PROPANE CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Death or serious injury can result from failure to follow these instructions.
- Service by a qualified service technician only.
- Shut off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing.
- Reconnect all grounding devices after service.
- Replace all parts and panels before operating.
The pressure regulator and the burner orifices are set for natural gas. To use
propane gas, the regulator and burner orifices must be converted.
WARNING Do not operate the cooktop when using propane (bottled) gas
before converting the pressure regulator and burner orifices for propane gas
use. Failure to do so could cause high flames and toxic fumes which can result
in serious injury.
The pressure regulator and the burner orifices are set for natural gas. To use
propane gas, the regulator and burner orifices must be converted.
The propane orifices are attached to the regulator which is packaged with the
unit.
TOOLS REQUIRED
- Flat bladed screwdriver (blade approximately 3/32″ across)
- Nut drivers: 1/4”, 9/32″ or 7mm
To adjust your cooktop for use with propane gas, follow these instructions:
- Disconnect all electrical power, at the main circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Shut off the gas supply to the cooktop by closing the manual shut-off valve.
CONVERTING THE PRESSURE REGOR
- Use an adjustable wrench to unscrew the hex-nut cap from the pressure regulator.
- Turn the plastic cap 1/4 turn to disassemble.
- Turn the plastic cap over as indicated in the picture. Align the tabs of the plastic cap with the slots of the hex-nut cap. Insert cap and rotate 1/4 turn to reassemble. The letters “LP” should now be visible on the top of the plastic cap.
- Screw the hex-nut cap back onto the pressure regulator.
CONVERTING THE COOKTOP BURNERS
A. Remove the top grates, burner caps and burner heads.
B. Using a
7mm or 9/32” nut driver, remove the top burner orifices. These may be accessed
through the burner opening in the base.
NOTICE: save these orifices removed from the appliance for future use.
C. Remove the propane orifices from the bracket attached to the regulator. The
top surface of the orifice is engraved for identification. Use the table and
figure to determine the placement of the propane orifices.

D. Using a 7mm or 9/32” nut driver, install the propane orifices in their
precise locations.
To prevent leakage, make sure the orifices are securely screwed into the gas
inkjets.
E. Install the old orifices into the metal bracket along with these
instructions, and replace onto the regulator for possible future conversion.
CHECK SURFACE BURNERS
Push and turn a knob to the LITE position. A clicking sound indicates proper
operation of the ignition system. When lighting any burner, sparks will appear
at all burners but gas flows from only the one selected. Once air is purged
from the supply line, burner should light within 4 seconds. After burner
lights, rotate the knob out of the LITE position. Try each burner in
succession until all burners have been checked.
Quality of Flames
Determine the quality of flames visually. Normal burner flames should look
like (A) or (B).
Long, bright yellow flames are not normal. Normal flames may show signs of an orange tint when well heated or signs of flickering orange due to particles in the gas or air.
ADJUSTING LOW FLAME SETTING ON COOKTOP BURNERS
Low setting adjustments must be made with 2 other burners in operation on a
medium setting. This procedure prevents the low flame from being set too low,
resulting in the flame being extinguished when other burners are turned on.
A. Turn on surface burners to medium setting.
B. Turn the knob on the bummer being adjusted to “LO”.
C. Remove the knob and inserter small flat blade screwdriver in the valve
shaft as shown. Turn clockwise as far as possible while maintaining a stable
flame. Repeat for all valves.
Round Burners D. If flame appears too low or unstable, slowly tum
adjustment screw counterclockwise until a stable flame exists for each bummer.
E. Additionally, for each burner being adjusted, quickly open and close the
cabinet doors while observing the flame. If flame is extinguished, tum
adjustment screw counterclockwise for a larger flame. Repeat door openings
until flame is stable.
Multi-Ring Burner (on some models)
- Turn on burner to MED setting to adjust the outer ring. Turn the outer ring adjustment screw (in the center of the valve shaft) clockwise so that the outer ring flames barely curl over the top edge of the burner cap.
- Turn on burner to SIM setting to adjust the center ring. Turn clockwise as far as possible while maintaining a stable flame.

SPECIAL NOTE:
To convert the cooktop back to natural gas, reverse the instructions given in
making propane adjustments.
NOTICE:
Once the conversion is complete and confirmed, fill out the propane sticker
and include your name, organization and date conversion was made. Apply the
sticker to the cooktop near the regulator to alert others in the future that
this appliance has been converted to propane. If converting back to natural
gas from propane, please remove the sticker so others know the appliance is
set to use natural gas.
