GAS CONVERSIONS
IMPORTANT: Gas conversions from Natural gas to LP gas must be done by a qualified installer.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

To Convert Gas Pressure Regulator
1.Remove the access cap by using a wrench, turning the access cap counterclockwise.
2.Remove spring retainer from the cap by pushing against the flat side of the spring retainer. Look at the spring retainer to locate the “NAT” or “LP” position. Turn over the spring retainer so the “LP” is showing on the bottom. Snap the spring retainer back into the cap. Reinstall the cap onto the regulator.

3.Test the gas pressure regulator and gas supply line.
The regulator must be checked at a minimum 1" (2.5 cm) water column above the set pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for operation and checking the regulator setting:
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure 11" (27.9 cm) WCP Maximum pressure 14" (35.5 cm) WCP.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
To Convert Surface Burners
1.If installed, remove the burner grates.
2.Remove burner cap.
3.Remove the burner head.
NOTE: A ⁷⁄₈" socket must be used to remove the burner head of the large dual burners.
