INSTINCT NATURAL GAS TO PROPANE CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS

Preliminary Instructions:

1. Verify that the venturi replacement kit is correct for the model of boiler. See page 1.
2. Turn off electrical power supply to the boiler.
3. Close the manual gas shut off valve to the unit.
4. Remove the front panel of the Instinct (Refer to Installation and Maintenance manual).
5. Using a voltmeter ensure there is no electrical power to the boiler by checking for power on theboiler’s high voltage terminals L and N.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Ensure power to the boiler has been disconnected prior to servicing the unit.

Install the Acoustic Foam
NOTICE
The acoustic foam is only applicable to the 110 and 155 models. The Instinct 199 models do NOT use the additional acoustic foam.

1. Cut a 7″ length of 3″ diameter air inlet piping.

2. Insert the 7″ pipe into the air inlet adaptor.
   The acoustic foam should be flush to the inside of the air inlet adapter.
   NOTICE
   The INSTINCT boiler has a length of acoustic foam already installed in the air inlet adaptor. DO NOT remove this

3. Insert the length of acoustic foam (supplied), into the 7″ pipe length.

4. Use either a straight coupling or elbow to continue the air inlet installation. Refer to the Vent Supplement for full details on the installation of air and vent pipes.

Removal of Natural Gas Venturi

1. Remove the silicone tube from the air inlet elbow, then remove the air inlet elbow.

2. Rotate the venturi interface approximately 60° clockwise to release the clamping mechanism and remove the venturi interface.

3. Remove the gas valve to venturi pipe by loosening the nuts at both ends of the pipe with an adjustable wrench.
   NOTICE
   There are gaskets at both ends of the gas valve to venturi pipe. These gaskets must be reinstalled along with the pipe. Use care not to damage the gaskets.

4. Using a 10 mm socket and ratchet, remove the three (3) bolts securing the venturi to the fan assembly and remove the natural gas venturi from the unit, making sure not to damage the blower O-ring gasket.

4. Install the propane venturi

1. Verify the following when aligning the propane venturi:

2. The UP arrow on the plastic housing is pointing upward.

3. The threaded connection for the gas piping is in the correct orientation for re-fitting the gas pipe.
   
   WARNING
   Failure to retain the O-ring gasket between the venturi and the blower will cause an improper seal resulting in a potential risk of a gas leak. A gas leak can result in substantial property damage, serious injury, or death.
   ! WARNING
   Ensure the correct venturi for the model is installed. Natural gas venturis have a white identification label and LP venturis have a black label. Failure to comply will affect input rate and combustion of the boiler which can result in substantial property damage, serious injury, or death.
   NOTICE
   Do not use adhesive on any gaskets or O-rings during the reassembly process.

4. Using a 10 mm socket and ratchet, reinstall the three (3) bolts securing the venturi to the fan assembly

5. Reassemble the gas valve to venturi pipe to the gas valve and venturi taking care to ensure that the gaskets are seated properly before tightening the nut.

6. Install the venturi interface on the venturi and rotate counterclockwise until locked into place.

7. Install the air inlet elbow then attach the silicone tube.
   WARNING
   Failure to properly install the air inlet elbow and attach the silicone tube can affect combustion of the boiler which can result in substantial property damage, serious injury, or death.

8. Open the manual gas shut off valve to the unit. Before placing the boiler back into operation, test all gas connections for leaks and repair if leaks are found.
   WARNING
   Do not check for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a bubble test. Failure to test for gas leaks can result in substantial property damage, serious injury, or death.

9. Attach the propane conversion label to the gas valve and the propane conversion rating label next to the existing rating label

10. Enter the propane (LP) appliance code from the propane rating label supplied in the conversion kit:

Combustion Test and Adjustments

NOTICE
The installer MUST perform a complete combustion check to ensure the following combustion levels are met at high and low input firing rates and the burner is operating at optimum conditions.

WARNING
The combustion testing and adjustments must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. All combustion measurements must be performed with calibrated equipment to ensure proper readings and accuracy. Refer to Table 1 to check the combustion is within the acceptable range.

WARNING
Failure to perform a complete combustion test at both high and low input rates may result in incomplete combustion and the production of carbon monoxide, which can cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

1. Touch simultaneously on the up and down soft keys for 3 seconds to access the functions for the installer. See Fig. 5.
