TOOLS YOU NEEDED FOR CONVERSION
2 CONVERT THE REGULATOR
Disconnect all electrical power at the main circuit
breaker or fuse box.
A. Remove the rear vent
trim (on ranges only) to
access the regulator.
The Rangetop
regulator is on the left bottom corner.
B. Shut off the gas supply by closing the manual shut-off
valve in the unit or at the wall.
C. Convert the pressure regulator:
• Unscrew the cap with plunger.
• Place your thumb against flat side of the plunger and
press down to snap the plunger out of the cap.
• Carefully look at the
plunger to locate the
NAT or LP position.
• Turn the plunger over
so that the desired
gas is showing near
the bottom.
• Snap the plunger
back into the cap.
• Screw the cap back
onto the regulator.
3 CHANGE BURNER ORIFICES
INSTALLATION TIP: First remove all
orifices and then start replacing them.
This will help to prevent the possibility
that some may not be replaced.
A. Remove the burner grates,
burner caps and burner heads.
B. Loosen the top burner
orifices using a 7 mm nut
driver. Use small pliers to
carefully lift out the orifices.
The main orifice is
located low in the
center of the burner,
while the simmer
orifice is located
higher beside the
center of the burner.
