This conversion kit must be installed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the
manufacturer's
instructions and all applicable codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction. Fail_ re
to follow instructions may result in fire, explosion or production
of carbon monoxide 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.
Before proceeding with the conversion, shut off the gas supply before disconnecting
electrical po_ 'er
to the range. Be sure both power supplies are off before installing the conversion kit. Failure to do so could c_ use
serious bodily injury.

NOT REMOVABLE.
Do not attempt to remove this cooktop.
Save the natural gas orifices removed from the appliance for possible
future conversion back to natural gas.
For all burner locations:
a. Remove burner grates & burner caps.
b. Use your hand to remove the burner heads.
c. Remove the factory installed natural gas orifices from the center of
the orifice holders using a 7 mm nutdriver (See Fig. 6).
d. Replace the orifice in each of the orifice holders with kit supplied
LP/Propane gas orifice (refer to the LP Kit chart listed on page
1 ; also refer to Fig, 5 for the correct LP orifice installation at
each of the surface burner locations) . Tighten each orifice until
snug. Use CAUTION not to overtighten.
e. Replace all the burner heads & caps. Match the letter located
under center of burner cap with letters located inside the burner
heads (center position is not marked - See Figs. 4 & 5).
f. Match the letter stamped on the burner skirt with the burner head
and burner cap (center position is not marked). Each of the burner
heads MUST have a burner cap installed to insure proper ignition
and gas flame size. Note: The burner electrodes must be located
properly in slot of each burner head (See Fig. 4).

Checking
Manifold Gas Pressure
If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressure, remove the
burner and connect a manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device
tothe top right front burner orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside diameter
of approximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight over orifice. Turn burner
valve on. For an accurate pressure check, have at least two (2) other
surface burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at least
one inch above specified range manifold pressure. The gas supply
pressure should never be over 14" water column. When properly adjusted
the manifold water column pressure is 10" for LP/Propane gas or 4" for
Natural gas.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 14" of water column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).

8. Adjust
The air shutter for the oven burner may need adjustment, especially if the
appliance has been converted for use with LP/Propane gas. The
approximate flame length of the oven burner is 1 inch (distinct inner blue
flame; See Fig. 10).

a.
Observe the flame to determine if the broiler burner flame is properly
adjusted, it should be steady with approximately 1" blue cones and
no yellow or orange flame tips (See Figs. 10 & 11).
b.
If adjustment to the air shutter is necessary, locate the broiler burner
air shutter (See Fig. 13), loosen shutter lock screw, and adjust to
obtain optimum flame. This will normally be completely open for LP/
Propane gas. If the flame is yellow in color, increase the air shutter
opening size. If the flame is a distinct blue, but lifting away from the
burner, reduce the air shutter opening size. Tighten the shutter set

To determine if the oven burner flame is proper:
a.
To access the air shutter you must remove the warmer drawer, see
instructions for Steps la, lb & lc.
b.
Remove the oven bottom by removing the screws at rear of oven
bottom. Lift up the rear of oven bottom and slide toward back of range
to disengage from front of oven front frame.
c.
Remove burner baffle by removing nut located on top of baffle and two
screws from front edge of oven front frame. Lift baffle straight up and
out of the oven.
d.
Set the oven to bake at 350°F and observe the flame. If the flame is

yellow in color, increase air shutter opening size. If the flame is a
distinct blue color, but lifting away from the burner; reduce the air
shutter opening size.
Turn off oven and allow to cool before adjusting air shutter. To adjust
loosen lock-screw (See Fig. 11), reposition air shutter, and tighten

Push the drawer into the range until levers "click" (approximately 2").
Pull the drawer open again to seat bearing glides into positionlf you
do not hear the levers "click" or the bearing glides do not feel
seated remove the drawer and repeat steps "a" through "c",This

Remove the LP burner orifices using 7ram nutdriver & replace with
the original factory installed natural gas orifices at their original
locations (See Fig. 5 for locations).
Convert oven burner orifice for Natural Gas by loosening spud
counter-clockwise
(See Step 3; approximately 2-1/2 turns).
Convert waist-high broiler burner orifice for Natural Gas by loosening
spud counter-clockwise
(See Step 4; approximately 1 to 1-1/2 turns).
