Conversion To Lp Propane Gas, Low Flame Simmer Adjustments

CONVERSION TO LP (PROPANE) GAS

1Convert Regulator - Regulator is located in the lower, left hand rear corner of the range as viewed from the front. Depending on the model, remove the storage drawer, broiler drawer or false panel to access the regulator. Some models with a broiler drawer will have a metal cover over the regulator that must be removed for conversion and reinstalled when conversion is complete.

2To Convert - remove the large hex-nut which is located in the center of the regulator. Remove the plastic pin from the bottom side of the cap, turn the pin 180 degrees and snap the pin back into the cap. There are raised letters on the flat side of the plastic pin, "NAT" and "L.P.". In the"LP" position the end of the pin marked "NAT" should be snapped into the bottom of the hex-nut.

3Remove surfaced burners and replace all 4 top burner orifices spuds with the L.P. orifice spuds supplied with the range (refer to the Technical Data Sheet supplied with the product for proper L.P. spud location and orifice color identification).

4Using a 1/2" wrench, tighten the orifice hood(s) supplying gas to the oven burner(s) clockwise until snug.

Open the air shutter on the oven burner(s) to the full open position and adjust as needed.

5Adjust the low flame (simmer) setting on the surface burners.

LOW FLAME (SIMMER) ADJUSTMENTS

The top burner orifices can be removed by removing the burner cap and burner heads. Using a 7 millimeter (mm) or a 9/32" nut-driver carefully slide the driver down over the orifice and rotate counterclockwise to remove.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the orifices have a spring loaded retaining ring around the hex head to hold the orifice in the nut driver during installation and removal. A slight amount of force is required to push the nut driver down over the ring.

The top burner valves have low flame/simmer adjustment screws in the center of the control shafts. A flashlight may be required to locate the screw. A small thin blade screwdriver (approx. 3/32" blade width) is needed to access the screw.

TO ADJUST THE LOW FLAME SETTING - at least two other burners must be lit. Lite the burner being adjusted and turn the knob to "LOW". Remove the knob and insert the screwdriver into the shaft of the control valve. Turn the adjustment screw to reach the desired flame size.

TEST FLAME STABILITY - by quickly turning the knob from "HI" to "LOW". If the flame goes out, increase the flame size and test again. Also test flame stability by quickly opening and closing the oven door. If the flame is extinguished by the air current created by the door movement, increase the flame size.

TOP BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENTS

The top burners do not have air shutters adjustments and use non-adjustable orifices. If the flame lifts off of the burner, or if you experience "Yellow Tip" flames and/or soot in the flames, be sure to check the following:

Gas pressure: 4" W.C.P. (natural) and 10" W.C.P. (L.P.)
