4.Insert a flat-edge screwdriver through the top of the regulator. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.

5.While watching the manometer, turn the adjusting screw for proper regulator outlet pressure, typically 5.0" W.C. for natural gas and 11.0" W.C. for propane.

6.Perform the following to check for insufficient gas volume:

a.Fire up one burner and take a reading, then fire up all the burners on the range and take a reading.

b.Fire up all the gas appliances on that supply line and take a reading.

c.If pressure drop is greater than 1/2" W.C., go to the next step.

d.Turn off all the gas valves. Adjust the regulator to no more than 1/2" W.C. above specifications, which would be 5.5" W.C. for natural gas or 11.5" W.C. for
