CONVERTING TO LP GAS
5
CONVERT THE OVEN BURNER ORIFICES
Oven Burner
1. Remove oven door, storage drawer or broiler
drawer and oven bottom. The lower burner
orifice spud is located behind the storage drawer,
broiler 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.

CONVERT AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTER
For LP gas, loosen the
Phillips head screw and
rotate the shutter to the
Screw full open position. With
baffle in place, flames
Air Shutter
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.

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.
