WARNING Natural Gas Conversion 3. 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: Natural Gas: Minimum pressure 6" (15.2 cm) WCP Maximum pressure 14" (35.6 cm) WCP Gas Supply Pressure Testing Tip Over Hazard A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot. Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults. 1. Turn manual shutoff valve to the closed position. 2. Unplug range or disconnect power. B A C A. To range B. Shutoff valve (closed position) C. Gas supply line To Convert Gas Pressure Regulator Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial rating plate. Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa). To Convert Surface Burners 1. If the burner grates are installed, remove them. 2. Remove burner cap. 3. Remove the burner head. NOTE: A ⁷⁄₈" socket must be used to remove the burner head of the large dual burners. 4. Using a T15 Torx® screwdriver, remove the burner base. 1. Remove the access cap by using a wrench, turning the access cap counterclockwise. 2. Remove spring retainer from the cap by pushing against the flat side of the spring retainer. Look at the spring retainer to locate the "LP" or "NAT" position. Turn over the spring retainer so the "NAT" is showing on the bottom. Snap the spring retainer back into the cap.

Natural Gas Conversion
1.
Turn manual shutoff valve to the closed position.
2.
Unplug range or disconnect power.
To Convert Gas Pressure Regulator
1.
Remove the access cap by using a wrench, turning the
access cap counterclockwise.
2.
Remove spring retainer from the cap by pushing against the
flat side of the spring retainer. Look at the spring retainer to
locate the “LP” or “NAT” position. Turn over the spring
retainer so the “NAT” is showing on the bottom. Snap the
spring retainer back into the cap. Reinstall the cap onto the
regulator.
3.
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:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure 6" (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure 14" (35.6 cm) WCP
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least
1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure
shown on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
The range and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
To Convert Surface Burners
1.
If the burner grates are installed, remove them.
2.
Remove burner cap.
3.
Remove the burner head.
NOTE:
A
⁷⁄₈
" socket must be used to remove the burner head
of the large dual burners.
4.
Using a T15 Torx
®
screwdriver, remove the burner base.

WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.
Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or serious burns to children and adults.
