13. Fill in the conversion label (Figure 37) . Peel off the protective backing and apply the conversion label directly over the gas specifications on the rating label. Rating label can be found on a metal plate stored on the left hand side of the fireplace, behind the decorative trim.
14. Reattach the access cover, right hand enamel panel piece, burner tray, sand and rock set.

For complete valve installation instructions, refer to the instruction book included in the SIT conversion kit.

Gas Pressure Check

Note: To test the gas pressure, turn off the gas supply before removing the plug from the sup-ply pressure test port or manifold pressure test port.
Verify gas pressures with the fireplace lit and on the highest setting.

1. Remove the plug from the pressure test port. The plug is located between the right side lintel and firebox side (Figure 39).
2. Thread the extension test fitting into the open port (Figure 40).
3. Attach a pressure gauge onto the fitting.
4. When testing is complete shut off the gas, remove the fitting and replace the plug. Thread sealant will be required to ensure a gas tight connection.

Figure 39: Adjusting manifold pressure.

Burner Flame Adjustment

The air shutter on the burner tube controls the primary combustion air. It is set to the closed position at the factory for natural gas fuel. Some adjustment may be necessary to obtain desired flame and to eliminate carbon deposits. Evaluate flame appearance after the fireplace has reached operating temperature. See (Figure 42) for proper flame pattern.
Open primary air if the window glass and firebox have carbon accumulation and/or the flames are long, dark and stringy. The shutter may also be opened to lessen the flame height.

Figure 41: Desirable flame appearance.

NOTE:
Proper air shutter setting is required, fully closed for natural gas and half open for propane.
The flame should be just orange and “lazy”. It should NEVER be set to create sooting on internal parts and window glass.
