INSTALLER NOTICE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE LEFT WITH
THE APPLIANCE.
This kit contains components required to convert this appliance
from using Natural Gas to using Propane Gas as the only fuel.
All of these components must be replaced in order for the unit to
operate safely on Propane Gas.
When installing gas components use pipe joint compound or
Teflon tape on all pipe fittings before installing (ensure propane
resistant compounds are used, do not use pipe joint compounds
on flare fittings).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1. TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE APPLIANCE. Unplug the
power cord for the blower.
Step 2. Locate the valve behind the right side access door. Using a phil-
lips screwdriver, remove and discard the two pressure regulator
mounting screws (see Figure 3). Remove the pressure regulator
and rubber gasket. Discard all removed components. Install
the new regulator. Ensure the rubber gasket on the back of the
pressure regulator is properly positioned when installing the new
pressure regulator using the new screws supplied with this kit.
Locate the label provided in the regulator kit. Write in the required
information, then affix it to the valve.
