L.P. CONVERSION

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

Thisconversionmust be performed bg a qualified installeror gas supplier

in accordancewith the manufacturer'sinstructionsandall

codesandrequirementsofthe authority havingjurisdiction.Failure

to followALLinstructionscould result in seriousinjury or property

damage.Thequalified agency performingthiswork assumes

responsibilityfor the conversion.

The pressure regulator and the burner orifices are set for natural gas. To use Liquid Propane Gas,the regulator and burner orifices must be converted. The

L.Rorifices for the cooktop burners are shipped on the regulator bracket behind

the storage drawer. Also, in the same area, is a second bracket holding the L.R

!5K orifice extended spud, choke and set

screw for the front right Extra Large cooktop burner (on models so equipped).

Remove the storage drawer to locate.

A WARNING:

Do not operate the cooktop or oven burners of this range when using L.R

(bottled) gas before converting the pressure regulator and burner orifices for L.Rgas use. Failure to do so could

cause high flames and toxic fumes which can result in serious injury.

Toadjust yourrangefor usewith L.Rgas, followtheseinstructions:

!. Disconnectallelectricalpower,at the maincircuit breakerorfuse box.

2.Shutoffthegas supply to the range bg closingthemanualshut-off valve.

a. Raisethe cooktop and locate the

pressure regulator.

b. Follow the direction in 1Aor 1B

depending on your regulator type.

1B-IF THIS IS YOUR REGULATOR

a. Use an adjustable wrench to

unscrew the hex-nut cap from the pressure regulator.

b. Apply pressure and turn counter

clockwise to disassembly the plastic cap.

c. Turn the cap over and hook it into

the slots. The type of gas to be used should now be visible in the

top of the cap.

d. Screw back the hex-nut cap into

the pressure regulator.

Lift the burner assemblies straight up (set aside)to gain

access to the surface burner orifice spuds.

Using a 5/16" nut driver or adjustable wrench, remove each of the four (4)spuds on the

surface burner gas inlet tubes.

Replace them with the correct

gas spuds mounted in a holder at the right rear of the range, above the regulator. (Natural

gas spuds are "BRASS"and LP gas spuds are "SILVER")

NOTICE:

Save these orifices for future conversion back to natural gas.

Return the spuds you removed

from the inlet tubes to the holder above the regulator. (To prevent

leakage, make sure the spuds are securelg screwed into the

gas inlet tubes).

e. Replace the burner assemblies.

a. Remove all five (5)knobs,

including OVENCONTROLknob. Remove the four (4)screws

located behind the two (2)inner cooktop knobs.

b. Open the oven door. Remove the

three (3)screws located under the mainfold panel. Remove the

mainfold panel.

BAKE / BROIL BURNER ORIFICE

Remove oven door, drawer and

oven bottom. The lower burner orifice hood is located behind the drawer (on some models a

metal shield must be removed).

To convert to LP,use a !/2" wrench to turn the lower burner orifice hood clockwise (When

viewed from above) until it is snug with the base,

approximately 2 1/2 turns.

(To prevent damage when converting back to Natural Gas, do not over tighten the hood.)

Theoven bake burner assembly is located at the lower rear

compartment. A metal shield may need to be

removed on some models to access the orifice hood.

AIR SHUTTER SETTINGS FOR

BAKE AND BROIL BURNERS

1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the air shutter screw.

Adjust the air /

shutters sc

for LP gas, A_rS_

bg rotating

the shutter to the fulk

open

position. For natural gas, the shutter should be open _½"or about 3/4" of the wag open. Your final settings may vary.

Retighten the air shutter screw.

NOTICE:

Makesurethe surfaceburnercontrol knobsare inthe OFFpositionbefore

attempting to light the pilots

Bake and broil flume must be

checked with the door closed to properlg check flume

characteristics.

4. Turn on the gas.

5. Turn on the electricity.

6. Reinstall the oven door.

7. Light both surface burner pilots with a match.

8. To avoid pilot outage, use caution when closing the cooktop after lighting pilots.

ADJUSTING THE SURFACE

BURNER PILOTS

1. Locate the pilot adjustment screw. It can be accessed

through the small hole near the center of the manifold

panel.

2. To adjust, use a flat-blade screwdriver with a shaft

diameter of less than 3/16". Turn the pilot adjustment

screw until the pilot is 5/16" high.Do not reduce the flame

to less than 5/16" or a pilot outage mag occur. A pilot flame burning higher than recommended mag generate

soot {carbon black) on the bottom of the cooktop.

LIGHTING THE OVEN PILOT.

1. Locate the pilot

in the back of the oven bottom._

The pilot is ,<__f;I,_____X attached to }_'_ _ \

the left side J_q ! of the oven burner.

2. To light the oven pilot, push in and hold the oven control

knob while lighting the pilot with a long match or match

holder.

Once the oven pilot is lit,

continue holding the oven control knob for one minute

before control knob for one minute before releasing.

The pilot flame size should be

approximatelg 3/8 for LP and 1_ for natural gas.

CHECKING THE FLAME SIZE

1t,WARNING:

tf gou attempt to measure

the inner cone of the flame, please

use caution; burns could result.

1. Checking the flame size: Check the inner cone of the flame.

It should be approximatelg 1W'to sA" long for the bake and broil

burners.

_ r_INNER CONE

1/2 " to 3/4" _1/_4_ OVEN / BROIL

CHECKING THE FLAME QUALITY

The combustion quolitg of the burner flames need to be

determined visuallg. NOTE: If burner flames look like

{A}. Further air shutter adjust- ment is required. Normal burner

flames should look like (B) or (C}, depending on the type of gas

you use. With LP gas, some yellow tipping on the outer

cones is normal.

When all adjustments are mode and the results are satisfactorg:

OF FLAME

IA) Yellow Flames: Further Adjustment

Required

IB) Yellow tips on outer cones:

Normal for LP Gas

(el Soft Blue Flames: Normal for Natural Gas.

a. Replace the orifice fitting cover. b. Replace the oven baffle (flame

spreader).

c. Replace the oven bottom. IN SOME CASES:

a. With L.R gas, some gellow tipping on the outer cone is

normal. b. Foreign particles in the gas line

mag cause on orange flame at first, but this will soon disappear. SPECIALNOTE:

To convert the oven beck to natural

gas, reverse the instructions given in making L.P.Adjustments.

REPLACEOVEN PARTS Replace the oven bottom, oven racks,

oven door and broil drawer.

NOTICE:

Once the conversion is complete and checked ok, fill out the L.R Sticker

and include gour name, organization and date conversion was made.

Applg the sticker to the range near the regulator to alert others in the

future that this appliance has been converted to L.R tf converting back

to natural gas from L.R,please remove the sticker so others know

the appliance is setto use natural gas.
