9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
9 WARNING
If the information in this manual is not followed
exactly, fire or shock may result causing property
damage or personal injury.
Important Safety Instructions
• Please read Installation Instructions before beginning
the conversion
• Please read all instructions before proceeding. Save
the natural gas parts for possible conversion from LP
back to natural gas in the future
• This kit is used to convert dual fuel ranges and gas
ranges from natural gas operation to propane (LP) gas
operation. This conversion kit is only for use with BSH
Home Appliances manufactured ranges.
• CAUTION: When connecting the unit to the propane
gas,make certain the propane gas tank is equipped
with its own high pressure regulator. In addition, the
range has its own pressure regulator. Verfiy that it is
installed for the appropriate gas supply.
• The maximum gas pressure to this appliance is not to
exceed 14.0 inches water column from the propane
gas tank regulator.
• The following must be met when testing supply piping
system:
a) The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
b) The appliance must be isolated from the gas sup-
ply piping system by closing its individual manual
shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
• WARNING: This conversion kit shall be installed by a
qualified service agency in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and all applicable codes
and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If
the information in these instructions is not followed
exactly, a fire, explosion or production of carbon
monoxide may result causing property damage,
personal injury or loss of life. The qualified service
agency is responsible for the proper installation of this
kit. The installation is not proper and complete until the
operation of the converted appliance is checked as
specified in the manufacturer's instructions supplied
with the kit.
• For Massachusetts Installations:
1) Installation must be performed by a qualified or
licensed contractor, plumber or gas fitter qualified
or licensed by the state, province or region where
this appliance is being installed.
2) Shut-off valve must be a "T" handle gas cock.
3) Flexible gas connector must not be longer than 36
inches.
• High Altitude Installation Note: For high altitude
installations, please refer to customer service.

• Torx (T20)-head screwdriver
• Adjustable Wrench
• Flathead Screwdriver (1/8" or smaller)
• Phillips Head Screwdriver
Parts Included
• Conversion Kit Instructions
• Conversion Sticker
• 7 LP Orifices
• 1 Broil Orifice Hood (models that are all gas only)

it doesn’t pertain to the model purchased.
General Information
Always Provide Adequate
Gas Supply
This appliance is shipped from the factory for use with
natural gas. Use this kit to convert the appliance for LP gas
use if necessary. Observe the following:
Be sure the range is converted for use with the appropriate
gas before using it.
This appliance is designed to operate at a pressure of 10"
of water column when used with LP gas.
When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the
inlet pressure must be at least 1" greater than the operating
(manifold) pressure above. When converting for LP gas
use, the pressure supplied to the regulator must be
between 11" and 14" of water column.
The pressure regulator located in the inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supply line.
Use a flexible metal appliance connector or rigid pipe to
connect the Range to the gas supply. The connector should
have an inner diameter of 1/2" and be 5' in length
(Exception: Maximum connector length in Massachusetts
installations is 3'). In Canada, the connector must be single
wall metal and not longer than 6'.
Preparation
CAUTION: Turn off Gas and Electricity
Before proceeding with the conversion; shut off the gas
supply to the appliance prior to disconnecting the electrical
power.
1. Turn all control knobs to the "OFF" position.
2. Shut off the outside propane tank gas valve to the
range.
3. Remove range power cord from electrical outlet or turn
breaker off at breaker box

Procedure
r
Replace Cooktop Orifices
Convert Pressure Regulator from
6" W.C. to 11" W.C.
1. Remove warming drawer; Pull drawer out until stop is
reached. Facing the range, push clip on left side up
and clip on right side down. Pull drawer the rest of the
way out.
2. Remove cover plate from interior back wall by
removing single screw on left side of panel. Use a torx
T-20 head screwdriver.
3. Remove the hexagon cap from the top of the regulator
with an adjustable wrench.
4. Pop out the plastic stem in the cap and turn it over
pressing it firmly in place so that the letters "LP" (rather
than "NAT") are seen upright in the stem.
Replace the cap and button assembly into the top
of the regulator sealing it firmly. Make certain
spring is still in place (See Fig. 1). DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.

2. Remove natural gas cooktop orifices.
Insert the socket driver with 3" minimum extension into
the jet holders to remove existing orifices. Set natural
gas orficies aside.
3. Assemble LP cooktop orifices.
Place in cooktop exactly as specified on the orifice
card. Placement can be determined by matching the
orifice size to the number on the card.
4. Place the new orifice into the socket then insert each
orifice into its respective threaded hole in the jet holder.
Tighten until the orifice stops turning. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
5. Remove screws placed in jet holder to replace burner
base, burner cap and burner grate. Reinstall screws.
Note: Burner cap must be properly positioned on
burner base for burner to light.

Convert Cooktop Valves for
Propane Use
LP Gas Conversion Dual Valve
(some models):
1. Verify that all knobs are in the OFF position
2. Remove knobs (pull straight out)
3. Insert 1/8” (or smaller) flat head screwdriver into shaft
and turn bypass screw clockwise until it stops (bypass
screw is inside shaft). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Bypass Screw Inside Shaft
4. Replace knobs.
If your range is dual fuel your conversion is complete.
Replace the cover plate and warming drawer and proceed to “Test the Installation” on page 7.
Some gas cooktops/rangetops have a dual burner in the
center. The LP Gas conversion process varies slightly for
these units due to the dual valve used with them. If your
unit has a dual burner in the center please reference the
instructions that follow for the proper procedure to convert
that burner for LP Gas.
Convert Dual Valves for Propane Use
1. Verify that the dual burner control knob is in the OFF
position.
2. Remove the knob (pull straight out).
3. Locate the bypass screw (see illustration below).
Single valve stems are hollow; the bypass screw is
located inside the stem (A). Dual valves have a brass
adjustment screw (B) on the valve housing.
4. For single valves, insert 1/8” (or smaller) flat head
screwdriver into shaft and turn bypass screw clockwise
until it stops (bypass screw is inside shaft). DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN. For dual valves, locate the brass
screw near the valve stem. Turn bypass screw
clockwise until it stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
5. Replace the knob.
Adjust The Low Flame Setting
1. With at least two other burners lit, light the burner to be
adjusted and turn the knob to “LOW”.
2. As in the preceding procedure, remove the knob and
insert a screwdriver into the valve shaft.
3. Turn the adjustment screw until the flame is
appropriate for a LOW setting.
4. Replace the knob.
5. Repeat for each of the other burners.
For gas range conversions, continue to “Adjust Broil
Burner Orifice”. For dual-fuel ranges, continue to “Test
the Installation”.
