Gas Conversions

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water column.

Examples of a qualified person include: licensed heating personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

WARNING

This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion or production of carbon monoxide may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. The qualified service agency is responsible for the proper installation of this kit. The installation is not proper and complete until the operation of the converted appliance is checked as specified in the manufacturer's instructions supplied with this kit.

IMPORTANT: Gas conversions must be done by a qualified installer. Before proceeding with the conversion, shut off the gas supply to the range prior to disconnecting the electrical power.

1. Turn the manual shutoff valve to the closed position.

A. To range

B. Manual shutoff valve "closed" position
C. Gas supply line

1. Unplug range or disconnect power.

Gas Pressure Regulator

The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:

Natural gas:

Minimum pressure: 5^ WCP

Maximum pressure: 14" WCP

LP gas:

Minimum pressure: 11" WCP

Maximum pressure: 14" WCP

Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.

Burner Input Requirements

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).

For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).

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 12 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 12 psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at 12 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

To Convert Gas Pressure Regulator

NOTE: If the range will be using the same gas before and after conversion, it is not necessary to convert the gas pressure regulator. Ranges are set for Natural gas from the factory. If you are using Natural gas, no gas pressure regulator conversion is needed. Continue with "To Convert Surface Burners" in this section.

1. Remove storage drawer, warming drawer or premium storage drawer. See the "StorageDrawer" or "WarmingDrawer or Premium StorageDrawer" section in the Installation Instructions provided with the range.

2. Locate gas pressure regulator at rear of storage or warming drawer compartment.

NOTE: On models with a warming drawer, an access cover must be removed to access the gas pressure regulator.

A. Gas pressure regulator

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the gas pressure regulator.

1. Remove plastic cover from gas pressure regulator cap.

2. Turn gas pressure regulator cap counterclockwise with a 5 / 8 combination wrench to remove.

NOTE: Do not remove the spring beneath the cap.

A. Plastic cover
B. Gas pressure regulator cap with solid end facing out
C. Gas pressure regulator cap with hollow end facing out
D.Washer
E. Gas pressure regulator cap

5. For Natural Gas:

Turn over the gas pressure regulator cap and reinstall on regulator so that the solid end faces out and the marking NG is facing the direction shown in the above drawing.

For LP gas:

Turn over the gas pressure regulator cap and reinstall on regulator so that the hollow end faces out and the marking LP is facing the direction shown in the above drawing.

1. Replace plastic cover over gas pressure regulator cap.

To Convert Surface Burners

1. Remove burner cap.
2. Using a Phillips or Quadrex screwdriver, remove the burner base.

NOTE: Reinstall one of the screws through the range cooktop to hold the orifice spud holder in place while removing and replacing the orifice spuds.

1. Apply masking tape to the end of a 7mm(%_32^*) nut driver to help hold the gas orifice spud in the nut driver while changing it. Press nut driver down onto the gas orifice spud and remove by turning it counterclockwise and lifting out. Set gas orifice spud aside.

A. Orifice spud

C. Screw

B. Orifice spud holder

D. Spark electrode

1. Locate the nameplate on the range. It will be located on the front frame behind the oven door or drawer front depending on model. Identify the burner ratings for this range from the nameplate.
