CONVERTING TO LP GAS
6
CHECK FOR LEAKS
When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn
on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak
detector at all joints and connections to check for
leaks in the system.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve
from the gas supply piping. When using test
pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply
system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply
system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

ADJUST LOW FLAME SETTING
NOTE: Only valves with
these types of knobs are
adjustable.
1. Turn all of the top burners to LOW.
2. Remove all four knobs.
3. With a small flat blade
screwdriver, turn the
valve set screws
clockwise to decrease
the flame size,
counterclockwise to
increase the flame
size. Adjust until the
flame is about the
same height as the top
of the burner.
4. Replace the knobs.
5. Check for flame outage by opening and
closing the oven door several times. If the flame
goes out, increase the flame size.

CHECK QUALITY OF FLAMES
The combustion quality of burner flames needs
to be determined visually.
If burner flames look like (A), call for service.
Normal burner flames should look like (B) or
(C), depending on the type of gas you use.
With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones
is normal.

ADJUST THE SURFACE BURNER PILOTS
(for Models Equipped with Standing Pilots)
1. Raise the cooktop.
2. Locate the pilot
adjustment screw.
It can be accessed
through the small
hole near the center of the manifold panel.
3. To adjust, use a blade-type screwdriver with a
shaft diameter of less than 3/16". Turn pilot
adjustment screw until pilot is 5/16" high. Do
not reduce the flame to less than 5/16" or pilot
outage may occur. A pilot flame burning higher
than recommended may generate soot (carbon
black) on the bottom of your cooktop.
The conversion for standard twin burner models
is now complete.
(A) Yellow flames—
Call for service
(B) Yellow tips on outer
cones—Normal for LP gas
(C) Soft blue flames—
Normal for natural gas
