Converting your FireStar™ gas insert between natural gas and

LP can be accomplished by either changing the Quick Change

Cassette (valve and pilot assembly) or installing a conversion kit

(regulator, burner orifice and pilot orifice). Only a qualified service

technician should perform the conversion, as it requires discon-

necting the gas supply line and other procedures that should only

be performed by a qualified technician.

Cassette Removal

1. Be sure the gas supply is off and fan power cord is discon-

nected before beginning the conversion. Disconnect the gas

supply from the insert being careful not to apply pressure to

the valve in the process.

2. Remove the log set and brick panels, (see “Brick Panel & Log

Installation)

3. Remove the burner by lifting the left end and pulling the burner

gently through the block plate and past the pilot assembly.

4. Disconnect at the valve the two wire connectors from vent

safety snap switch (the uppermost black wire on terminal 1

and the black wire with the round connector located at the top

of the valve and behind the gas inlet elbow). Then disconnect

the thermostat (red and white wires) and rocker switch (black

wires) at terminals #1 & 3.

5. Remove the socket head screw attaching the cassette/body

block plate and block plate located in the bottom right end

of the firebox.

6. Remove the socket head screw fastening the pilot end of the

cassette to the burner holder.

7. Remove the three socket head screws holding the cassette

(valve/pilot assembly) to the body of the insert.

8. The cassette can now be removed by rotating the valve for-

ward and out to the right.

9. Install new, converted or serviced cassette in the reverse order

of removal. All parts and wires must be correctly reinstalled
to ensure safe and proper operation of the unit.
