CONVERTING TO LP GAS
(continued)
CONVERT THE SURFACE BURNER VALVES
1. Lift and lock cooktop to gain access to the
surface burner spuds. Surface burners use a
convertible orifice spud. Conversion to LP gas
use does not require additional orifices.
2. Using 1/2
² wrench, adjust oven burner spud
as follows. For Natural to LP conversion tighten
spud down clockwise until snug (approximately
2
1 ⁄
2
turns). This restricts the flow of gas through
the spuds to only that allowed by the hollow LP
metering pin. Do not over tighten.
For LP to Natural conversion, loosen spuds
counter-clockwise (approximately 2
1 ⁄
2
turns).
This increases the flow of gas around the
metering pin.
3 CONVERT THE PRESSURE REGULATOR FOR
STANDING PILOT MODELS
1. Remove the cap from the pressure regulator.
2. Remove the plunger from the cap.
3. Turn the plunger with the enlarged end down
for LP use. Turn the plunger with the small end
down for Natural gas use.
4. Replace the plunger inside the cap.
5. Replace the cap.
Remove the thermostat knob to access the
selector key. Check the selector key on the
thermostat to be certain the pointer is turned to
select the proper fuel being used (Natural or LP
gas). Replace the thermostat knob.
