Gas conversions (from Natural gas to L.P. gas; or
from L.P. gas to Natural gas) must be done by a
qualified installer.

L.P. gas conversion

1.

Complete installation sections A-C (Pages

4-5) before converting cooktop to L.P. gas. 

Check

that main gas supply line has been shut off and
the power supply cord is disconnected.

DO NOT REMOVE THE PRESSURE REGULATOR.

2.

Open broiler drawer to locate pressure

regulator.

Pressure regulator: 

Remove plastic cover. Turn

cap marked “N” on front of pressure regulator
counterclockwise with a wrench to remove. 

Do

Not disturb or remove the spring beneath the
cap.

Turn the cap over and reinstall cap on

regulator so that the letters “L.P.” are visible.
Replace plastic cover over cap.

Fire Hazard

Shut off gas supply line valve.
Make all conversions before turning gas
supply valve back on.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in explosion, fire or other injury.

WARNING

A brass orifice spud is located in the center of
each burner throat about 2" below the cooktop.
Apply masking tape to the end of a 5/16" nut
driver to fit snugly over the orifice spud. Press
driver down onto the spud of the left front burner
and remove by turning spud counter-clockwise
and lifting it out. Replace the Natural gas spud
with the appropriate L.P. gas spud shown in the
table.

Continue to replace the remaining orifice spuds,
one at a time. Place the Natural gas spuds on the
spud card on the back of the range for future use.
Replace burners caps using both screws, and
burner grates.

Burners:

Remove burner
caps. Use a
Phillips or
Quadrex
screwdriver to
remove the two
screws holding
the burner head down. Lift the
burner head off the cooktop to uncover the
orifice spud holder. The orifice spud is recessed
in the holder.

Note: Reinstall one of the screws through the
range cooktop to hold orifice spud holder in place
while removing and replacing orifice spuds.

6.

Reinstall the storage drawer. Complete

installation sections D through E, Pages 5-7.

Checking for proper cooktop burner and oven
flame is very important.

The small inner cone should have a very distinct
blue flame 1/4" to 1/2" long. The outer cone is not
as distinct as the inner cone. L.P. gas flames
have a slightly yellow tip. If the flame is noisy or
blowing, it is getting too much air. If the flame is
soft and lazy, it is not getting enough air.

Broil burner:

Use 1/2" combination wrench

to turn the orifice hood down snug onto pin
(approximately 2 to 2-1/2 turns). 

DO NOT

OVERTIGHTEN.

The burner flame cannot be

properly adjusted if this conversion is not made.
