LP Conversion Instructions

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 L.P. orifice spuds for the cooktop
burners can be located within a bracket
behind the storage drawer.
Do not operate the cooktop
or oven burners of this
range when using L.P.
(bottled) gas before converting
the pressure regulator and burner
orifices for L.P. gas use. Failure
to do so could cause high flames
and toxic fumes which can result
in serious injury.
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 instructions could result in
serious injury or property damage.
The qualified agency performing this
work assumes responsibility for the
conversion.
To adjust your range for use with L.P.
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.
