4. Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for converting your GE appliance to LP gas. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your appliance model. Always refer to your appliance's original service manual for detailed instructions regarding orifice and regulator access.
- Disconnect Power and Gas: Before starting, ensure the appliance is completely disconnected from its electrical power supply and the main gas supply valve is turned off.
- Access Burner Orifices: Carefully remove the grates, burner caps, and burner heads from the cooktop. Locate the natural gas orifices beneath each burner.
- Replace Orifices: Using an appropriate wrench, remove the natural gas orifices. Install the corresponding LP orifices from the kit into their respective positions. Ensure each orifice is tightened securely to prevent leaks. Refer to your appliance's manual for correct orifice sizing and placement for each burner.
- Convert Pressure Regulator: Locate the appliance's gas pressure regulator. This is typically found at the rear of the appliance where the gas line connects.
- Remove the regulator cap.
- Inside, you will find a plastic pin or spring assembly. Flip or replace this component according to the instructions provided with your appliance's original manual to convert it for LP gas pressure. The LP conversion kit includes a specific pin/spring if replacement is necessary.
- Reinstall the regulator cap, ensuring it is securely fastened.
- Reassemble Appliance: Reinstall burner heads, caps, and grates.
- Reconnect Gas and Power: Slowly turn on the main gas supply valve to the appliance. Reconnect electrical power.
- Check for Leaks: Apply a non-corrosive leak detection solution (e.g., soapy water) to all gas connections, including the newly installed orifices and regulator connections. Bubbles indicate a leak. If a leak is detected, turn off the gas supply immediately, tighten the connection, and re-test. Do not proceed until all leaks are eliminated.
- Adjust Burner Flames: After verifying no leaks, light each burner. Adjust the air shutter on each burner tube to achieve a stable, blue flame with minimal yellow tipping. Refer to your appliance's manual for specific flame adjustment procedures.
5. Operating Instructions
Once the LP conversion is successfully completed and all safety checks are performed, your appliance is ready for operation with LP gas. Operate the appliance according to its original manufacturer's instructions. The conversion kit only changes the fuel type; it does not alter the appliance's operational controls or features.
6. Maintenance
The ForeverPRO WB28X39132 LP Conversion Kit itself requires no specific maintenance beyond ensuring its components are correctly installed and free from damage. Regular maintenance of your appliance should continue as recommended by the appliance manufacturer. Periodically inspect gas connections for any signs of wear or leaks.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Burner not lighting or weak flame | Incorrect orifice installed, gas supply off, regulator not converted, or leak. | Verify correct LP orifices are installed. Check gas supply valve. Ensure regulator is set for LP. Check for leaks at all connections. |
| Yellow or unstable flame | Improper air shutter adjustment or incorrect gas pressure. | Adjust air shutter on burner tube until flame is blue with minimal yellow. Confirm regulator is correctly set for LP pressure. |
| Smell of gas | Gas leak. | Immediately turn off gas supply. Ventilate the area. Do not operate electrical switches. Check all connections for leaks using a non-corrosive leak detection solution. If unable to locate or stop the leak, contact a qualified service technician. |
