How to Convert the Range for use with LP/Propane Gas

1. Convert the Pressure Regulator

To access the gas regulator, remove the storage drawer or warmer drawer. If equipped with a storage drawer, open and remove the drawer completely. For
models equipped with a front panel, remove the front panel and skip steps b & c below. For models equipped with warmer drawer, follow all the instructions

below to remove the warmer drawer. NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONVERT MODELS THAT FEATURE A LOWER OVEN.

a. _ Electrical Shock Hazard can occur and result in serious injury or death. Disconnect electrical power to the range

before removing the warmer drawer for servicing.

b. Locate glide lever on each side of drawer, pull up on the left glide lever and push down on the right glide lever (See Fig. 1).

iNSTRUCTiONS FOR CONVERTING ALUMINUM REGULATOR:
If the regulator has an aluminum top as pictured in Fig. 3 convert the regulator in the following manner:
A. Remove the regulator access cover if equipped. Do not remove the Pressure Regulator or allow it to turn.

B. Unscrew the hex shaped cap and turn it over to access the conversion plug inside the cap. (Fig A)

Do not remove the spring from the regulator.

C. Rotate the plug 90 degrees in either direction to align the tabs on the plug with the notches in the cap. (Fig. B)

Lift the plug out of the cap.

D. Turn the plug over so that the
nib on then end of the cap faces

out and re insert into the cap.
Rotate the plug 90 degrees in

either direction to lock it into the
cap (Fig C)

E. Reinstall the cap and plug
securely onto the regulator.
F. Attach the LP conversion label

Do not remove the spring from the regulator.

C. Turn the cap over so the hollow end faces outward. Place the solid end of the cap into the loop end of the dust protector

(See Fig. 7).

D. Replace the cap on the regulator with the hollow end facing out (Fig 8). Do not over tighten the cap. Snap the dust protector over

the regulator cap.

E. Attach the LP conversion label as illustrated on page 8 then complete the remaining steps in the instructions provided with the LP

kit.

NOTE: The pressure regulator cap

may be made d brass or aluminum

2.Convert Surface Burners for use with LP/Propane Gas

This conversion kit contains multiple gas orifices for converting different styles of sealed gas surface burners. Determine

which style of gas surface burner is being converted and select the proper orifice from the designated orifice pack for that
jspecific burner styJe and size.
lSave the natural gas orifices removed from the appliance for possible future conversions to natural gas.

BURNER STYLE #1 (Non Mounted Burner) NoMountingScrews J
This burner style is not secured to the cooktop with screws and the burner head

can be lifted off the cooktop to access the orifice holder and orifice. The orifice
holder for this style of burner passes through a circular cut out in the cooktop as '_

seen in the photo. I _ _+_This style of burner will use the orifices contained in the main envelope of the

converting this burner style.
BURNER STYLE #2 (Screw Mounted Burner)

This burner is secured to the cooktop surface by two screws as seen in the photo.

Burner Secured With Screws Elongated Cooktop Opening

BURNER STYLE #1

The screw heads may be different than those illustrated. When the burner is
removed the orifice holder cutout in the cooktop can be seen to have an irregular
elongated shape. The mounting screw sockets for the burner head are also

visible. This style of burner will use the orifices contained in the separate smaller
envelope found inside the main envelope of the LP kit # GRLP3. This envelope

will be labeled " SCREW MOUNTED BURNER LP KIT". Follow the instructions on
page 4 when converting this burner style.

BURNER STYLE #3 (Screw Mounted Burner)

Burner Secured With Screws J

This burner can be identified by the two piece cap as seen in the photo. It is
secured to the cooktop surface by two screws. The screw heads may be different
than those illustrated. When the burner is removed three orifice openings can
be seen in the cooktop. This style of burner will use the orifices contained in the
separate smaller envelope found inside the main envelope of the LP kit # GRLP3.

This envelope will be labeled " SCREW MOUNTED BURNER LP KIT". Follow the
instructions on page 5 when converting this burner style.

OVAL BURNERS
There are currently two different oval surface burners used and each one requires

a different LP orifice. Both burners are rated 9500 BTU and are very similar in
appearance when the burner caps are in place. Use the photos at right to identify
which oval burner is on your range and use the appropriate orifice for that burner
when converting.

Oval Burner A - Use orifice size .89 from the main envelope. The orifice holder
for this burner will have the circular cooktop opening as seen in Burner Style #1.
Oval Burner B - Use orifice size .93 from envelope labeled " SCREW MOUNTED
BURNER LP KIT". The orifice holder for this burner will have the elongated
cooktop opening as seen in Burner Style #2.

NOTE: Some ranges may include multiple burner styles. When this is
