GAS CONVERSIONS

†® QUADREX is a registered trademark of NLW Holdings, Inc.

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.

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.

Tools Needed

Gather the required tools before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

Tools Needed

■ ½" combination wrench

■ ⁵⁄₈" combination wrench

■ 7 mm nut driver

Gas Conversions

■ 10 mm nut driver

■ Quadrex

■ Masking tape

■ Plastic bag for replaced parts

®†

or Phillips screwdriver

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.

1. Turn the manual shutoff valve to the closed position.

A. To range B. Manual shutoff valve “closed” position C. Gas supply line

2. Unplug range or disconnect power.

Gas Pressure Regulator

Side view for Natural Gas

Side view for LP Gas

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).

3. Remove plastic cover from gas pressure regulator cap.

4. Turn gas pressure regulator cap counterclockwise with a ⁵⁄₈"

combination wrench to remove.

NOTE: Do not remove the spring beneath the cap.

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.

A. Plastic cover B. Gas pressure regulator cap with solid end facing out C. Gas pressure regulator cap with hollow end facing out D. Washer E. Gas pressure regulator cap

5. Turn over the gas pressure regulator cap and reinstall on

regulator so that the hollow end faces out and the marking

LP” is facing the direction shown in the above drawing.

6. Replace plastic cover over gas pressure regulator cap. For Dual Fuel Models KSDB900E, JDS1450D, KSDG950E, and

JDS1750E

1. Move the range out approximately 1 ft (30.5 cm) from the wall.

2. Locate the gas pressure regulator at the lower right corner on

the back of the range.

A. Gas pressure regulator

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the gas pressure regulator.

3. Unscrew the metal cover and unscrew the blue regulator cap.

Keep the washer in place.

A. Gas pressure regulator

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the gas pressure regulator.

A. Metal cover B. Washer C. Blue regulator cap

4. Flip the blue regulator cap over and screw it back into the

XXX

metal cover.

A. Natural gas position B. LP gas position

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.”

5. Screw the metal cover securely back into place. Do not

overtighten.

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.
