CAUTION:

Before proceeding with the conversion, shut-off gas supply to the appliance prior

to disconnecting the electrical power.

WARNING

This conversion kit must be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions. All applicable codes and requirements of the authority

having jurisdiction must be followed. If the information in these instructions is not

followed exactly, 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.

STEP 1

GAS SUPPLY

Measure the incoming gas pressure to the regulator.

With the installation of this conversion kit, the cooktop should operate on

LP gas at 10" of water column pressure and on natural gas at 4" of water

column pressure.

 The pressure regulator must be connected in series with the

manifold of the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply

line.

 When checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1"

greater than the regulator output setting.

– If the regulator is set for 10" of water column pressure, the

inlet pressure must be at least 11".

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator must

be no more than 14" of water column pressure for LP gas and 9" water

column pressure for natural gas.

IMPORTANT: Disconnect the cooktop and the individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig. Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping system by closing the individual manual shut-off valve to the cooktop during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. STEP 2 REPLACE ALL BURNER AND VALVE ORIFICES A.

6. Raise the cooktop front about 6" and disconnect the 6 pin connector under the cooktop adjacent to the left front valve. 7. Push the spark electrode wire through the holes in cooktop. 8. Pick the cooktop straight up and place in a safe area where it will not be scratched or accidently knocked over. 9. To install the cooktop, reverse the procedure 1 through 8. B. To Access Burner Orifices/Jets: Unscrew the orifice using an appropriately sized conventional socket or nut driver.

STEP 3 CONVERT THE PRESSURE REGULATOR WARNING Do not remove the pressure regulator from the cooktop. To convert the regulator from Natural Gas to LP gas or LP to Natural, remove the cap screw using an adjustable wrench and reverse the plastic plunger (make sure the plunger is firmly “swapped” and seated in the cap screw, see illustration to right). Reverse Plastic Plunger LP NAT LP NAT Cap Screw STEP 4 CHECK FOR LEAKS WARNING Check for leaks before attempting to light the burners.

The first test may require some time while air is flushed out of the gas line. Turn knob to “OFF”. Repeat the procedure for each burner. STEP 6 CHECK FLAME QUALITY Check for proper burner flame characteristics (see illustrations). Burner flames should be blue and stable. Some yellow tipping may be normal on LP Gas. The flame should not have excessive noise or lifting of the flame from the burner. Due to differences in gas characteristics and burner usage (i.e. gas pressure, cleanliness, etc.
