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 in
plastic parts bag for future use and keep with

Checking for proper cooktop burner

and oven flame is very important.

blue flame 1/4" to 1/2" long. The outer cone is not
as distinct as the inner cone. L.P. gas flames may
have a slightly yellow tip.
