Instructions for Converting Range to Operate on Liquefied Petroleum Gas
Checking for Manifold Gas Pressure
If it is necessary to check the manifold
gas pressure, remove the burner cap,
inner ring, outer burner head and burner
base of the right front top burner and
connect a manometer (water gauge) or
other pressure test device to the burner
orifice. Use a rubber hose with inside
diameter of approximately ¼ ” and h
old
the end of the tube tight
over the orifice.
Turn the gas valve on. For a more
accurate pressure check, have at least
two (2) other top burners burning. Be
sure that the gas supply (inlet) pressure is
at least one inch above the specified
manifold pressure. The gas supply
6. Reconnect Gas and Electrical Supply
to Range
Leak testing of the appliance shall be
conducted according to the installation
instructions provided with the range.
7. Air Shutter Oven Burner
The air shutter for the oven burner may
need adjustment, especially if the unit has
been converted for use with LP/Propane
gas. The approximate flame length of the
oven burner is one inch (distinct inner blue
fl
ame).
a. With the toe
tick removed, set the
oven to bake at 350 °F and observe
the flame. If the flame is yellow in
color, increase the air shutter
opening size. If the flame is blue
lifting away from the burner, reduce
the air shutter opening size.
b. Turn off oven and allow it to cool
before adjusting the air shutter. To
adjust, loosen the lock screw,
reposition the air shutter and
tighten the lock screw. Retest the

8. Installation of New LP / Propane
Rating / Serial Plate
Record the model and serial number
on the LP / Propane Rating serial
plate provided in this kit. The
information can be obtained from the
existing Rating / Serial plate. Place
the new plate as close as possible to
the
existing Rating / Serial plate on
the range.
