5. Remove spring retainer from the cap by turning the spring retainer counterclockwise. Locate the "LP" and "NAT" position on the spring retainer. Turn over the spring retainer so the "LP" arrow is pointing toward the cap. A NAT LP B C NAT D NAT LP NAT LP E LP 4. Apply masking tape to the end of a 7 mm nut driver to help hold the gas orifice spud in the nut driver while changing it. Insert nut driver into the gas opening and press down onto the gas orifice spud and remove by turning the gas orifice spud counterclockwise and lifting out. Set gas orifice spud aside. 5. Replace with correct Propane gas orifice spud. See the "Propane Gas Orifice Spud/Hood Chart". Use the following chart to find the exact orifice spud placement.

Tighten the gas pressure regulator cap by using a large flatblade screwdriver, turning the regulator cap clockwise. 7. 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: Propane Gas: Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm) WCP Gas Supply Pressure Testing Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1" (2.5 cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial/rating plate. Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge (14" [35.6 cm] WCP) The range and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge (14" [35.6 cm] WCP) or lower The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). To Convert Surface Burners from Natural Gas to Propane 1. If the burner grates are installed, remove them. 2. Remove burner cap. 3. Remove the burner base by first removing (2) T-20 screws.

5.
Remove spring retainer from the cap by turning the spring
retainer counterclockwise. Locate the “LP” and “NAT”
position on the spring retainer. Turn over the spring retainer
so the “LP” arrow is pointing toward the cap.
6.
Tighten the gas pressure regulator cap by using a large flat-
blade screwdriver, turning the regulator cap clockwise.
7.
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:
Propane Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm) WCP
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1"
(2.5 cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure
shown on the model/serial/rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge (14"
[35.6 cm] WCP)
The range and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge (14"
[35.6 cm] WCP) or lower
The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
