3CONVERT THE SURFACE BURNER VALVES

1.Lift and lock cooktop to gain access to the surface burner spuds. Surface burners use a convertible orifice spud. Conversion to LP gas use does not require additional orifices.

Natural Gas

Increase gas volume

2.Using 1/2″ wrench, adjust oven burner spud as follows. For Natural to LP conversion tighten spud down clockwise until snug (approximately 212 turns). This restricts the flow of gas through the spuds to only that allowed by the hollow LP metering pin. Do not over tighten.

For LP to Natural conversion, loosen spuds counter-clockwise (approximately 212 turns). This increases the flow of gas around the metering pin.
