GAS CONVERSION
General
This range is equipped with double coaxial (universal) orifices on bake and broil burners, a convertible appliance pressure regulator and replaceable top burner orifices. The unit serial plate states which gas it was adjusted for at the factory. To convert the unit to either Natural gas or LP gas will require adjustment of the oven orifice hoods, air shutters on the oven burners, replacement of top burner orifices and adjustment of the appliance pressure regulator converter cap.
Inlet pressure to the appliance pressure regulator should be as follows for both operation and checking of appliance pressure regulator setting:
INLET PRESSURE IN | NATURAL | LP |
INCHES OF WATER COLUMN | GAS | GAS |
Minimum | 6 | 11 |
Maximum | 14 | 14 |
Appliance Pressure Regulator Conversion
(See figure 7)
The unit appliance pressure regulator must be set to match the type gas supply used. If converting from natural gas to LP gas, the appliance pressure regulator must be converted to regulate LP gas. If converting from LP gas to
natural gas, the appliance pressure regulator must be converted to regulate natural gas.
Follow the instructions below to convert the regulator for use with LP gas. (This appliance is shipped from the factory adjusted for use with natural gas.)
1.Unscrew the hex shaped cap from the neck of the regulator. (A wrench may be required to loosen the cap.)
2.Within the cap is a plastic pin. Remove this pin from the cap by applying sideward pressure to the pin. (See illustration.)
3.Invert the pin and snap it back into place within the cap by applying even finger pressure at opposing edges of the pin’s circular disc. The pin must be seated firmly and squarely in the cap.
Pin replacement may be most easily accomplished by placing the cap on a flat horizontal surface, as shown in the illustration, and applying downward finger pressure at the edges of the pin’s disc.
4.Screw the cap securely back into place in the neck of the pressure regulator. (The cap need not be
