A match should never be used when testing for leaks. All fittings have been tightened and tested at the factory. If a leak is detected, tighten the fitting. Don’t use pipe dope on factory fittings.
Range Conversion to “LP”
Models 1865, 1870 & 1875
(Gas Top Models)
All our ranges are factory set to burn natural gas unless “LP” is specified. To use the range on “LP” gas, please do the following:
Order an “LP” kit from the factory. $35 UPS included.
Burner | Large | Medium | Small |
Nat. Gas | #50 (1.75 mm) | #55 (1.32 mm) | #57 (1.09 mm) |
LP/Propane | #64 (.91 mm) | #65 (.89 mm) | #70 (.71 mm) |
Store natural gas spuds so they are available for future conversions.
Installation of “LP” Spuds
Apply masking tape at the end of a 7 mm nut driver to help hold the gas orifice spud in the nut driver while changing it. Press nut driver down onto the gas orifice spud and remove by turning it counterclockwise and lifting out, set gas orifice spud aside.
Gas orifice spuds are stamped with a number on the side. Replace the LP gas orifice spud with the correct Natural gas orifice spud.
Refer to the following chart for the correct Natural gas orifice spud placement.
