in the field. The original fuel type is marked on the
rating label:
NATURAL GAS PROPANE
LEAK TESTING:
CAUTION: DO NOT TEST FOR LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.

Check all fittings for leaks using the soap solution.
FUEL CONVERSION LABEL:
Fill out and attach the fuel conversion label #0630 provided in the kit and attach it to the stove near the upper right
hand corner of the approval label inside the left hand side door of the unit.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU CHANGED THE FUEL THE
AERATION WILL REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT - SEE PAGE 20
AERATION ADJUSTMENT
ALLOW THE UNIT TO BURN FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES TO CHECK THE FLAME PICTURE.
If you have converted from Natural gas to Propane you will have to INCREASE the aeration opening as propane re-
quires more primary air to burn correctly.
If you have changed from Propane to Natural gas you may have to REDUCE the aeration opening as Natural gas re-
quires less primary air to burn correctly.
