Conversion of an appliance from Natural to LP Gas must only be done by a
trained, and where applicable licensed technician.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in explosion causing either death or
serious injury.
If in doubt regarding these instructions please contact Quietside Technical
Support for assistance.

Once unit is converted sticker must be applied to the rating plate showing that
gas supply has been converted

LP Conversion sequence

Step1
Disconnect Power to unit, and turn off gas supply.
Remove front panel from the unit (4 Philips screws)

Step 2
Remove white wires from Igniter and Flame Sensor.
Remove 4 Philips screws attaching retaining plate and carefully remove the
Igniter/Flame Sensor assembly from the unit.

Igniter is mounted on Left Side of assembly and has a pink mark to identify it
Flame Sensor is mounted on Right side of assembly.

Step3
Remove condensate hose from attachment points on wet recuperative heat
exchanger and Condensate siphon.

Step4
Using a crescent wrench remove the upper union nut attaching the pipe from
Gas Valve to Manifold Assembly. Gently ease the pipe away from the Manifold.

Step 5
Remove Philips screws holding Combustion Chamber Front panel and carefully
remove panel, trying not to tear gasket.

Note : If Gasket material attached to the panel does tear, remove all gasket
material using a knife blade and replace with gasket material supplied in the kit.

Step 6
With burner assembly exposed, remove the two Philips head screws attaching
the manifold to the combustion chamber.

Step 7
Gently remove the manifold from the unit

Step 8
Take new LP Gas Manifold from kit, and attach new seal gasket in grooved
channel

LP Gas Manifold will be stamped with gas type and orifice size, check manifold
against the specifications provided to ensure correct manifold has been provided
for your specific unit.

Step 9
Slide LP Manifold assembly back into the unit.
Locating pins of the Manifold will help guide it into the correct orientation.
Make sure that the gasket seals between Combustion Chamber and Manifold.

Step 10
Replace O ring from Gas Valve Pipe/Manifold connection with new one from LP
Kit.
Align Gas Valve Pipe to the Manifold and hand tighten union nut.
Make sure the Union nut tightens freely to prevent cross threading.
Once tight, use crescent wrench to fully tighten.

Make sure nut is tight on Manifold Assembly to ensure a full seal between
the Gas Valve Pipe and the Manifold.

THIS PROCEDURE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AS INCORRECT

ASSEMBLY COULD ALLOW GAS TO LEAK FROM THIS JOINT

After Manifold is attached to Gas Valve Pipe then attach Manifold to Combustion
Chamber using the two remaining screws.

Step 11
With the gasket material intact or replaced to ensure a seal, re-attach
Combustion Chamber Front Panel to the unit and tighten screws.
Make sure that the Ground Wire is attached to the Combustion Chamber
Front Panel. If the Ground Wire is not attached the unit will error code.

Step 12
Re-attach Condensate Hose to the wet recuperative Heat Exchanger and the
Condensate Siphon using the hose clamps.

Step 13
Replace Igniter and Flame Sensor assembly.
Remember Igniter is installed on Left hand side as you view the unit.

Step 14
Dip Switches #1 and #2 control the type of gas supplied to the unit
Set the Dip Switches to the following table to change the Gas type.

Dip Switch # Natural Gas LP Gas

#1 ON OFF
#2 OFF ON

Step 15
Attach LP Gas sticker to the rating plate.

Step 16
Power unit and restore gas supply.
Check for any leaks with soapy bubbles or electronic sniffer.

Step 17
Establish call for hot water at a faucet, or heat in the closed loop system, and
check unit operation

Step 18
If unit does not fire, check Dip Switch settings and ensure gas is flowing to the
unit.
It may take a couple of attempts to establish combustion as any air in the gas line
will have to be bled out.
Call Technical Support for assistance if necessary.

Step 19
Check Secondary Gas Pressures by removing screw on Manifold assembly and
using a manometer.
Using Dip Switches #4 and 5 put unit into Minimum and Maximum fire modes.

If pressures are greatly different to those shown call Technical Support for
assistance in setting gas valve pressures.

Inlet Gas pressure should be between 8” and 13” WC

Make sure that gas piping to the unit is sized for the Btu/h of the unit and also
that Inlet Gas pressure does not drop by more than 10% when the unit fires.

Always Quietside always recommends keeping a close check on the level of LP

Gas in the tank, allowing the tank to run out of gas reduces the reliability level of
all equipment.
