L.P. 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 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.P.orifices 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.P.15K 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.
_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 L.P.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.
a,
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
front.

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 LP orifices during a conversion from Natural Gas to
LP Gas,paint color codes have been added to the side or top of
the orifice. See the chart in the

To prevent leakage, make sure the orifice spuds are securely screwed
into the gas supply tubes.
f. For the Extra Large burner
(Right front), the choke and set screw will be needed. Insert the
choke into the burner head, then insert the set screw into
the burner head and tighten securely. Make sure the screw head is against the shoulder
(within the choke notch) so it does not have any rotational
movement.

Return the natural orifices to the bracket and reattach the bracket and these instructions
to the range using the screw previously removed.
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 LP,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 LPgas, 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

may vary.
3. Retighten the air shutter screw.
Bake and broil flame must be checked with the door closed to
properly check flame characteristics,
4. Turn on the gas.
5. Turn on the electricity.
6. Reinstall the oven door.
7. Turn on the bake or broil burner.
8. 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.

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.
