CONVERTING TO LP GAS (Sealed Burner models only)

or Converting Back to Natural Gas from LP

Broil Burner

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.

7 ADJUST LOW FLAME SETTING

1.Light the top burners and continue turning all of the surface knobs to LOW.

2.Remove all four knobs.

3.With a small flat

blade screwdriver, turn the valve set screws clockwise to decrease flame size,

counterclockwise to increase flame size.

Adjust until the flame is about the same height as the top of the burner.

4.Replace the knobs.

5.Check for flame outage by opening and closing the oven door several times. If the flame goes out, increase the flame size.

5 CONVERT AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTER

For LP gas, loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate the

shutter to the full open position. Screw 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.

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.

8 CHECK QUALITY OF FLAMES

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually.

(A) Yellow flames—

Call for service

(B) Yellow tips on outer cones— Normal for LP gas

(C) Soft blue flames—

Normal for natural gas

If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending on the type of gas you use.

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.

The conversion for sealed burner models is now complete.
