A brass orifice spud is located in the center of each burner
throat about 2" (5 cm) below the cooktop. Apply masking
tape to the end of a 5/16" (7 mm) nut driver to fit snugly
over the orifice spud. Press driver down onto the spud of
the left front burner and remove by turning spud counter-
clockwise and lifting it out. Replace the Natural gas spud
with the appropriate L.R gas spud shown in the table.
Continue to replace the remaining orifice spuds, one at a
time. Place the Natural gas spuds on the spud card on the
back of the range for future use. Replace burner caps using
both screws and burner grates.

The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame
1/4" (6 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm) long.The outer cone is not as
distinct as the inner cone. L.R gas flames may have a
slightly yellow tip. If the flame is noisy or blowing, it is
getting too much air. If the flame is soft and lazy, it is not
getting enough air.
