How to Convert the Range for use
with LP/Propane Gas
1. Convert the Pressure Regulator
To access the regulator, remove the kick panel, storage
drawer or warmer drawer. If equipped with abroiler
drawer, open drawer completely. For models equipped
with warmer drawer, follow the instructions below to
remove warmer drawer.
a, _ Electrical Shock Hazard can occur and
result in serious injury or death, Disconnect electrical
power to the range before removing the warmer
drawer for servicing.
b. Open the drawer to the fully opened position.
c, Locate glide lever on each side of drawer, pull up on the
left glide lever and push down on the right glide lever
(see figure 1).
d. Pull the drawer away from the range.

2. Convert Surface Burners for use with LP/
Propane Gas (see Figure 4)
Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP
IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove this
cooktop,
a. Remove the top grates and burner caps.
b. Remove the natural gas orifice from large and small
burners using a 7 mm nutdriver.
Save the orifices removed from the appliance for future
use to convert back to natural gas.
c. For large burners:
1. Replace orifice in large burner with supplied LP/
Propane gas 1.00 mm green orifice. Tighten orifices
until snug. Use caution not to overtighten.
2. Remove screw"A". Insert large choke with smaller
inside diameter up and cutout down, as shown in
Figure 4. Replace screw "A". Be sure screw head is
in line with recess on choke.
For small burners:
I. Replace orifice in small burner with supplied LP/
Propane gas 0.89 mm orifice. Tighten orifices until
snug. Use caution not to overtighten.
2. Remove screw "A". Insert small choke with flat side
down. Replace screw "A". Be sure screw head is in
line with recess on choke,
3. Insert LP/Propane restrictor in cavity directly
opposite from the electrode. Curved side facing
center of burner. Tighten restrictor securely in
place using screw "B"supplied. Do not overtighten
SCrew.

3. Convert Oven Burner Orifice for LP/Propane
Gas (16,000 BTU*)
a. Locate the oven burner spud shown in Figure 6.
b. Using a 1/2" wrench, turn down the adjustable spud,
which injects gas into the oven burner, until snug
against the LP/Propane metering pin (approximately
2-1/2 turns). Do not over tighten.

Cleaning Models Only
a. Open the oven door.
b. Locate the broiler burner spud and turn down until
snug against the LP/Propane metering pin
(approximately 2-1/2 turns). Do not over tighten.
S. Reconnect Gas and Electrical Supply to
Range.
Leaktesting of the applianceshall beconducted according
to the Installation Instructions provided with the Range,
Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
If it shou Id be necessary to check the ma nifold gas pressu re,
remove the burner cap, choke, and connect amanometer
(water gauge) or other pressure device to the top right rear
burner orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside dia meter 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.
a. Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off valve
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures greater than 14"
of water column pressure (approximately 112" 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 112" psig).
6. Adjust the "LOW" Setting for Linear Flow
Surface Burner Valves:

Test to verify if "LOW" setting should be adjusted
a. Push in and turn control to LITE until burner ignites.
b. Push in and quickly turn knob to LOWEST POSITION.
c. If burner goes out, reset control to OFF.
d. Remove the surface burner control knob.
e. Insert a thin-bladed screwdriver into the hollow valve
stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size
can be increased or decreased with the turn of the
screw. Turn counterclockwise to increase flame size.
Turn clockwise to decrease flame size.
Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from LITE to
LOWEST POSI'I-ION without extinguishing the flame. Flame
should be as small as possible without going out.

7. Air Shutter-Oven Burner
The air shutter for the oven burner may need adjustment,
especially if the unit has been converted for use with LP/
Propane gas. The approximate flame length of the oven
burner is 1 inch (distinct inner, blue flame).

To determine if the oven burner flame is proper:
a. To access the air shutter you must remove the warmer
drawer, see instructions on page 2,
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 range 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. Setthe oven to bake at 350°F and observe the flame. If
the flame isyellow in color, increase air shutter opening
size. If the flame isadistinct blue color, but lifting away
from the burner; reduce the air shutter opening size.
e. Turn off oven and allow to cool before adjusting air
shutter. To adjust loosen lock-screw (See Figure 9),
reposition air shutter, and tighten lock-screw.

If adjustment to the air shutter is necessary, locate the
broiler burner air shutter, loosen shutter set screw, and
adjust to obtain optimum flame. This will normally be
completely open for LP/Propane gas. If the flame is
yellow in color, increase the air shutter opening size. If
the flame is a distinct blue, but lifting away from the
burner, reduce the air shutter opening size. Tighten the
shutter set screw.

9. Replace Kick Panel, Storage Drawer or
Warmer Drawer:
(instructions for warmer drawer)
a. Pull the bearing glides to the front of the chassis
glide (see picture below).
b, Align the glide on each side of the drawer with theglide
slots on the range.
c, Push the drawer into the range until levers "click"
(approximately 2"). Pull the drawer open again to seat
bearing glides into position. If you do not hear the
levers "click" or the bearing glides do not feel
seated remove the drawer and repeat steps "a"
through"c". This will minimize possible damage to the
bearing glides.

CONVERSION TO NATURAL GAS
If it becomes necessaryto convert the range back to natural gas:
a. Disconnect gas and electrical supply from range.
b, Convert pressureregulator, turn cap over sothe solid end of
cap faces outward. Place the hollow end of the cap into the
loop end of the dust protectoT. (See step 1.)
c, Replace 1.00 mm orifices in the large burners with original
1.73 mm orifices."i'ighten the orifices until snug. Do not over
tighten. (See step 2.)
d. Replace .89 mm orifices in the small burners with original
1.60 mm orifices. Remove the LP/Propane restrictor in the
cavity directly opposite the electrode. Replace screw
previously holding restrictor in place. Oo not over tighten.
Remove the choke. Replace screw previously holding choke
in place. Do not over tighten. (Seestep 2.)
e. Convert Oven Burner Orifice for Natural Gas by loosening
spud counter-c)ockwise (approximately 2-1/2 turns). {See
step 3.)
f. Convert Waist-High Broiler Burner Orifice (Self-Cleaning
Models Only) for Natural Gas by loosening spud counter-
clockwise (approximately 2-1/2 turns). (Seestep 4.)
