To Convert Appliance For Use
With Natural Gas
Electrical power and gas must be turned off
prior to conversion.
If this appliance has been converted for use with LP gas,
each of the following modifications must be performed to
convert the unit back to natural gas.
A. REPLACE ALL ORIFICE SPUDS.
1. Perform Steps 1 and 2 on page 8.
2. Perform Step 3 on page 8.
3. For Step 4: Locate the brass natural gas orifice
spuds that were originally installed in this appliance
before its conversion for use with LP gas. Observe
the number on each of the spuds and note the
correct burner location for each spud as shown in
figures 14 and 15.

4. Complete Steps 5, 6 and 7 on page 8 to complete
the installation of natural gas main spuds in their
correct locations.
5. Save the orifices removed from the appliance for
future use. They will be needed if this appliance is
again converted for use with LP gas.
B. INVERT CAP IN APPLIANCE PRESSURE
REGULATOR. (See figure 11).
With the appliance installed the appliance regulator
should be located as shown in either figure 3, 4 or 5
(pages 4, 5 & 6). Identify the type of appliance
regulator and follow the instructions in the appropriate
illustration.
C. RESET THE VALVES FOR NATURAL GAS
1. Light one burner, and set on low.
2. Remove the knob.
3. Remove the rubber grommets if necessary.
4. Locate the valve adjustment screw. If necessary
align hole in switch cover with adjustment screw.
See figure 12.
5. Insert a slender, thin-blade screwdriver into knob
hole and engage blade with slot in adjusting screw.
6. Starting from the LP position (see #5 on page 9,
under C. LOW FLAME ADJUSTMENT), turn the
screw counter clockwise until the flame stabilizes
and matches the pictured “low” setting on figure 13.
Proper adjustment will produce a stable, steady blue
flame of minimum size. The final adjustment should
be checked by turning the knob from high to low
several times without extinguishing the flame.
After Steps A, B and C have been completed, check
the appearance of each burner’s flame at the Hi and Lo
settings against figure 13. If the flames appear too
large or too small, make sure all steps were completed
correctly.
