LP CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
This conversion must be performed by a qualified installer
or gas supplier in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and all codes and requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow ALL
instructions could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.
The pressure regulator and the burner orifices are set for natural
gas. To use Liquid Propane Gas, the regulator and burner orifices
must be converted.
The LP orifices for the cooktop burners are shipped in a box on the
back of the range.
WARNING
Do not operate the cooktop or oven burners of this range
when using LP (bottled) gas before converting the pressure
regulator and burner orifices from LP gas use. Failure to do so
could cause high flames and toxic fumes which can result in
serious injury.
To adjust your range for use with LP gas, follow these instructions:
1. Disconnect all electrical power, at the main circuit breaker or
fuse box.
2. Shut off the gas supply to the range by closing the manual shut-
off valve.
A.The pressure regulator is located on the rear of the range.
(Some models will have a metal shield protecting the regulator
that must be removed for conversion and reinstalled when
conversion is complete.) The pressure regulator is located in the
lower, right hand side of the range as viewed from the rear.

Using a 7 mm or 9/32" nut driver, remove the top burner
orifices. These may be accessed through the burner opening in
the base.
NOTICE:
Save these orifices for future conversion back to natural gas.
C.
Remove the LP orifice spuds, from the box provided. The LP
orifice spuds have the letter "L" on the top.
To aid in identifying the proper location for the LP orifices
during a conversion from Natural Gas to LPGas, paint color
codes have been added to the side or top of the orifice. See
the chart below. Each orifice may also show a series of
engraved marks (I, II, III ...)located on the top.

D. Install the LP orifices in their precise locations.
To prevent leakage, make sure the orifice spuds are securely
screwed into the gas supply tubes.
E. For the extra large burner (left front-on some models), the
choke and set screw will be needed. Insert the choke into the
burner head, then inset the set screw into the burner head
and tighten securely. Make sure the screw head is against
the shoulder (within the choke notch) so it does not have any
rotational movement.
G.
For the extra large burner (left front-on some models), the
choke and set screw will be needed. Insert the choke into the
burner head, then inset the set screw into the burner head
and tighten securely. Make sure the screw head is against

rotational movement.
Install the old orifice spuds into the metal box along with
these instructions, and replace onto the back of the range for
possible future conversion.
