5.To prevent leakage, make sure the orifice spuds are securely screwed into the gas inlet tubes. Use a small wrench to hold the inlet tube hex to prevent it from twisting.

6.Put old ortice spuds back in the bag to save for possible future conversion.

Note: If an orifice spud is accidentally dropped, the cooktop

can be raised by.\fl– disengaging

blade screwdriver.

DO NOT attempt to raise the cooktop without removing all 4 burner bases.

If wires were disconnected to remove the cooktop, feed wires through the burner holes in the cooktop. Attach to each burner electrode terminal carefully, making sure not to bend the terminal. Then lower cooktop until it snaps over the clips.

7.Carefully insert burner bases straight down with the tube over the orifice spud. Replace the screws, making sure the Ml screw is

or 5/16” wrench (depending on the size of your spuds), remove each of the four spuds on the surface burner gas inlet tubes and ‘ replace them with the correct gas spuds mounted in

a holder at the right rear of the

range, above the regulator. Natural gas spuds are brass and LP gas spuds are red or silver. (Mount the spuds that you removed from the inlet tubes back in the holder.) To prevent leakage, make sure spuds are securely screwed into gas inlet tubes.
