COOKTOP SAFETY
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.
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:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
DANGER
WARNING
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 these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.

For all other models use the following parts:
To order, see the “Assistance or Service” section of the User Guide.
IMPORTANT: Gas conversions from Natural gas to Propane 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.
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
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 propane, 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.

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 access cap has a slot in it or a hex shape, without any printed text. Remove the access cap by using a flat - blade screwdriver or wrench turning the access cap counter clockwise. If Seven Universe is printed on the regulator, unthread the spring retainer by rotating it counter clockwise. If Maxitrol is printed on the regulator then apply force to the flat side of the spring retainer to remove it. Turn over the spring retainer to place the disk on the spring retainer far from the access cap. Install the Seven Universe spring retainer by turning it clockwise to thread it fully into the access cap, or for the Maxitrol spring retainer by applying pressure to snap the spring retainer into the access cap. Reinstall the cap and seal onto the regulator by turning clockwise.

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:
Propane 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge

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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge (14” [35.5 cm] 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.

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.
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.
Style 2: The access cap has a slot in it or a hex shape, without any printed text. Remove the access cap by using a flat - blade screwdriver or wrench turning the access cap counter clockwise. If Seven Universe is printed on the regulator, unthread the spring retainer by rotating it counter clockwise. If Maxitrol is printed on the regulator then apply force to the flat side of the spring retainer to remove it. Turn over the spring retainer to place the disk on the spring retainer close to the access cap. Install the Seven Universe spring retainer by turning it clockwise to thread it fully into the access cap, or for the Maxitrol spring retainer by applying pressure to snap the spring retainer into the access cap. Reinstall the cap and seal onto the regulator by turning clockwise.
