Installation Instructions Making the LP Conversion (CONT.) 4 Adjust Burner Flames A Turn all burners full on and check the flames. They should be blue in color with some yellow tipping at the ends of the flame. Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame at first, but this will soon disappear. NOTE: For the 18,000 BTU/HR burner (on some models) the cooktop burner knob should be turned to the setting before the lowest setting. This will ensure that the entire burner is operating. B Turn the cooktop burner knob to the lowest setting while observing the flame. Adjust the low flame setting using the valve bypass screw as follows: Low-setting adjustments must be made with two other burners in operation on a medium setting. This prevents the low flame from being set too low, resulting in the flame being extinguished when other burners are turned on. C To adjust the flame, remove the knobs. Insert a screwdriver through the access hole in valve switch. Engage adjustment screw in valve. Refer to the illustration below that matches the adjustment screw location for your model. • If the flames were too small or fluttered, open the valve more than the original setting. • If the flames blew away from the burner, close the valve more than the original setting. 18K burner only D Make the adjustment by slowly turning the screw until flame appearance is correct. Note: Some models may contain a silicone shield which covers the valve switch and access hole. A flashlight may be required to locate the access hole. To access the valve adjusting screw, push the screwdriver through this shield. After adjustment, reseat the shield around the switch hub with your fingers, after withdrawing the screwdriver. Reseat silicone shield CORRECT INCORRECT E Testing Flame Stability: Test 1 - Turn the knob from "HI" to the lowest setting quickly. If the flame goes out at the lowest setting, increase the flame size and test again. Test 2 - With the burner on the lowest setting, open and close the cabinet door under the cooktop. If the flame is extinguished by the air currents created by the door movement, increase the flame height and test again. F Flame Recheck: After the adjustment is made, turn all burners off. Ignite each burner individually. Observe the flame at the "HI" position. Rotate the valve to the lowest setting and be sure that the flame size decreases as the valve is rotated counterclockwise. TO CONVERT THE COOKTOP BACK TO NATURAL GAS, REVERSE THE STEPS UNDER MAKING THE LP CONVERSION. Once the conversion is complete and checked ok, fill out the LP sticker and include your name, organization and date conversion was made. Apply the sticker near the cooktop gas inlet opening to alert others in the future that this appliance has been converted to LP gas. If converting back to natural gas from LP, please remove the sticker so others know the appliance is set to use natural gas. 16
