2. Can a Rinnai rice cooker be converted to a different gas type?

The Rinnai rice cookers cannot be converted. They are designed and certified for the gas type on the rating plate. We make one manual for both propane and natural gas and list the parts for both in the manual, but on the rating plate and owners manual the unit is specifically to be installed on the gas type specified on the unit. These cookers are vent free cooking appliances and cannot be converted.  Anyone attempting to do so accepts full responsibility and liability for doing so.
