CAUTION
Before proceeding with the conversion, shut off the gas
supply to the appliance prior to disconnecting the
electrical power.
Disconnect the appliance from electrical power by
unplugging the electrical cord from its receptacle or by
disconnecting power at the circuit breaker box.
To disassemble the rangetop
1. Remove the rangetop grates and the burner caps.
2. To facilitate the removal of the spill tray, remove the T-
20 star-head screws in the front face of the island trim
or backguard.
3. Use a 16 mm hex head bit for burners labeled 'D' or
'F'. Use a 9 mm hex head bit for burners labeled 'B' to
remove the burner venturi from each burner base.

TIP: If a 16 mm hex head bit is not readily available, a 5/8''
hex bit can be selected. Alternatively, a bolt with 5/8''
head either "double-nutted" or tightened into the chuck
of a power driver can be used.
