Note: If you have been supplied with a new pair of conversion burners, skip step seven and continue with step eight.
If you have been supplied with only the restrictor sleeves then continue with step seven.
Step seven.
Holes must
line up
For LPG to Natural gas conversion you will need to fit the natural gas restrictor sleeve. These slide
over the burner tube on the underside of the burners, and must be screwed into place so that the
porting holes line up.
Note: For Natural gas to LPG conversion simply remove the restrictor sleeves from the burners.
Step eight.
Fitting the restrictor sleeve
a) Insert the new or modified burners
and fix them into place with the
burner clamps.
b) Replace the stone tray and fix it back
onto the firebox.
c) Replace the coals, ensuring you have
only one layer. Do not heap or
mound the coals.
Step nine.
Re-attach the fascia power supply leads.
Push them together until they ‘click’. Line
up the hooks with the receptacles on the
Firebox, take advantage of the first slot in
the hook where you can rest the fascia before you push the fascia into position.
