a. For models with 1" Robertshaw valve.
2. Remove the four (4) screw which secure the top cap assembly. This assembly contains the regulator adjustment
screw and the terminal connections.
3. Replace the top cap assembly with the L.P. version.
4. Unscrew main burner orifices and replace with L.P. orifices.
NOTE: Use extreme care when removing and replacing orifices. These orifices are made of
brass and are easily damaged.
5. Reverse the procedure for reinstalling valve assembly to the dryer.
WARNING: Test ALL connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy water solution.
