545. FIREPLACE CONVERSIONTo convert your propane gas fireplace to natural gas or vice versa, you need to contact your supplier toget the SmartCase® required for the desired conversion.5.1. CHANGING THE SMARTCASE®If a component of the SmartCase® is broken, it is strongly recommended to completely remove the SmartCase®for easier handling. For more complex problems, simply replace the SmartCase® by a new one. Open the door as described in section 8.3.1. Remove the burner as described in section 3.6 Disconnect the SmartCase® plug located on theelectrical box made of two power outlets; on theleft of the SmartCase®. Close the manual gas valve. Unscrew the gas intake pipe from the SmartCase®. Unscrew the four screws from the SmartCase® asillustrated in figure 5.1. Then carefully remove the SmartCase® from thefireplace. Note: It is strongly recommended to plan for a 12 in. minimum additional length of gas pipe inside thefireplace (under the combustion chamber) to make SmartCase® maintenance easier. This way, thetechnician will not have to disconnect the gas supply to work on the SmartCase®.CAUTIONYou can make the fireplace less powerful (reduce the number of BTUs), but you cannot make itmore powerful due to the type of glass used for this fireplace.Any changes to your fireplace must be performed by a certified professional.It is forbidden to use damaged replacement parts or replacement parts not authorized by JA Roby.Figure 5.1
