The gas supply shall be shut off prior to disconnecting the
electrical power, before proceeding with the conversion.)

Pull the two handles straight up to unlatch the door. Using
the two latches lift the door assembly straight up and out
of the unit. Swing the front doors open or remove for access the inside of the firebox.
Step 4. Change the regulator on the front of the gas valve (follow the instructions provided by S.I.T.).
Step 5. To change the pilot, simply pull the pilot hood straight up to access the pilot injector. Using a
