Whirlpool 4322452 manual Converting AN Oven Burner, Converting AN Oven Thermostat

CONVERTING AN OVEN BURNER

The oven burners use universal orifice hoods. To convert the oven burners, use a 1/2" combination wrench and turn the orifice hood 2 to 2-1/2 turns so it is just against the L.P. orifice inlet. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the hood, or you will damage the inlet. The burner flame cannot be properly adjusted if this conversion is not made. In self-cleaning ovens, both burners must be converted using the same procedure (see Figures 5-3A and 5-3B).

CONVERTING AN OVEN THERMOSTAT

If the range is equipped with a standing pilot in the oven, an adjustment for the pilot must be made. The gas for the oven’s standing pilot is supplied by the oven thermostat. Thermostats used on standing pilot ranges have a screw to adjust for natural or L.P. gas (see Figure 5-4). Turn the adjustment screw to the correct setting for the type of gas being used in the oven.
