instructions:

1. Disconnect all electrical power, at the main circuit breaker or

fuse box.

2. Shut off the gas supply to the range by closing the manual

shut-off valve.

CONVERTING THE PRESSURE REGULATOR

CONVERTING THE COOKTOP BURNERS

A. Remove the top grates, burner caps and burner heads.

B. Using a 7 mm or 9/32” nut driver, remove the top burner

orifices. These may be accessed through the burner

opening in the base.

C. Remove the propane orifices from the box provided. The

propane orifices have the letter “L” on the top.

To aid in identifying the proper location for the propane

orifices during conversion from Natural Gas to Propane

Gas, color codes have been added to the side or top of the

orifice. See the chart below. Each orifice may also show a

series of engraved marks (I, II, III . . .) located on the top.

The pressure regulator is located on the rear of the range.

(Some models will have a metal shield protecting the regulator

that must be removed for conversion and reinstalled when

conversion is complete.) The pressure regulator is located in the

lower, left hand side of the range as viewed from the front left.

A. If this is your regulator:

1. Use an adjustable wrench to unscrew the hex-nut cap

from the pressure regulator.

2. Completely remove the protective plastic cap off the

threaded metal cap.

3. Turn the metal cap so the type of gas being converted to

is displayed and replace the protective plastic cover.

4. Screw the hex-nut cap back into the regulator.

(Do not over tighten)

B. If this is your regulator:

1. Use an adjustable wrench to unscrew the hex-nut cap

from the pressure regulator.

2. Turn the plastic cap 1/4 turn to disassemble.

3. Turn the plastic cap over and hook it into the slots.

Rotate cap 1/4 turn to reassemble. The type of gas to be

used should now be visible on the top of the cap.

4. Screw the hex-nut cap back onto the pressure regulator.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• Adjustable wrench

• 1/2” Open-end wrench

• Phillips head screwdriver

• Flat bladed screwdriver

(blade approximately

3/32” across)

• Nut drivers: 1/4”, 9/32”

or 7mm

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Death or serious injury can result from failure to follow

these instructions.

• Service by a qualified service technician only.

• Shut off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing.

• Reconnect all grounding devices after service.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

NOTICE:

If you are using propane (bottled) gas, all adjustments

described in the following steps must be made before you

make any burner adjustments.

NOTICE:

Save these orifices for future conversion back to natural gas.

WARNING

Do not operate the cooktop or oven

burners of this range when using propane (bottled) gas

before converting the pressure regulator and burner orifices

for propane gas use. Failure to do so could cause high

flames and toxic fumes which can result in serious injury.

The pressure regulator and the burner orifices are set for

natural gas. To use propane gas, the regulator and burner

orifices must be converted.

The propane orifices for the cooktop burners are shipped on

the back of the range in a small box.

D. Install the propane orifices in their precise locations.

To prevent leakage, make sure the orifice spuds are securely

screwed into the gas supply tubes.

E. Install the old orifice spuds into the metal box or bracket

along with these instructions, and replace onto the back of

the range for possible future conversion.
