Pour la conversion de cuisinières autoportantes à cavité unique à une altitude supérieure à 5000 pi (1524 m).
Two High Altitude Kits are available for select single cavity slide-in ranges. The choice depends on whether Natural gas or Liquefied Petroleum (LP) gas will be used. These instructions cover both gases and several range models with many different burners. Each kit contains orifices which will not be required for your range.

GAS CONVERSION SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
DANGER
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.
–Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
–WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•Do not try to light any appliance.
•Do not touch any electrical switch.
•Do not use any phone in your building.
•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
–Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
WARNING: Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell.
Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA.
For more information, contact your gas supplier.
If a gas leak is detected, follow the “What to do if you smell gas” instructions.
In the State of Massachusetts, the following installation instructions apply:
■Installations and repairs must be performed by a qualified or licensed contractor, plumber, or gasfitter qualified or licensed by the State of Massachusetts.
■If using a ball valve, it shall be a T-handle type.
■A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed 3 feet.

Gas Conversions
WARNING
Use a new CSA |
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.
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.

Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:
Natural gas:
Minimum pressure: 6" WCP Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
LP gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP Maximum pressure: 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial/rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).
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 Gas Pressure Regulator
NOTE: Ranges are set for Natural gas from the factory. If you are using the same type of gas before and after the conversion, the gas pressure regulator does not need to be converted. Go to the “To Convert Surface Burners” section.
For Gas Models IGL730C, WEG730H, WEG760H, MGS8880D, KSGG700E, KSGB900E, and JGS1450D
1.Remove the premium storage drawer, warming drawer or baking drawer.
2.Locate gas pressure regulator at rear of the drawer compartment.
NOTE: On models with a warming drawer or baking drawer, an access cover must be removed to access the gas pressure regulator.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the gas pressure regulator.
3.Remove plastic cover from gas pressure regulator cap.
4.Turn gas pressure regulator cap counterclockwise with a ⁄" combination wrench to remove.
NOTE: Do not remove the spring beneath the cap.

To Convert Surface Burners
1.Remove burner cap.
2.Lift the flame spreader from the burner holder.
3.Apply masking tape to the end of a 7 mm nut driver to help hold the gas orifice spud in the nut driver while changing it. Press nut driver down onto the gas orifice spud and remove by turning it counterclockwise and lifting out. Set gas orifice spud aside.

4.Locate the model/serial/rating plate on the range. It will be located on the oven frame behind the top right side of the oven door. Identify the burner ratings for this range from the nameplate.
Refer to the “Natural Gas Orifice Spud Chart for Surface Burners” or the “LP Gas Orifice Spud Chart for Surface Burners” for the gas to be used after the conversion. Identify the correct replacement orifice spuds using the nameplate burner ratings and the color code on the replacement spuds as shown in the “Natural Gas Orifice Spud Chart for Surface Burners.”
