Gas conversions
Gas conversions (from Natural gas to L.P. gas; or
from L.P. gas to Natural gas) must be done by a
qualified installer.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Shut off gas supply line valve.
Make all conversions before turning gas
supply valve back on.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in explosion, fire or other injury.

Locate L.P. gas orifice spuds in literature
package included with the range. All L.P. gas
spuds are stamped with "66". Remove Natural
gas orifice spuds using a 3/8" combination
wrench. Install L.P. gas orifice spuds to replace
the Natural gas orifice spuds.
Place Natural gas orifice spuds in plastic parts
bag for future use and keep with literature
package. Reinstall burners. Lower maintop to

Check that the oven control knob is in the
shipping screws
"OFF" position. Remove all control knobs.
Remove manifold cover by removing screws
above oven door. Locate selector key on oven
burner
thermostat and turn counterclockwise to the L.P.
position. Replace manifold cover and control
knobs. Allow enough time for L.P. gas to fill the
pilot gas line. Light the pilot light.
8.
Complete sections D through E, Pages 5-6.
Check for proper flame. The small inner cone
should have a very distinct blue flame 1/4" to 1/2"
long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the
inner cone. L.P. gas flames have a slightly yellow
tip. If the flame is noisy or blowing, it is getting
too much air. If the flame is soft and lazy, it is not
getting enough air.
Remove and
replace orifice
spuds.
