Conversion Kit Instructions
Conversion Sticker
4 LP Orifices (70, 86, 101, 116)
Please read Installation Instructions before beginning the conversion.
Always Provide Adequate Gas Supply
Siemens Freestanding Dual Fuel and Gas Ranges are
shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. Use this
kit to convert the appliance for LP gas use if necessary.
Observe the following:
•
Be sure the range is converted for use with the
appropriate gas before using it.
•
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of
10” of water column when used with LP gas.
•
When checking for proper operation of the regulator,
the inlet pressure must be at least 1” greater than
the operating (manifold) pressure above. When
converting for LP gas use, the pressure supplied to
the regulator must be between 11” and 14” of water
column. See step 2 “Convert Pressure Regulator
from 5” to 10” W.C.”, next page.
•
The pressure regulator located in the inlet of the
range manifold must remain in the supply line.
•
Use a flexible metal appliance connector or rigid
pipe to connect the Range to the gas supply. The
connector should have an I.D. of 1/2” and be 5’ in
length (Exception: Maximum connector length in
Massachusetts installations is 3’). In Canada, the
connector must be single wall metal and not longer
than 6’.
For Massachusetts Installations:
1. Installation must be performed by a qualified or
licensed contractor, plumber or gas fitter qualified
or licensed by the state, province or region where
this appliance is being installed.
2. Shut-off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
3. Flexible gas connector must not be longer than
36 inches.
High Altitude Installation Note:
This range is CSA certified for safe operation up to an
altitude of 10,000 ft. without any modifications (except LP
conversion, when applicable).
*The model number is stamped on the plate behind the warming or storage drawer.
Please read all instructions before proceeding.
Save the natural gas parts for possible conversion from LP back to
natural gas in the future.
WARNING
This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified
service agency in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and all applicable codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction. If the information
in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire,
explosion or production of carbon monoxide may result
causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
The qualified service agency is responsible for the
proper installation of this kit. The installation is not
proper and complete until the operation of the
converted appliance is checked as specified in the
manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the kit.
CAUTION:
(1) When connecting the unit to the propane gas,
make certain the propane gas tank is equipped
with its own high pressure regulator. In addition,
a pressure regulator was supplied with the range.
This second regulator must be installed with the
range.
The maximum gas pressure to this appliance is
not to exceed 14.0 inches water column from the
propane gas tank regulator.
The following must be met when testing supply piping
system:
a) The appliance and its individual shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5
kPa).
b) The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
