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 this kit.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve. Securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure

gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water column.

Examples of a qualified person include: licensed heating personnel,

authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Gather the required tools and parts necessary for correct LP gas conversion.

High Altitude Conversion

®†

adapter

To convert the cooktop for elevations above 6,560 ft (1999.5 m), order a High Altitude Conversion Kit.

For models KCGS550ESS, KCGS556ESS, KCGS950ESS and KCGS956ESS use the following parts:

■ Part Number W10679116 - LP high altitude

■ Part Number W10679118 - Natural gas high altitude

For all other models use the following parts:

■ Part Number W10679114 - LP high altitude

■ Part Number W10679113 - Natural gas high altitude

To order, see the “Assistance or Service” section of the User Guide. IMPORTANT: Gas conversions from Natural gas to LP gas must

be done by a qualified installer. Before proceeding with conversion, shut off the gas supply to the cooktop prior to disconnecting the electrical power.

Convert from Natural Gas to LP Gas

1. Turn manual shutoff valve to the closed position.

A. To cooktop B. Shutoff valve (closed position) C. Gas supply line

2. Unplug cooktop or disconnect power.

To Convert Gas Pressure Regulator

A. Access cap B. Rear of cooktop C. Gas pressure regulator D. Gas flow

3. Determine the type of regulator you have: Style 1: The cap has a slot and “NAT” printed on it.

Remove access cap by using a flat-blade screwdriver or coin, turning the access cap counterclockwise.

The gas pressure regulator has 2 settings that are stamped

CDE

on either side of the cap. Turn the cap and reinstall into regulator with the stamp “LP” visible from the outside of the regulator.

Style 2: The cap does not have a slot and requires a wrench to be removed.

Remove the access cap by using a wrench, turning the access cap counterclockwise.

Remove spring retainer from the cap by pushing against the flat side of the spring retainer. Look at the spring retainer to locate the “NAT” or “LP” position. Turn over the spring retainer so the “LP” is showing on the bottom. Snap the spring retainer back into the cap. Reinstall the cap onto the regulator.

4. Test the gas pressure regulator and gas supply line.

The regulator must be checked at a minimum 1" (2.5 cm) water column above the set pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for operation and checking the regulator setting:

LP Gas:

Minimum pressure 10" (25.4 cm) W.C.P. Supply pressure 14" (35.5 cm) W.C.P.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)

The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower

The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

5. If the burner grates are installed, remove them.

Use the following charts to match the correct gas orifice spud with the burner location and model being converted.

12. Open shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The valve is open

when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.

13. Plug in cooktop or reconnect power. REMEMBER: Once you have completed converting all of the

cooktop burners, test the cooktop for leaks by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a leak is indicated. Correct any leaks found.

14. To adjust single and dual valves, see the “Flame Height Adjustment” section.

3. Determine the type of regulator you have: Style 1: The cap has a slot and “LP” printed on it.

Remove access cap by using a flat-blade screwdriver or coin, turning the access cap counterclockwise.

The gas pressure regulator has 2 settings that are stamped on either side of the cap. Turn the cap and reinstall into regulator with the stamp “NAT” visible from the outside of the regulator.

Style 2: The cap does not have a slot and requires a wrench to be removed.

Remove the access cap by using a wrench, turning the access cap counterclockwise.
