Natural to LP/Propane Conversion Instructions (Sealed Top Burners)
This product is manufactured and adjusted for operation with natural gas as shipped from the factory. CAUTION:
Before proceeding with conversion, turn off gas supply to the appliance and disconnect the electrical power.
To operate with LP/Propane gas, the following adjustments should be made:
1. Remove the surface grates.
2. Remove the burner cap (Item #1) and the burner head (Item
#2) by lifting up.
3. Remove the venturi (Item #3).
4. Use a 11/32” (0.9 cm) socket or nut driver to remove orifice
(Item #4) and replace it with LP orifices located next ot the
pressure regulator. (See Figure 2) Save the natural gas
orifice for future use.
5. Replace the venturi (Item #3) and hand tighten. Replace the
burner head (Item #2), the burner cap (Item #1) and the
surface grates.
6. To convert surface, griddle, and grill burners to LP/Propane,
turn the burner orifice hoods clockwise until they become
snug against the internal LP/Propane pin orifice.
7. A pressure regulator is located in the left rear corner of the
burner box. To gain access to the pressure regulator,
remove the backguard. Convert the regulator by removing
the cap marked “Nat” and reverse it to read “LP”. Be sure
not to disturb or remove the spring beneath the cap.
8. Manifold presure should be checked with a manometer.
LP/Propane requires 10.0 “ W.C.P. Incoming line pressure
upstream from the regulator must be 1” W.C.P. higher than
the manifold pressure.
When installing or removing the range for service, a rolling lift
jack should be used. Do not push against any of the edges
of the range in an attempt to slide it into or out of the
installation. Although all metal parts are deburred during
manufacturing, accidents could occur if the range should be
moved suddenly or violently. Pushing or pulling a range
(rather than using a lift jack), also increases of bending the leg
spindles or the internal coupling connectors.

Surface Burner Adjustment (Sealed Top Burners)
1. Turn the lighted burners to the low flame setting. Remove the knob.
2. Insert a narrow flat-blade screwdriver into the hollow shaft of the surface burner valve located behind the control knob
and engage the slotted low flame adjustment screw. The low flame should be a small flame that comes just to the
top edge of the burner. Rotate the adjusting screw clockwise to lower the flame or counter-clockwise to increase the
flame. Turn the burner off and relight several times, turning to the low position. The low flame should light at every
port each time. Readjust as needed.
