SURFACE BURNERS TO LP/PROPANE GAS

CAUTION: This cooktop is not removable. Do not attempt to remove this cooktop. Save the natural gas orifices removed from the appliance for possible future conversion to natural gas.

For All Burner Locations:

a. Remove the top grates and burner caps.

b. Remove the burner head by removing two screws. (See figure 9). NOTE: Convert one burner at a time to avoid incorrect installation.

c.IMPORTANT: Replace these two screws after removing burner head. The screws will secure orifice holder and avoid damage to electrode or tubing while changing orifice.

d.Remove the four factory installed natural gas orifices from the center of the orifice holders using a 7mm nut driver (see figure 9). Remember to keep the original natural gas orifices for later conversion to natural gas.

e.Replace the orifice in each of the four orifice holders with the correct LP/propane gas orifice (see figure 10).

IMPORTANT: Make sure orifice is secured in nut driver before attempting to replace orifice. Tighten each orifice until snug. Use caution not to over tighten.

f.Remove screws when orifice change is complete, and remount burner heads.

IMPORTANT: Choke must be added to left front orifice holder only, as shown in figure 9.

g.Replace the burner caps and grates using caution when replacing each burner cap so that electrode is not damaged.
