Converting to LP Gas (continued)
NOTE: If an orifice spud is
accidentally dropped, the cooktop
can be raised by disengaging the
2 front clips with a large flat
blade screwdriver.
DO NOT attempt to raise the cooktop without
removing all 4 burner bases.
If wires were disconnected to remove the cooktop, feed
wires through the burner holes in the cooktop° Attach
to each burner electrode terminal carefully, making
sure not to bend the termina!° Then lower cooktop
until it snaps over the clips.
7. Carefully insert
burner bases
straight down with
the tube over the
orifice spud° Replace the screws, making sure the tall
screw is opposite the burner electrode in each
burner base°
B Standard Twin Burner Models

1. Lift the cooktop.
2. Lift the burner

adjustable
wrench (depending on the size needed), 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,

To convert to LP gas, use a
I/2" wrench to turn the lower
burner orifice spud clockwise.
Tighten the spud only until it is

not overtighten the spud.
To convert to natural gas, loosen the spud about
