CONVERTING TO LP GAS (Standard Twin Burner models only)
or Converting Back to Natural Gas from LP
3CONVERTING SURFACE BURNERS
1.Lift cooktop.
2.Lift burner assemblies straight up and set aside to gain access to surface burner spuds.
Natural gas | LP gas = |
= brass | red or silver |
| OR |
3.With a 7mm, 5/16″ or small adjustable wrench, 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.
4.Replace the burner assemblies.
5.Keep all spuds with your range so you have them if you move or get a different gas

4CONVERT THE OVEN BURNER ORIFICES Oven Burner
1.Remove oven door, storage drawer and oven bottom. The lower burner orifice spud is located behind the storage drawer or kick panel. (On some models, a metal shield must be removed to access the orifice.)
2.To convert to LP gas,
″wrench touse a 1/2
turn the lower burner orifice spud clockwise. Tighten the spud only until it is snug. To prevent damage, do not
overtighten the spud.
To convert to natural gas, loosen the spud about 2 turns.
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.
5 CONVERT AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTER
For LP gas, loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate the
shutter to the full open position. 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.
