CONVERT AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTER
For LP gas, loosen the
Phillips head screw and
rotate the shutter to the
full open position. With
baffle in place, flames
should have approximately
1-inch blue cones and
should not extend beyond
the edges of the burner baffle. After 30 seconds
of burner operation, check for flames lifting off
burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually
reduce air shutter opening until flames are
stabilized.
For natural gas, the shutter should be open
1/2
″
or about 3/4 of the way open.

CHECK FOR LEAKS
When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn
on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak
detector at all joints and connections to check for
leaks in the system.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig
to pressure test the gas supply system of the
residence, disconnect the range and individual
shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When
using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the
gas supply system, simply isolate the range from
the gas supply system by closing the individual
shut-off valve.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

CONVERTING TO LP GAS
(Sealed Burner models only)
or Converting Back to Natural Gas from LP
ADJUST LOW FLAME SETTINGS
NOTE: Only valves with
these types of knobs are
adjustable.
1. Turn all of the top burners to LOW.
2. Remove all four knobs.
3. With a small flat blade
screwdriver, turn the
valve set screws
clockwise to decrease
the flame size,
counterclockwise to
increase the flame size. Adjust until the flame is
about the same height as the top of the burner.
4. Replace the knobs.
5. Check for flame outage by opening and
closing the oven door several times. If the flame
goes out, increase the flame size.

CHECK QUALITY OF FLAMES
The combustion quality of burner flames needs
to be determined visually.
(A) Yellow flames—
Call for service
(B) Yellow tips on outer
cones—Normal for LP gas
(C) Soft blue flames—
Normal for natural gas
If burner flames look like (A), call for service.
Normal burner flames should look like (B) or
(C), depending on the type of gas you use.
With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones
is normal.
