LP orifice spuds are in a small plastic bag packed with this Use and Care Guide or on a bracket next to the pressure regulator. LP orifice spuds have a 2-digit number and the letter “L” on top. Each orifice spud will also have 1, 2 or 3 grooves on the top, and some will have a painted side, denoting the location on the range where it is to be installed as shown below.

B Orifice Spuds for Converting to Natural Gas:

Natural gas orifice spuds have a 3-digit number and the letter “N” on the top. Each orifice spud will also have 1, 2 or 3 grooves on top denoting the location on the range where it is to be installed as shown below.

5.Put old orifice spuds back in the bag or on the bracket next to the pressure regulator to save for possible future conversion.

NOTE: If an orifice spud is

accidentally dropped, the cooktop can be raised. Release

the 2 front clips with a large flat blade screwdriver and

remove the 4 screws

under the burner heads.

When lowering it, make sure it snaps over the clips.
