GAS CONVERSION
General
This range is equipped with double coaxial (universal)
orifices on bake and broil burners, a convertible appliance
pressure regulator and replaceable top burner orifices.
The unit serial plate states which gas it was adjusted for
at the factory. To convert the unit to either Natural gas or
LP gas will require adjustment of the oven orifice hoods,
air shutters on the oven burners, replacement of top
burner orifices and adjustment of the appliance pressure
regulator converter cap.
Inlet pressure to the appliance pressure regulator should
be as follows for both operation and checking of appliance
pressure regulator setting:
INLET PRESSURE IN NATURAL LP
INCHES OF WATER COLUMN

Maximum 14 14
Appliance Pressure Regulator Conversion
(See figure 7)
The unit appliance pressure regulator must be set to
match the type gas supply used. If converting from natural
gas to LP gas, the appliance pressure regulator must be
converted to regulate LP gas. If converting from LP gas to
natural gas, the appliance pressure regulator must be
converted to regulate natural gas.
Follow the instructions below to convert the regulator for
use with LP gas. (This appliance is shipped from the
factory adjusted for use with natural gas.)
1. Unscrew the hex shaped cap from the neck of the
regulator. (A wrench may be required to loosen the
cap.)
2. Within the cap is a plastic pin. Remove this pin from the
cap by applying sideward pressure to the pin. (See
illustration.)
3. Invert the pin and snap it back into place within the cap
by applying even finger pressure at opposing edges of
the pin’s circular disc. The pin must be seated firmly
and squarely in the cap.
Pin replacement may be most easily accomplished by
placing the cap on a flat horizontal surface, as shown in
the illustration, and applying downward finger pressure
at the edges of the pin’s disc.
4. Screw the cap securely back into place in the neck of
the pressure regulator. (The cap need not be
wrench-tightened upon replacement. Firm finger
tightening will secure the cap.)
