Kenmore 79060712900 Firmware update

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY
AQUALIFIED INSTALLER.
IMPORTANT: SAVE FOR LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR'S USE.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This conversion kit must be installed by a qualified service technician in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire, explosion or production of carbon
monoxide causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. The qualified service agency is
responsible for the proper installation of this kit. The installation is not proper and complete until the
operation of the converted appliance is checked as specified in the manufacturer's instructions
supplied with this kit.
[F_ Before proceeding with the conversion, shut off the gas supply before disconnecting
electrical power to the range. Be sure both power supplies are off before installing the conversion
kit. Failure to do so could cause serious bodily injury.
When burners are converted from Natural to LP the BTU rating is as follows:
9,000 BTU* Natural Gas to 8,000 BTU* LP Gas. The LP converstion kit contains:

LP Conversion Installation Instructions marked 68L (.79mm orifice size)
*NOTE; For operation at elevations above 2000 ft.; appliance rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4 peicent for each 1000 if, above
sea level. After replacing the natural gas to LP orifices, be sure to keep the original factory installed natural gas orifices for future
range conversion back to natural gas:

1. Convert Pressure Regulator
Before proceeding with the conversion,
shut off the gas supply before disconnecting electrical
power to the range. Be sure both power supplies are
off before installing the conversion kit. Failure to do
so could cause serious bodily injury.
a. Lift and lock cooktop into raised position. Locate the gas
pressure regulator, The regulator islocated atthe right rear
of the burner box and is attached to the manifold pipe.
b. Unsnap the plastic dust cap protector from the brass
pressure regulator cap. Use a 5/8" open-end wrench to
loosen and then remove the brass pressure regulator cap
(See Fig. 1). DO NOT remove the spring from the
pressure regulator.

c. Turn the pressure regulator cap over so the hollow end
faces toward the regulator as illustrated (See Fig. 1).
Before installing the brass pressure regulator cap, be sure
to remove the dust protector and reinstall the ring portion
of the dust protector. The ring portion of the protector
MUST be installed. The ring portion of the dust protector
acts as a spacer between the regulator and brass
regulator cap when converted to LP.
d: Using a 5/8" open-end wrench tighten the pressure
regulator cap until snug.
e: Snap the dust protector back over the pressure regulator
cap.

2. Convert Surface Burners for use with LP/
Propane Gas
a. With the cooktop still in the raised position, remove the
4 Venturi surface burners using a 1/4" nutdriver as
illustrated (See Fig. 2).
b. Using a 10mm nutdriver (or 10mm open-end wrench)
remove the 4 brass Natural Gas orifices from the ends
of the surface burner valves (See Fig. 3).
c. Replace the 4 brass Natural Gas orifices with the 4
brass LP Gas orfices supplied with this kit (the 4 LP
surface burner orfices are marked 68L).
d. Use a 10mm nutdriver (or 10mm open-end wrench) to
tighten the LP orifices until snug. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
e. Replace the 4 Venturi surface burners and secure in
place using a 1/4" nutdriver (See Fig. 2).

4. Reconnect Gas & Electrical Supply to
Appliance
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according
to the Installation Instructions provided with the appliance.
Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas
pressure, remove the burner and connect a manometer
(water gauge) or other pressure device to the top right front
burner orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter of
approximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight over orifice. Turn
burner valve on. For an accurate pressure check, have at
least two (2) other surface burners burning. Be sure the gas
supply (inlet) pressure is at least one inch above specified
range manifold pressure. The gas supply pressure should
never be over 14" water column. When properly adjusted
the manifold water column pressure is 10"for LP/Propane
gas or 4" for Natural gas.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.

3. Convert Oven Burner Orifice for LP/Propane
Gas (16,000 BTU*)
a. Removeoven broilerdrawerorlowerovenfrontpanel.
b. Locate the oven burner spud (See Fig. 4).
c. Using a 1/2" open=end wrench, turn down the adjustable
spud, which injects gas into the oven burner, until snug
against the LP metering pin (approximately 2-1/2 turns).
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
a. Disconnectthe range and its individual shut-offvalve from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures greater than 14" of water
column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).
b. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 14" of water
column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).

Air Shutter _
adjustment
Fig. 5
5. Air Shutters - Surface Burners
The air shutter (adjustment)for each of the (4) top burners is
located at the open end of the venturi tube and sets on the
orifice of the valve. Should the air shutter need adjusting,
rotate the air shutters to allow more or less air into the venturi
burner tubes as needed (See Fig. 5).
Ifthe air isproperly adjusted, the flame will be steady, relatively
quiet, and have approximately 1/2" sharp blue cone (Usually
adjusted to FULL OPEN).
If the flame is yellow in color, increase air shutter opening size.
If the flame is a distinct blue, but lifting away from the burner,
reduce the air shutter opening size.
6. Air Shutter - Oven Burner
The air shutterwill need to be adjusted to FULL OPEN position
when appliance isconverted for use with LP/Propane gas. The
approximate flame length of the oven burner is 1 inch (with a
distinct inner blue flame - See Fig. 6).
1" Flame Burner
_ Baffle
Fig. 6
To determine if the oven burner flame is proper:
a. To access the air shutter you must remove the broiler
drawerorloweroven panel.
b. Remove the oven bottom by removing the screws at rear
of oven bottom. Lift up the rear of oven bottom and slide
toward back of appliance to disengage from front of oven
front frame.
c. Remove burner baffle by removing nut located on top of
baffle and two screws from front edge of oven front frame.
Lift baffle straight up and out of the oven.
d. Settheoventobakeat350°Fandobservetheflame. Ifthe
flame isyellow in color, increase air shutter opening size.
Ifthe flame is a distinct blue color, but lifting away from the
burner; reduce the air shutter opening size.
e. Turn offoven and allow to cool before adjusting air shutter.
To adjust loosen Air Shutter Lock Screw (See Fig. 7),
reposition air shutter to FULL OPEN and tighten Air
Shutter Lock Screw. Retest the burner by repeating step
"d" above. When the burner flame is a distinct blue color
burning steady, the air shutter is adjusted correctly.
f. Replaceburnerbaffleandoven bottom.
g. Lower the cooktop and replace oven broiler drawer or
lower oven front panel.

Conversion to Natural Gas
If it becomes necessary to convert the appliance back to
natural gas:
a. Disconnect gas and electrical supply from appliance.
b. Convert pressure regulator (See step 1), turn pressure
regulator cap over so the solid end of cap faces away from
pressure regulator. Place the hollow end of the pressure
regulator cap into the loop end of the plastic dust protector.
Tighten the pressure regulator cap using a 5/8" open-end
wrench tothe pressure regulator. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
c. Remove thefour LP surface burner orifices using 10mm
nutdriver (or 10mm open-end wrench) and replace with the
4 original factory installed natural gas orifices.
d. Convert Oven Burner Orifice for Natural Gas by loosening
spud counter-clockwise (approximately 2-1/2 turns; See
step 3).
e. Readjust Oven Air Shutter (See step 6).
