CONVERTING COOKTOP BURNERS

The cooktop burners can be converted from natural to L.P. gas operation by changing the orifice
spuds on the gas valves. The L.P. orifice spuds are packed in the literature package that is shipped
with the range. Always make sure that the correct spud is installed in the valves at the proper
location (see Figure 5-2). The spuds are color-coded and identified with an orifice opening number
stamped on top.
