Before Converting the Gas

If the appliance is not already set up for the existing type of gas, the appliance must be converted. The conversion to a different type of gas must be carried out by an authorised expert in accordance with the applicable regulations.

The type of gas and pressure that was preset at the factory are indicated in this owner's manual.

In order to convert to a different type of gas, the nozzles must be replaced and the low flame and primary air may need to be adjusted.

Warning
  • The conversion kit must be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.

  • If the information in this owner's manual is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion or production of carbon monoxide may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. The qualified service agency is responsible for the proper installation of this kit.

Caution
  • The installation is not proper and complete until the operation of the converted appliance is checked as specified in the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the kit.
