orifice
supplied in the kit.
#49 for NG
#59 for LPG
9. Adjust the Air Shutter on the Burner Tube (10) to

remove the Pilot Head by pulling it straight up from
the pilot base. See fig. 17.
Using the 4 mm allen wrench that is included with
the conversion kit, unscrew the pilot orifice (counter-
clockwise). Replace with the appropriate orifice:

11. Tighten orifice into the base of the pilot assembly. To
prevent bypass leaks, be sure the orifice is secured
tightly and flush with the base. Replace pilot head by
pushing it down onto the pilot base. See fig. 17.

screwdriver, remove the three specialty screws from

16. Reassemble the stove, apply gas to the system and
check for leaks using a soapy water solution.
