6. Setup and Installation Instructions
This procedure involves working with gas lines and electrical components. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a certified professional.
Required Tools:
- Nut driver
- Screwdriver
- Wrench
- Non-corrosive leak detection solution
Installation Steps:
- Disconnect Power and Gas: Before starting, ensure the range is completely disconnected from its electrical power source and the main gas supply valve is turned off.
- Access Orifices: Depending on your specific range model, you will need to partially disassemble the oven and/or cooktop to access the existing natural gas orifices. Refer to your range's service manual for detailed instructions on accessing these components.
- Identify and Replace Orifices: Carefully remove each natural gas orifice using appropriate tools. Match each new LP gas orifice from the kit to its corresponding burner or oven component based on the provided diagram and markings. The kit includes orifices for the cooktop burners (Left Rear, Right Rear, Center, Left Front, Right Front), bake burner, and broil burner.

- Install New Orifices: Screw in the new LP gas orifices securely. Do not overtighten.
- Adjust Pressure Regulator: The range's pressure regulator must be adjusted for LP gas. This typically involves flipping a cap or adjusting a screw on the regulator. Consult your range's manual for the exact procedure. The pressure regulator is factory-set for natural gas (NG) use. LP conversion requires adjustment to 10 inches Water Column (WCP).
- Reassemble Range: Carefully reassemble all components of the range that were removed.
- Reconnect Gas and Power: Reconnect the gas supply and electrical power to the range.
- Check for Leaks: Apply a non-corrosive leak detection solution to all gas connections. Bubbles indicate a leak. If a leak is detected, immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten the connection, and retest. Repeat until no leaks are present.
- Adjust Burner Flames: After conversion, the burner flames may need adjustment to ensure proper combustion. Refer to your range's manual for instructions on adjusting the air shutter and flame height for LP gas. Flames should be stable, blue, and have a distinct inner cone.

7. Operating Instructions
After successful conversion and verification of no gas leaks, your range is now ready to operate on LP gas. The operation of the range (e.g., turning on burners, setting oven temperature) remains the same as described in your original range's user manual.
- Ensure proper ventilation when using gas appliances.
- Monitor flame appearance; flames should be blue and stable. Yellow or flickering flames may indicate improper adjustment or an issue requiring professional attention.
8. Maintenance
The brass orifices in this kit are designed for long-term use and generally require minimal maintenance. However, regular inspection of your range's gas connections and burner components is recommended as part of routine appliance maintenance.
- Periodically check gas connections for any signs of leaks using a leak detection solution.
- Ensure burner ports are clean and free from food debris to maintain optimal flame performance.
- If any component of the gas system appears damaged or corroded, contact a qualified service technician for inspection and repair.
9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after converting your range to LP gas, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Weak or yellow flames | Improper pressure regulator adjustment; incorrect orifice size; clogged burner ports. | Verify pressure regulator is set for LP gas. Ensure correct orifices are installed. Clean burner ports. Adjust air shutter if applicable. |
| Gas odor | Gas leak. | Immediately turn off gas supply. Ventilate area. Do not operate electrical switches. Check all connections with leak detection solution. If odor persists, evacuate and call gas company/emergency services. |
| Burner not igniting | No gas supply; clogged orifice; faulty igniter. | Check gas supply valve. Ensure orifice is clear. Consult range manual for igniter troubleshooting. |
For persistent issues or concerns, contact a qualified service technician.
