Converting to LP Gas (continued)
St®p 6
Check for Leaks
When all connections have been made, make sure all
range controls are in the off position and turn on the
main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the
system°
I CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECKFOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve
from the gas supply piping. When using test pres-
sures of t/2 psig or less to test the gas supply sys-
tem, simply isolate the range from the gas supply
system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

Do not reduce the flame to less than 5/16" (8 mm)
or pilot outage may occur, A pilot flame burning
higher than recommended may generate soot (car-
bon black) on the bottom of your cooktopo
Step 9
Check Quality of Flames
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be
determined visually.
(A) Yellow flames--Call
for service
(B) Yellow tips on outer
cones--Normal for LP gas
(C) Soft blue flames--
Normal for natural gas
If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal
burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending
on the type of gas you use°
With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is
normal,
