5. Remove spring retainer from the cap by turning the spring retainer counterclockwise. Locate the “LP” and “NAT” position on the spring retainer. Turn over the spring retainer so the “LP” arrow is pointing toward the cap.

A. Access cap
B. Metal seal
C. Gas pressure regulator
D. Spring retainer in NAT position
E. Spring retainer in LP position

6. Tighten the gas pressure regulator cap by using a large flat-blade screwdriver, turning the regulator cap clockwise.
7.  Test the gas pressure regulator and gas supply line. 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: 11″ (27.9 cm) WCP Maximum pressure: 14″ (35.6 cm) WCP

Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1″ (2.5 cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial/rating plate.

Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge (14″ [35.6 cm] WCP)
The range and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge (14″ [35.6 cm] WCP) or lower
The range 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

To Convert Surface Burners from Natural Gas to Propane

1. If the burner grates are installed, remove them.

2. Remove burner cap.

3. Remove the burner base by first removing (2) T-20 screws
   
   Burner
   A. Burner cap
   B. Screws
   C. Burner base

4. Apply masking tape to the end of a 7 mm nut driver to help hold the gas orifice spud in the nut driver while changing it. Insert nut driver into the gas opening and press down onto the gas orifice spud and remove by turning the gas orifice spud counterclockwise and lifting out. Set gas orifice spud aside.

5. Replace with correct Propane gas orifice spud. See the “Propane Gas Orifice Spud/Hood Chart.” Use the following chart to find the exact orifice spud placement.
   Propane Gas Orifice Spud/Hood Chart
   ** Burner Rating| Stamp| Size| Burner Style**
   ---|---|---|---
   4,000 BTUs| 63| 0.63 mm| Small burner

12,000 BTUs| 103| 1.03 mm| Medium burner

13,000 BTUs| 99 50| 0.99 mm 0.50 mm| Large burner – main Larger burner – simmer

NOTE: Refer to serial tag for more information on burner ratings and locations.
**Burner orifice spud

A. Size stamp
B. Fuel type stamp (L or N)
**

6. Place Natural gas orifice in plastic parts bag for future use and keep with package containing literature.
   NOTE: There may be extra orifices in your kit.

7. Replace the burner base and screws. Tighten screws only until burner is snug to cooktop, do not over-tighten.

8. Replace burner cap.

9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 for the remaining burners.

Adjusting Simmer Low Setting on Surface Burners for Propane

1. Unplug range or disconnect power.
2. Using the square bit screwdriver, remove the surface burner control knobs and bezels (Oven control knobs and griddle control knobs do not have to be removed).
3. Open the oven door and remove the two screws on each side of the range that hold the control console in place.

NOTE: Make sure to leave the door open or the control console will not rest in the side brackets properly once it is attached.

4. Pull up on the control console and let it drop forward into the notched console brackets on each side.
   

5. Locate the appropriate low-turndown screw for the appropriate burner on the given valve. The low-turndown screw for the left rear, right rear, center rear, and center front burner valves (aluminum) is located through the center of the valve stem. The low-turndown screw for the left front and right front burner valves (brass) is located behind the ignition switch on the valve body, left of the stem. To remove the ignition switch cut the wire tie and pull the switch off the valve stem

A. Aluminum Valve for Left Rear, Right Rear, Center Rear, and Center Front burners
B. Brass Valve for Left Front and Right Front Dual burners
C. Wire Tie
D. Ignition switch

A. Low-turndown adjustment screw for Aluminum Valve through center of stem
B. Low-turndown adjustment screw for Brass Valve

6. With the burner ON (the burner will have to be lit manually with a lighter), and set to simmer LOW, adjust the simmer flame down to the proper BTU level. Using a 1/8″ x 4¼” (3.2 mm x 108 mm) flat blade screwdriver, turn the simmer low-turndown adjustment screw clockwise until the flame height is at, or below, the bottom of the cap. If the flame becomes unstable and flickers or appears to race around the burner, the adjustment is too low and the screw should be adjusted counterclockwise until the flame is stable. Repeat this step for all surface burners.
   NOTE: Use a knob to adjust the burner valve.
   NOTE: Adjust each burner individually.

7. After adjustments are completed, replace the ignition switches onto the valves.

8. Lift up on the control console and set it back into place. For a proper fit, the flange of the control console must hook over the lip on the front of the range cooktop.
   NOTE: It may be necessary to lift valve stems to align with console holes.
   
   A. Control console flange
   B. Front lip of range cooktop

9. Check that the control console is flush with the top edge of the range.
   

10.  Replace the screws on each side of the control console.

11.  Replace the bezels using the 2 screws which attach to the valve brackets, making note that there are front and rear bezels and will only attach properly in the correct location on the console.

12.  Push the Surface Knobs onto the valve stems.

13.  Replace the burner grates

Complete Installation

1. Refer to the “Make Gas Connection” section for properly
   connecting the range to the gas supply.

2. Refer to the “Electronic Ignition System” section for proper burner ignition, operation, and burner flame adjustments.
   IMPORTANT: You may have to adjust the “LO” setting for each range burner. Checking for proper range burner flame is very important. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame 1/4″ (6.4 mm) to 1/2″ (1.3 cm) long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone. Propane gas flames have a slightly yellow tip.
