with a continuity tester. If the fuse is good, check the main power circuit breaker, which should be external to the kettle.

6.0CONVERTING BETWEEN NATURAL AND PROPANE GAS

WARNING: Fire or explosion hazard can cause property damage, severe injury, or death.

1. Do not attempt to use a gas control set for natural gas on propane gas or gas control set for LP gas on natural gas.

2.When making conversion, main and pilot burner orifices MUST be changed to meet appliance manufacturer’s specifications.

Standard- or slow-opening gas controls may be converted from one gas to another. To convert from natural gas to LP use the 393691 LP Conversion Kit that is included with the VR8304M Gas Control. To convert from LP to natural gas use the 394588 Natural Gas Conversion Kit (order separately). Step-opening gas controls cannot be converted.

To convert control from one gas to another:

STurn off main gas supply to the appliance.

SRemove the regulator cap screw and pressure regulator adjusting screw. See Figure 1.

SRemove the existing spring.

SInsert the replacement spring with tapered end down. See Figure 2.

SInstall the new plastic pressure regulator adjustment screw so that the top of the screw is flush (level) with the top of the regulator. Turn the pressure regulator adjustment screw clockwise six complete turns. This provides a preliminary pressure setting of about 10.0 inch W.C. (2.5 kPa) for LP regulator and 3.5 inch W.C. (0.9 kPa) for natural gas regulator.

SCheck the regulator setting either with a manometer or by clocking the gas meter.

SInstall the new cap screw.

SMount conversion label on control.

SInstall control and appliance according to appliance manufacturer’s instructions.
