DISASSEMBLING HEARTH AND BURNER SYSTEM

1. Do not remove logs from grate. Lift grate off stands. Place entire assembly outside of unit for ease of reassembly (See Figure 3).
2. Remove (2) 5/16″ hex screws holding burner in place. Slide burner forward off of orifice mount while lifting up.
3. Remove 2 side brick panels by lifting up inner edge above hearth pan and sliding brick inward into grate stand. Lift outer edge over flange of facing. If necessary, move hearth pan to one side or the other to remove remaining brick on opposite side. Center hearth pan.
4. Lift end flange of pan off of rear brick stand and raise up and out of firebox.

MAIN BURNER ORIFICE CONVERSION

1. Using a 7/8″ open end or adjustable back-up wrench, hold orifice mount while removing main burner orifice with an 11/16″ open end wrench (see Figure 4).
2. Replace main burner orifice with orifice included with kit stamped with #51. Apply a light amount of propane/LP resistant sealant to male threads. Tighten orifice into mount using back-up wrench to maintain its centered position.

PILOT BURNER ORIFICE CONVERSION

1.  Convert pilot burner by changing orifice. Remove compression nut using a 10 mm open end wrench and a 12 mm back-up wrench (see Figure 4).
2.  Remove pilot orifice from barrel. If orifice will not come out, tap lightly against barrel with handle of screwdriver.
3.  Replace pilot orifice with orifice included with kit stamped with #30. Place open end of new pilot orifice over compression sleeve and carefully slide it inside pilot burner. Tighten compression nut using back-up wrench.

IMPORTANT:
Be careful not to bend or kink aluminum tubing during conversion. Make sure compression sleeve and pilot orifice are prop-erly mated and aligned before tightening compression nut. If there is insufficient tube length to permit easy removal or reinstallation, remove pilot by loosening retaining nuts on thermopile, thermocouple and ignitor elements. With a #2 Phillips screwdriver unscrew pilot from bracket. Make certain all components are reinserted and tightened before completing orifice conversion. If, during conversion, seal is broken where leads pass through firebox bottom you must reapply RTV silicone to seal area.

REINSTALLING MAIN BURNER

1.  Reinstall hearth pan by sliding end flange over bottom edge of refractory stand. Center hearth pan. Slide front edge down between raised hearth support.
2.  Reinsert 2 side bricks in reverse order. Center view port in hearth pan over orifice mount.
3. Visually check air shutter setting on main burner. Air shutter should be fully opened for use with propane/LP gas. If not fully opened, loosen adjustment screw and turn air shutter until open-ings are fully exposed. Tighten adjustment screw.
4. Insert main burner venturi tube through center cutout in hearth pan. Slide air shutter mount over orifice (see Figure 5, pape 3). Replace 2 mounting screws.

GAS CONTROL VALVE CONVERSION
Convert gas control valve by changing valve regulator portion of gas valve.

1.  Using a TORX T20 or slotted screwdriver, remove and discard 3 mounting screws, pressure regulator tower, and diaphragm/spring components (see Figure 6).
2.  Insure rubber gasket is properly positioned on new pressure regulator assembly. Install new pressure regulator assembly to valve using new mounting screws supplied with kit. Tighten screws securely (approximately 25 in-lbs.) See Figure 7.
