L.P. CONVERSION
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Thisconversionmust be performed
bg a qualified installeror gas supplier
in accordancewith the
manufacturer'sinstructionsandall
codesand requirementsof the
authority havingjurisdiction. Failure
to followALLinstructionscould result
in seriousinjury or property
damage.Thequalified agency
performingthis work assumes
responsibilityfor the conversion.
The pressure regulator and the burner
orifices are set for natural gas.To use
Liquid Propane Gas,the regulator and
burner orifices must be converted. The
L.Rorifices for the cooktop burners are
shipped on the regulator bracket behind
the storage drawer. Also, in the same
area, is a second bracket holding the L.R
!5K orifice extended spud, choke and set
screw for the front right Extra Large
cooktop burner (on models so equipped).
Remove the storage drawer to locate.
A WARNING:
Do not operate the cooktop or oven
burners of this range when using L.R
(bottled) gas before converting the
pressure regulator and burner orifices
for L.Rgas use. Failure to do so could
cause high flames and toxic fumes
which can result in serious injury.
Toadjust your rangefor usewith L.Rgas,
followthese instructions:
!. Disconnectall electricalpower,at the
main circuit breakerorfuse box.
2. Shutoff the gassupply to the range bg
closingthe manualshut-off valve.
a. Raisethe cooktop and locate the
pressure regulator.
b. Follow the direction in 1Aor 1B
depending on your regulator
type.
NOTICE:

Using a5/16" nut driver or
adjustable wrench, remove each

surface burner gas inlet tubes.
Replace them with the correct
gas spuds mounted in a holder
at the right rear of the range,
above the regulator. (Natural
gas spuds are "BRASS"and LP
gas spuds are "SILVER")
NOTICE:
Save these orifices forfuture
conversion back to natural gas.

BAKE /BROIL BURNER ORIFICE
Remove oven door, drawer and
oven bottom. The lower burner
orifice hood is located behind
the drawer (on some models a
metal shield must be removed).
To convert to LP,use a !/2"
wrench to turn the lower burner
orifice hood clockwise (When
viewed from above) until it is
snug with the base,
approximately 2 1/2 turns.
(To prevent damage when
converting back to Natural Gas,
do not over tighten the hood.)
Theoven bake burner assembly is
located at the lower rear
compartment.
A metal shield may need to be
removed on some models to access
the orifice hood.
AIR SHUTTER SETTINGS FOR
BAKE AND BROIL BURNERS
1. Use a screwdriver to loosen

bg rotating
the shutter to the fulk open
position. For natural gas, the
shutter should be open _½"or
about 3/4" of the wag open.
Your final settings may vary.
Retighten the air shutter

ADJUSTING THE SURFACE
BURNER PILOTS
1. Locate the pilot adjustment
screw. It can be accessed
through the small hole near
the center of the manifold
panel.
2. To adjust, use a flat-blade
screwdriver with ashaft
diameter of less than 3/16".
Turn the pilot adjustment
screw until the pilot is 5/16"
high.Do not reduce the flame
to less than 5/16" or apilot
outage mag occur. A pilot
flame burning higher than
recommended mag generate
soot {carbon black) on the
bottom of the cooktop.
LIGHTING THE OVEN PILOT.
1. Locate the pilot
in the back of the
oven bottom._
The pilot is ,<__f;I,_____X
attached to }_'_ _ \
the left side J_q !
of the oven burner.
2. To light the oven pilot, push in
and hold the oven control
knob while lighting the pilot
with a long match or match
holder.
.
Once the oven pilot is lit,
continue holding the oven
control knob for one minute
before control knob for one
minute before releasing.
The pilot flame size should be
approximatelg 3/8 for LP and
1_ for natural gas.
CHECKING THE FLAME SIZE
1t,WARNING:
tf gou attempt to measure
the inner cone of the flame, please
use caution; burns could result.
1. Checking the flame size:
Check the inner cone of the flame.
It should be approximatelg 1W'to
sA" long for the bake and broil
burners.
_ r_INNER CONE
OF FLAME
1/2 " to 3/4" _1/_4_ OVEN /BROIL
CHECKING THE FLAME QUALITY
The combustion quolitg of the
burner flames need to be
determined visuallg.
NOTE: If burner flames look like
{A}. Further air shutter adjust-
ment is required. Normal burner
flames should look like (B) or (C},
depending on the type of gas
you use. With LP gas, some
yellow tipping on the outer
cones is normal.
IA) Yellow Flames:
Further Adjustment
Required
IB) Yellow tips on
outer cones:
Normal for LP Gas
(el Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.
When all adjustments are mode
and the results are satisfactorg:
a. Replace the orifice fitting cover.
b. Replace the oven baffle (flame
spreader).
c. Replace the oven bottom.
IN SOME CASES:
a. With L.R gas, some gellow
tipping on the outer cone is
normal.
b. Foreign particles in the gas line
mag cause on orange flame at
first, but this will soon disappear.
SPECIALNOTE:
To convert the oven beck to natural
gas, reverse the instructions given in
making L.P.Adjustments.
REPLACEOVEN PARTS
Replace the oven bottom, oven racks,
oven door and broil drawer.
NOTICE:
Once the conversion is complete and
checked ok, fill out the L.R Sticker
and include gour name, organization
and date conversion was made.
Applg the sticker to the range near
the regulator to alert others in the
future that this appliance has been
converted to L.Rtf converting back
to natural gas from L.R,please
remove the sticker so others know
the appliance is setto use natural
gas.
