A. Pressure Regulator Conversion
Note: Do not remove the Pressure Regulator.
If in doubt about the pressure at the manifold,
use a manometer. The inlet pressure on the
regulator must be at least I "' W.C. higher than
the outlet pressure. Inlet pressure on the
regulator must never exceed 14" W.C.
1. Convert the Pressure Regulator from Natural Gas
to LP Gas (see figure 6)
A. Remove the cap from the pressure regulator.
B. Remove the plunger.
C.Turn the plunger upside down with the enlarged end

(see figure 8 and 9)
Figure 8
1. Remove valve knobs, top grates, burner pans
and lift cooktop to gain access to valves. Lo(ate
valve hoods (orifices) on back side of valves.
2a. To convert burner valves from Natural Gas
to LP Gas, use a wrench to turn valve hoods
(orifices) down until snug against the mixer pin
(approximately 2 _/2turns). Do not overtighten.
2b. To convert burner valves from LP Gas to
Natural Gas, use a wrench to turn valve hoods
(orifices) up until they are clearly away from the
mixer pin (approximately 2 Y2turns).
3. Apply gas to the burner and adjust air shutter on
burner venturi tube to proper flame (refer to
pictures in "Burner Flame Adjustment" section
for comparison).
