CONVERTING A PRESSURE REGULATOR

By varying the tension of the regulator spring, the gas outlet pressure can be controlled for natural and L.P. gas. The regulator spring tension is adjusted by reversing the spring retainer (see Figure 5-1A) or the regulator cap (see Figure 5-1B).

CONVERTING COOKTOP BURNERS

The cooktop burners can be converted from natural to L.P. gas operation by changing the orifice spuds on the gas valves. The L.P. orifice spuds are packed in the literature package that is shipped with the range. Always make sure that the correct spud is installed in the valves at the proper location (see Figure 5-2). The spuds are color-coded and identified with an orifice opening number stamped on top.
