MAKING THE LP CONVERSION (CONT.)
ADJUST BURNER FLAMES
Turn all burners full on and check the flames.
They should be blue in color with some yellow
tipping at the ends of the flame. Foreign
particles in the gas line may cause an orange
flame at first, but this will soon disappear.
NOTE: For the 18,000 BTU/HR burner (on some
models) the cooktop burner knob should be
turned to the setting before the lowest setting.
This will ensure that the entire burner is
operating.
r_ Turn the cooktop burner knob to the lowest
setting while observing the flame.
Adjust the low flame setting using the valve bypass
screw as follows:
Low-setting adjustments must be made with two
other burners in operation on a medium setting.
This prevents the low flame from being set too low,
resulting in the flame being extinguished when
other burners are turned on.

r_ Testing Flame Stability:
Test 1 - Turn the knob from "HI" to the lowest
setting quickly. If the flame goes out
at the lowest setting, increase the
flame size and test again.
Test 2 - With the burner on the lowest setting,
open and close the cabinet door
under the cooktop. If the flame is
extinguished by the air currents
created by the door movement,
increase the flame height and test
again.
I_1 Flame Recheck:
After the adjustment is made, turn all burners off.
Ignite each burner individually. Observe the flame
at the "HI" position. Rotate the valve to the lowest
setting and be sure that the flame size decreases
as the valve is rotated counterclockwise.
