OVERTIGHTEN. The burner flame cannot be
properly adjusted if this conversion is not made.
7.

Page 5.
9.
Lower cooktop. Reinstall screws to secure
burner tubes to cooktop. Reinstall burners and
grates.
10.
Check for proper flame. The small
inner cone should have a very distinct blue flame
1/4" to 1/2" long. The outer cone is not as distinct
as the inner cone. L.P. gas flames have a slightly
yellow tip. If the flame is noisy or blowing, it is
getting too much air. If the flame is soft and lazy,
it is not getting enough air. If burners need
adjusting, see section E, “Check operation,”
