Complete Installation (Natural Gas to LP Gas)

1. Refer to the “Make Gas Connection” section for proper connection of the range to the gas supply.

2. Refer to the “Electronic Ignition System” section for proper burner ignition and operation.

3. Refer to the “Adjust Flame Height” section for burner flame adjustments.

IMPORTANT: You may have to adjust the low setting for each cooktop burner.

Checking for proper cooktop flame is very important. The small inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame ¼" to

½" (0.64 to 1.3 cm) long. The outer cone is not as distinct as the inner cone. LP gas flames have a slightly yellow tip.

4. Refer to “Complete Installation” in the “Installation

Instructions” section of this manual to complete this procedure.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to save the orifices that have just been replaced in the conversion.
