If you wish to convert your range for use with LP/Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in a bag containing the literature marked "FOR LP/PROPANEGAS CONVERSION." Follow the instructions packaged with the orifices. The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion. Failure to make the appropriate Figure 9 The supply line must be equipped with an approved manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the range and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line. Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints and connections to check for leaks. Leaks will be indicated by bubbles appearing at the connections or joints. conversion can result in personal injury and property damage. Shutoff Open Valve position = Moving the Appliance Servicing and Cleaning for Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the main power source, and turn off the manual gas shut-off valve. Make sure the range is cold. Open the oven door. Lift the range at the front and slide it out of the cut-out opening without creating undue strain on the flexible gas conduit. Make sure not to pinch the flexible gas conduit at the back of the range when replacing the unit into the cut-out opening. Replace the drawer, close the door and switch on the electrical power and gas to the range.
