Converting the regulator to LP
The gas regulator is located in the rangetop, left side of
appliance. Exact location will vary per model.
2. Grasp the plastic button stem firmly and pull it
forcefully from the metal cap. The stem snaps snugly
into an indent in the cap and may require a strong pull
to remove. (Hint: it may be helpful to gently “rock”
the plastic stem while pulling it from the metal cap.)
3. Rotate the stem 180° so the letters “LP” on the stem
are upside down when the cap is set flat on its head.
Snap the stem back in place in this position inserting it
into the indent in the metal cap.The stem should snap
into place.
4. Reinstall conversion cap, configured for LP gas, back
into top of the regulator.
Changing the burner orifices
To prepare the nut driver for burner orifice conversions
The foam tape helps to retain the orifice in the end of the
nut driver so it will not fall inside the appliance during
orifice removal or installation.
1. Trim a small piece of the foam tape provided with this
kit (about 1/4'' x 1/2'' / 6 x 12 mm).
2. Place foam tape over the edge of a 7 mm or a 9/32''
socket with 1/4'' nut driver used to replace the burner
orifices, as shown below.
To replace the STAR
®
burner orifices
1. With the foam tape wrapped nut driver, reach down
through the jet holders and remove the gas orifice
from the STAR burner’s jet holder.
2. Locate the proper STAR burner
orifices included with the kit.
Orifices are stamped with the
orifice diameter size on the side.
3. Replace orifices as indicated in “Propane (LP) burner
orifice conversion tables” on page 10.
NOTE:
All of the replacement orifices in the conversion kit
have straight threads (not pipe threads) and do not
require thread sealing compound.
1. Remove the
conversion cap with
a 7/8'' socket or
wrench.
