GAS CONVERSIONS
IMPORTANT: Gas conversions must be done by a qualified installer. Before proceeding with the conversion, shut off the gas supply to the range prior to disconnecting the electrical power.
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.

5.Remove the gas pressure regulator cap by using a large flatblade screwdriver, turning the regulator cap counterclockwise.
NOTE: Do not remove the spring beneath the cap.
6.Turn over the gas pressure regulator cap and reinstall on the regulator:
For Natural gas to LP, the hollow end faces outward and the letters “LP” are visible.
For LP to Natural gas, the hollow end faces inward and the letters “NAT” are visible.
7.Tighten the gas pressure regulator cap by using a large flatblade screwdriver, turning the regulator cap clockwise.
8.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 11" (27.9 cm) WCP Maximum pressure 14" (35.6 cm) WCP
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
The range 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 range 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).
To Convert Oven Bake Burner (30" [76.2 cm] and 36" [91.4 cm] models and the Right Oven Cavity on 48" [121.9 cm] models)
1.Remove oven racks and the extendable roller rack from inside the oven cavity. See the “Extendable Roller Rack” section in the Use and Care Guide.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install oven doors.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
2.Remove the oven door. See the “Oven Door” section in the Use and Care Guide.
3.Slide the bake burner cover to the right or left.
