Propane Conversion
Before starting the conversion make sure to shut off the
gas supply to the unit and allow stove to cool to room
temperature.
To convert the gas stove from natural gas to propane, the
(GASC.LP18KIT) kit is required. This kit comes with new pilot and
burner orifi ce as well as a new pressure modulator for the valve.
To switch the pressure modulator, follow the instructions that are
provided with the conversion kit.
To change the orifi ce you are required to remove the door, and
side cladding on your right. Please refer to the appropriate
sections of this manual and follow instructions on how to correctly
remove the components.
After removing the side cladding you will have access to the
burner orifi ces’ mounting plate on right side of unit. To access the
orifi ce, remove the two nuts securing the mounting plate and pull
from side of unit (Figure 74) . The orifi ce can be removed using
a ½” (12.7 mm)socket. Before installing the new orifi ce, Loctite
567 Thread Sealant needs to be applied to the threads of the new
orifi ce to ensure a proper seal when installed.
To replace the pilot orifi ce or to clean the pilot itself, you will
need to remove the pilot hood which is held in place by a spring.
First remove the spring (Figure 73) and then remove the hood by
pulling it up from the pilot bracket. To remove the existing orifi ce
insert a 5/32” or 4mm Allen wrench into the hexagonal key-way of
the orifi ce and rotate counter-clockwise until free. Insert the new
orifi ce using the same Allen wrench and tighten it until a torque of
9 lbf in (1 Nm) is achieved. Replace the pilot hood by aligning the
tab on the base of the hood with the slot in the side of the pilot
journal, and push the hood down onto the pilot bracket. Replace
the spring by pushing it onto its seat.
Before reinstalling the cladding, the venturi shutter will have to be
adjusted to the correct opening - “Air Adjustment” on page 30
for correct adjustment of venturi.
