Setup and Installation (Conversion Process)

This section outlines the general steps for converting your natural gas range to liquid propane. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your range model. Refer to your appliance's original manufacturer's manual for detailed instructions on accessing components.

Tools Required:

• Adjustable wrench or appropriate size wrenches
• Screwdriver set (Phillips and flathead)
• Leak detection solution (non-corrosive)
• Flashlight (optional)

Procedure:

1. Disconnect Power and Gas: Before starting, ensure the range is unplugged from the electrical outlet and the main gas supply valve to the range is turned off.
2. Access Burner Orifices:
   • Remove grates, burner caps, and burner heads from the cooktop.
   • Locate the natural gas orifices for each surface burner. These are typically small brass fittings located at the base of the burner tube.
3. Replace Surface Burner Orifices:
   • Carefully unscrew and remove each natural gas orifice.
   • Replace them with the corresponding LP orifices from the conversion kit. LP orifices have smaller openings than natural gas orifices. Ensure you match the correct LP orifice size to each burner (e.g., larger orifices for high-BTU burners).
   • Tighten the new orifices securely, but do not overtighten.
4. Access and Adjust Oven/Broiler Orifices (if applicable):
   • Depending on your model, you may need to remove the oven bottom panel or other access panels to reach the oven and broiler burner orifices.
   • Some models require replacing the oven/broiler orifice, while others may only require adjusting a shutter or screw on the burner tube. Consult your range's specific manual for these details.
   • If replacing, follow the same procedure as surface burners. If adjusting, follow your range's manual for LP conversion settings.
5. Adjust Pressure Regulator:
   • Locate the gas pressure regulator on the back of the range.
   • The regulator typically has a cap or screw that needs to be inverted or adjusted for LP gas. Follow the instructions on the regulator itself or in your range's manual to set it for LP operation. This usually involves unscrewing a cap, flipping a plastic pin, and re-screwing the cap.
6. Reassemble and Reconnect:
   • Reassemble all removed parts (burner heads, caps, grates, oven panels).
   • Reconnect the gas supply line to the range.
   • Slowly turn on the main gas supply valve.
7. Check for Gas Leaks:
   • Apply a non-corrosive leak detection solution (soapy water) to all gas connections made during the conversion.
   • Bubbles indicate a gas leak. If bubbles appear, turn off the gas supply immediately, tighten the connection, and retest. Do not proceed until all leaks are resolved.
8. Reconnect Electrical Power: Plug the range back into the electrical outlet.

Operating (Post-Conversion)

After successful conversion, it is important to verify proper operation and adjust flame settings.

1. Ignite Burners: Turn on each surface burner and the oven/broiler to ensure they ignite properly. The flame should be stable, blue, and have a distinct inner cone.
2. Adjust Flame Height:
   • For surface burners, there is usually an adjustment screw on the burner valve stem (often accessible from the front panel or under the cooktop). Adjust the screw to achieve a stable, blue flame with a small, sharp inner cone. The flame should not lift off the burner ports.
   • For oven/broiler burners, consult your range's manual for specific flame adjustment procedures.
3. Air Shutter Adjustment (if applicable): Some burners may have an air shutter that needs adjustment to ensure proper air-to-gas mixture. A yellow or orange flame indicates too little air, while a noisy, lifting flame indicates too much air. Adjust the shutter until the flame is predominantly blue with a clear inner cone.

Maintenance

Once converted, the LP orifices require minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the orifices and burner ports for any blockages or debris that could affect flame quality. Clean gently with a soft brush if necessary. Do not use sharp objects that could damage the orifice opening.
