To convert to LP gas, use a 1/2″ wrench to turn the upper burner orifice spud clockwise. Tighten spud only until it is

snug with the base. To prevent damage,

do not overtighten spud.

To convert to natural gas, loosen the spud

about 2 turns.

5 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.

″wrench touse a 1/2

turn the lower burner orifice spud clockwise. Tighten the spud only until it is snug. To prevent damage, do not overtighten the spud.

To convert to natural gas,

loosen the spud about 2 turns.

6 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

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.
