3. Determine the type of regulator you have:
Style 1: The cap has a slot and "NAT" printed on it.
Remove access cap by using a flat-blade screwdriver
or coin, turning the access cap counterclockwise.
The gas pressure regulator has 2 settings that are
stamped on either side of the cap. Turn the cap and
reinstall into regulator with the stamp "LP" visible from
the outside of the regulator.
Style 2: The cap does not have a slot and requires
a wrench to be removed.
Remove the access cap by using a wrench, turning
the access cap counterclockwise.
Remove spring retainer from the cap by pushing against
the flat side of the spring retainer. Look at the spring
retainer to locate the "NAT" or "LP" position. Turn over
the spring retainer so the "LP" is showing on the bottom.
Snap the spring retainer back into the cap. Reinstall the
cap onto the regulator.

4. Test the gas pressure regulator and gas supply line.
The regulator must be checked at a minimum 1" (2.5 cm)
water column above the set pressure. The inlet pressure
to the regulator should be as follows for operation and
checking the regulator setting:
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure 10" (25.4 cm) W.C.P.
Supply pressure 14" (35.5 cm) W.C.P.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing:
Line pressure testing above
The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of / psi (3.5 kPa).

High Altitude Conversions
IMPORTANT: You must convert LP gas with LP gas High
Altitude Kit Part Number W10686630 or Natural gas with
Natural gas High Altitude Kit Part Number W10686629. If you
need to convert LP gas to Natural gas high altitude or Natural
gas to LP gas high altitude, you must convert the pressure
regulator. For this, follow steps 1-3 of the necessary conversion.
LP Gas Orifice Spud Chart for High Altitude Conversion:
See chart in the "LP Gas High Altitude Conversion Kit."
