CONVERTING TO LP GAS (Standard Twin Burner models only)
or Converting Back to Natural Gas from LP
ADJUST THE SURFACE BURNER PILOTS
(for Models Equipped with Standing Pilots)
1. Raise the cooktop.
2. Locate the pilot
adjustment screw.
It can be accessed
through the small
hole near the center of the manifold panel.
3. To adjust, use a blade-type screwdriver with a
shaft diameter of less than 3/16. Turn pilot
adjustment screw until pilot is 5/16high. Do
not reduce the flame to less than 5/16or pilot
outage may occur. A pilot flame burning higher
than recommended may generate soot (carbon
black) on the bottom of your cooktop.

CHECK QUALITY OF FLAMES
The combustion quality of burner flames needs
to be determined visually.
If burner flames look like (A), call for service.
Normal burner flames should look like (B)or
(C), depending on the type of gas you use.
With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones
is normal.

ADJUST OVEN THERMOSTAT
(for Models Equipped with Standing Pilots)
1. Remove the OVEN CONTROL knob.
2. Locate the thermostat
adjustment screw at left of
thermostat shaft. Turn the
screw until the small pointer
stops at LP or N, depending
on the type of gas you are
converting to. The most the screw will move is
1/2 a turn.
3. Replace the OVEN CONTROL knob.

CHECK FOR LEAKS
When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn
on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak
detector at all joints and connections to check for
leaks in the system.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve
from the gas supply piping. When using test
pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply
system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply
system by closing the individual shut-off valve.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

ADJUST LOW FLAME SETTING
1. Light the top burners and continue turning all
of the surface knobs to LOW.
2. Remove all 4 knobs.
3. With a small flat
blade screwdriver, turn
the valve set screws
clockwise to decrease
flame size, counterclockwise to increase flame
size. Adjust until the flame is about the same
height as the top of the burner.
4. Replace the knobs.
5. Check for flame outage by opening and
closing the oven door several times. If the flame
goes out, increase the flame size.
