CHECKING AND CONVERTING GAS TYPE

This unit comes from the factory confi gured for
one type of gas, as marked on the label behind the
control panel.

Converting this unit to burn a different type of
gas requires a conversion kit from the factory.
The professional installer who converts this
unit to burn a different gas must perform the
following functions:

1. Change brass gas orifices (included at original

shipping) on each burner to match the new gas type
(see PRODUCT DATA TABLE, Table 1).

2. Switch the convertible gas regulator (included

at original shipping, located behind the control
panel) to match the new gas type (see below).

3. Plumb the unit to the new gas supply.

4. Apply a new label behind the control panel,

indicating the new gas the unit will burn (included
with conversion kit).

HAZARDOUS OVERHEATING WILL OCCUR
IF A NATURAL-GAS ORIFICE IS USED WITH
PROPANE GAS. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF THE
CORRECT ORIFICES ARE INSTALLED, OR IF AN
ORIFICE CHANGE IS NECESSARY, REFER TO
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION: Make sure the unit is at a safe

temperature and isolated from gas and
electrical supplies before beginning
the tasks outlined below.

Note: The cooler the unit, the greater the tolerances

between the stainless-steel parts, and
therefore the easier to disassemble and
reassemble parts of the unit.

CAUTION: For your safety, exercise caution and

use adequate hand protection (such
as gloves) when handling potentially
sharp sheet-metal parts.

THIS APPLIANCE REGULATOR IS RATED FOR

PSI MAXIMUM. IF YOUR GAS SUPPLY IS

GREATER THAN

1

/

2

PSI, AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED TO REDUCE

THE INPUT PRESSURE TO THE UNIT to

1

/

2

PSI OR LESS. SEE GAS-SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

SECTION FOR PROPER GAS-SUPPLY PRESSURE.

CHECKING AND CONVERTING THE REGULATOR

Note: Each end of the plastic converter is engraved with either the letters “NAT”

or “L.P.” (propane) for the respective gasses. When the converter is in the
cap and the cap is held uppermost, the letters seen indicate the gas that
the regulator is set up for.

To convert the regulator from one gas to another, follow steps 1-4.

STEP 2:
Remove the converter (the
plastic stalk) by carefully
pulling it away from the center
of the cap (it will snap out of
its seating).

STEP 1:
Unscrew and remove the cap from the
regulator, extracting the converter.

Regulator: note the cap
on top

STEP 3:
Turn the converter around and
replace it carefully, into the
center of the cap (it will snap
into place). Check that you can
read the type of gas the unit is
set for.

STEP 4:
Replace the unit into the
regulator and screw down
until snug.
