Natural Gas Conversion - KitchenAid W10271686B Installation Instructions Manual

To Convert Grill Burner (on some models)
1. Remove grill grate, wave plate, flame spreader and burner
assembly. See "Install Grill Grease Trays" section for removal
instructions. Set parts aside.
2. Use a ½" deep-well socket to remove the Natural gas orifice
hood. Replace with correct grill LP gas orifice hood. See "LP
Gas Orifice Spud/Hood Chart."

3. Turn LP gas orifice hood down tightly onto orifice base.
4. Place Natural gas orifice hoods in plastic parts bag for future
use and keep with package containing literature.
5. Open shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The valve is open
when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
REMEMBER: Once you have completed converting the grill,
test the cooktop for leaks by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show,
indicating a leak. Correct any leaks found.
6. Plug in cooktop or reconnect power.
Complete Installation
1. Refer to the "Make Gas Connection" section for properly
connecting the cooktop to the gas supply.
2. Refer to the "Electronic Ignition System" section for proper
burner ignition, operation, and burner flame adjustments.
IMPORTANT: You may have to adjust the "LO" setting for
each cooktop burner.
Checking for proper cooktop burner flame is very important.
The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame
¼" (0.64 cm) to ½" (1.3 cm) long. The outer cone is not as
distinct as the inner cone. LP gas flames have a slightly
yellow tip.
3. Refer to "Complete Installation" in the "Installation
Instructions" section of this manual to complete this
procedure.

To Convert Gas Pressure Regulator
1. Remove the access cap by using a wrench, turning the
access cap counterclockwise.
2. Remove spring retainer from the cap by pushing against the
flat side of the spring retainer. Look at the spring retainer to
locate the "LP" or "NAT" position. Turn over the spring
retainer so the "NAT" is showing on the bottom. Snap the
spring retainer back into the cap. Reinstall the cap onto the
regulator.
3. 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:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 6" (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least
1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure
shown on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
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
½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
