Gas conversions
Gas conversions (from Natural gas to L.P. gas; or from L.P. gas to Natural gas) must be done by a qualified installer.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Shut off gas supply line valve.
Make all conversions before turning gas supply valve back on.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in explosion, fire or other injury.

5.Locate L.P. gas orifice spuds in literature package included with the range. All L.P. gas spuds are stamped with “65”. Remove Natural gas orifice spuds using a 3/8" combination wrench. Install L.P. gas orifice spuds to replace the Natural gas orifice spuds.
Place Natural gas orifice spuds in plastic parts bag for future use and keep with literature package.
Reinstall burner tube and bracket assemblies. Do not lower cooktop.
Natural gas conversion
1.Check that the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line has been turned off.

7.Locate selector key on oven thermostat and turn clockwise to the L.P. position.
8.Complete section D, “Gas connection” Page 5.
9.Lower cooktop. Reinstall screws to secure burner tubes to cooktop. Reinstall burners and grates.
10.Check for proper flame. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame 1/4" to 1/2" long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone. L.P. gas flames have a slightly yellow tip. If the flame is noisy or blowing, it is getting too much air. If the flame is soft and lazy, it is not getting enough air. If burners need adjusting, see section E, “Check operation,” Page 6.
DO NOT REMOVE THE PRESSURE REGULATOR.
3.Pressure regulator: Remove the cap from the pressure regulator. Turn the cap over so that N or NAT is visible. Replace the cap.
