CONVERTING TO LP GAS
3
CONVERTING SURFACE BURNERS
1. Lift cooktop.
2. Lift burner assemblies straight up and set
aside to gain access to surface burner spuds.
Natural gas
= brass
3. With a 7mm, 5/16" or small adjustable
wrench, remove each of the four spuds on the
surface burner gas inlet tubes and replace them
with the correct gas spuds mounted in a holder
at the right rear of the range, above the
regulator. Natural gas spuds are brass and LP
gas spuds are red or silver. (Mount the spuds
that you removed from the inlet tubes back in the
holder.) To prevent leakage, make sure spuds are
securely screwed into gas inlet tubes.
4. Replace the burner assemblies.
5. Keep all spuds with your range so you have
them if you move or get a different gas hook-up.

CONVERT THE OVEN BURNER ORIFICES
Oven Burner
1. Remove oven door, storage drawer and oven
bottom. The lower burner orifice spud is located
behind the storage drawer or kick panel. (On some
models, a metal shield must be removed to access
the orifice.)
2. To convert to LP gas,
use a 1/2" wrench to
turn the lower burner
orifice spud clockwise.
Tighten the spud only
until it is snug. To
prevent damage, do not
overtighten the spud.
To convert to natural gas, loosen the spud
about 2 turns.
Broil Burner
To convert to LP gas, use a 1/2" wrench to turn
the upper burner orifice spud clockwise. Tighten
spud only until it is snug with the base. To prevent
damage, do not overtighten spud.
To convert to natural gas, loosen the spud
about 2 turns.

CONVERT AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTER
For LP gas, loosen the Phillips
head screw and rotate the
shutter to the full open position.
With baffle in place, flames
should have approximately 1-
inch blue cones and should not
extend beyond the edges of the
burner baffle. After 30 seconds of burner
operation, check for flames lifting off burner
ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air
shutter opening until flames are stabilized.
For natural gas, the shutter should be open
1/2" or about 3/4 of the way open.
