Complete Installation (Natural Gas to Propane Gas)
1. Refer to the "Make Gas Connection" section for properly
connecting the range to the gas supply.
IMPORTANT: You may have to adjust the "LO" setting for
each cooktop burner.
Checking for proper cooktop, bake and broil burner flame
is very important. The small inner cone should have a very
distinct blue flame ¼" (0.64 cm) to ½" (1.3 cm) long. The
outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone. Propane gas
flames have a slightly yellow tip.
2. Refer to "Complete Installation" in the "Installation
Instructions" section of this manual to complete this
procedure.
NOTE: Save the orifices removed from the appliance for
future use.
3. After the above conversion has been completed, check
operation of cooktop and oven burner. Make air shutter
adjustments in oven if necessary.
Adjust Air Shutters
The air shutter adjustment for the oven burner is located at the
open end of the oven burner venture tube and sits on the hood
of the oven burner valve. To adjust air shutter:
1. Loosen the screw on the air shutter.
2. Move the air shutter closed to decrease or open to in- crease
the amount of air to the flame.
3. When the flame is properly adjusted, tighten the screw.
NOTE: The burner flame should be a steady blue. A burner
with a yellow flame, un-steady flame, or a partial flame is in
need of an air shutter adjustment.
