Natural gas. Please verify the serial plate.
Note: • Do not remove the Pressure Regulator.
• If in doubt about the pressure at the manifold,
use a manometer. the inlet pressure on the
regulator must be at least 1" W.C. higher
than the outlet pressure. inlet pressure on the
regulator must never exceed 14" W.C.
1. Convert the Pressure Regulator from Natural
Gas to LP Gas (see figure 9)
A. Remove the cap from the pressure regulator.
B. Remove the plunger.
C. turn the plunger upside down with the
enlarge end DOWN.
D. Replace the plunger inside the regulator. the
letters LP or 10" W.C. should be visible on the

E. Replace the cap on the pressure regulator.
2. Convert the Pressure Regulator from LP Gas
to NATURAL Gas (see figure 10)
B. Burner Valves Conversion
(see figure 11 and 12)

1. Remove valve knobs, top grates, burner pans
and lift cooktop to gain access to valves. Locate
valve hoods (orifices) on back side of valves.
2a. To convert burner valves from Natural Gas
to LP Gas, turn valve hoods (orifices) down until
snug against the mixer pin (approximately 2 ½
turns). Do not overtighten.
2b. To convert burner valves from LP Gas to
Natural Gas, turn valve hoods (orifices) up until
it is away from the mixer pin (approximately 2 ½
turns).
3. Apply gas to the burner and adjust pilots and air
shutter on burner venturi tube to proper flame
(refer to pictures in "Burner Flame Adjustment"
