5.Save the orifices removed from the appliance for future use. They will be needed if this appliance is again converted for use with LP gas.

B.INVERT CAP IN APPLIANCE PRESSURE REGULATOR. (See figure 11).

With the appliance installed the appliance regulator should be located as shown in either figure 3, 4 or 5 (pages 4, 5 & 6). Identify the type of appliance regulator and follow the instructions in the appropriate illustration.

C.RESET THE VALVES FOR NATURAL GAS

1.Light one burner, and set on low.

2.Remove the knob.

3.Remove the rubber grommets.

4.Locate the valve adjustment screw. See figure 12.

5.Insert a slender, thin-blade screwdriver into knob hole and engage blade with slot in adjusting screw.

6.Starting from the LP position (see #5 on page 9, under C. LOW FLAME ADJUSTMENT), turn the screw counter clockwise until the flame stabilizes and matches the pictured “low” setting on figure 13. Proper adjustment will produce a stable, steady blue flame of minimum size. The final adjustment should be checked by turning the knob from high to low several times without extinguishing the flame.

After Steps A, B and C have been completed, check the appearance of each burner’s flame at the Hi and Lo settings against figure 13. If the flames appear too large or too small, make sure all steps were completed correctly.
