Fuel Conversion Instructions
To convert this appliance from gas type to another,
follow these instructions. Before proceeding, turn
control knob to “OFF” and turn gas supply OFF. Turn
OFF any electricity that may be going to the appliance.
CAUTION: Logs may be HOT! Allow to cool before
proceeding.
This conversion procedure must be
carried out by an authorized service
provider.
1. Disconnect power to unit and shut off the gas supply.
2. Remove window frame assembly (see “Window
Frame Assembly Removal” Section).
3. Carefully remove the logs and lava rock material.
4. Remove the screws holding the burner housing
assembly in place.
5. Remove the burner housing assembly. On some
models you may need to loosen the pilot bracket
retaining screw/nut, and tilt the pilot and bracket
assembly to gain sufficient clearance to remove the
burner housing assembly.
6. Remove front and rear orifice and replace with
orifice supplied in the conversion kit.
NOTE: On 360DV/S2/S3/SL/SR, both burner orifices
are the same size.
7. Remove the screws holding the air shutter to the
burner tubes. (Fig. 46) Note the alignment of the air
shutter on the tubes. Remove the air caps and

Gently lift off pilot hood from the pilot. NOTE: Do not
remove the spring clip holding the hood in place.
Using a correctly-sized Allen key, unscrew the
exposed orifice. Insert the new orifice supplied in the

hood ensuring the index tab aligns with the notch on
the hood.
PSE Pilot
Using a suitable wrench on hexagonal body, un-
screw the pilot hood assembly from the pilot. Do not
twist the hood itself. Remove the orifice and replace
it with the new orifice supplied in the kit. Refit the
pilot hood assembly. Do not overtighten the pilot
hood. The hood must return to its original alignment.
Take care not to damage the thermocouple, thermo-
pile or igniter.
