CHECKING AND CONVERTING GAS TYPE
This unit comes from the factory confi gured for one type
of gas, as marked on the label located behind the control
panel, or on the interior of the unit’s enclosure.
Converting this unit to burn a different type of gas
requires a conversion kit (contact your dealer for
details). The professional installer who converts this
unit to burn a different gas must perform the following
functions:
1. Change brass gas orifi ces (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 (if equipped) to
match the new gas type (see section below).
3. Plumb the unit as appropriate for the new gas supply.
4. Apply the label for the new gas (included at original
shipping) over the old gas information found on your
unit.
THIS APPLIANCE REGULATOR IS RATED FOR 1 /
2
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 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.

WARNING
WARNING
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.

gloves) when handling potentially sharp
sheet-metal parts.
