L.R CONVERSION

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: This conversion

must be performed bg a

qualified installer or gas

supplier in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and

all codes and requirements of the authoritg having jurisdiction.

Failure to follow ALL instructions could result in

serious injurg or propertg

damage. The qualified agencg

performing this work assumes responsibilitg for the conversion.

The pressure regul(]tor (]nd the

burner orifices (]re set for n(]tur(]l g(]s. To use Liquid Prop(]ne Gas,

the regul(]tor (]nd burner orifices

must be converted. The L.R orifices for the cooktop burners

cooktop or oven burners

Do not operate the

of this range when using

L.P. (bottled) gas before

converting the pressure regulator

and burner orifices for L.P. gas use. Failure to do so could cause high

flames and toxic fumes which can result in serious injury.

To adjust your range for use with /.R gas, follow these instructions:

1. Disconnect all electrical power,

at the main circuit breaker or fuse box.

2. Shut off the gas supply to the range by closing the manual

shut-off valve.

Remove the storage drawer, kick panel and if applicable

the access panel to access the regulator. (Some models

will have a metal shield protecting the regulator that

must be removed for conversion and reinstalled when conversion is

complete.) The pressure regulator is located in the

lower, left hand rear corner of the range as viewed from the

Bracket-LP Orifice Spud

protected hex-nut cap.

c. Completely remove the

protective plastic cap off the threaded metal cap.

d. Turn the metal cap so the

type of gas being converted to is displayed and replace the protective plastic cover.

into the regulator. (Do not

over tighten)

d. Remove the LP orifice spuds,

from the metal bracket. LP orifice spuds have the letter

"L" on the top.

To aid in identifying the proper

location for the/P orifices during a conversion from Natural Gas to

I_PGas,paint color codes have been added to the side or top of

the orifice. See the chart in the

next column. Each orifice may also show a series of engraved

To prevent leakage, make sure the orifice spuds are securely screwed

into the gas supply tubes.

f. Install the old orifice spuds

into the metal bracket and replace both metal brackets

back on the range for possible

future conversion.

g. Return the natural orifices to

the bracket and reattach the bracket and these instructions

to the range using the screw previously removed.

_-_ CAUTION:The

before turning on the gas to

the burner. Failure to do so could result in serious injury due to high

flames and toxic fumes.

following

BAKE 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 LID,use a 1/2" 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.)

The oven bake burner assembly is located at the lower rear

compartment.

BROIL BURNERORIFICE

(on some models)

To convert to LP gas, use a 1/2" wrench to turn the upper burner

orifice hood clockwise. Tighten

the orifice hood until it is snug with the base.

(Toprevent damage when

conver-ting back to Natural Gas, do not over tighten the hood.)

AIR SHUTTER SETTINGS FOR

BAKE AND BROIL BURNERS

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

2. Adjusttheair I t !!

for LP gas, Air S_ _J by rotating

the shutter to the fully open position. Your final settings

may vary.

3. Retighten the air shutter screw.

Bake and broil flame must be checked with the door closed to

properly check flame characteristics.

Turn on the gas.

Turn on the electricity.

Reinstall the oven door.

Turn on the bake or broil burner.

As you watch the flame with the oven door closed, check

the following through the oven door window:

a. If the flames are yellow,

open the air shutter more.

b. If the flames blow away

or flutter from the burner, close the air shutter more.

The combustion quality of the burner flames need to be

determined visually.

NOTE: If burner flames look like (A). Further air shutter adjust-

NOTE: On some models the front right burner can not be adjusted. Low setting adjustments must be

made with two other burners in

operation on a medium setting. This procedure prevents the low flame from being set too low,

resulting in the flame being

extinguished when other burners

are turned on.

Turn on all surface burners.

Turn the knob on the burner

being adjusted to "LO" (LOW). Remove the knob and insert a

small, flat blade screwdriver into the valve shaft as shown

and turn clockwise to fully

tighten down the bypass

screw. Repeat for each screw.

If flame appears too low or unstable, adjust valve bypass screw slowly (turn

counterclockwise--CCW) until a stable flame exists for each

burner. Remember two other burners must be turned on to medium.

e. Additionally, for each burner

being adjusted, quickly open and close the oven door

followed by the storage drawer while observing flame.

If flame is extinguished, continue adjusting bypass screw CCW for larger flame. Repeat door and drawer

openings until flame is stable.

Once the conversion is fill out the L.P. Sticker and

include your name, organization and date conversion was made.

Apply the sticker to the range near the regulator to alert others

in the future that this appliance has been converted to L.P. If

converting back to natural gas from L.P., please remove the

sticker so others know the appliance is set to use natural gas.
