High Altitude Conversion
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

■ 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.
To Convert Gas Pressure Regulator
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.

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

2. Unplug cooktop or disconnect power.
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

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.
