MAKING THE LP CONVERSION
1 SAFETY INFORMATION YOU
SHOULD KNOW
The pressure regulator and burner orifices are set
for natural gas. To use LP gas, the regulator and
burner orifices must be converted. The LP orifice
spuds for the cooktop burners are attached to
the regulator along with separate LP conversion
instructions.
CAUTION:
The cooktop, as shipped from
the factory, is set for use with natural gas. If you
wish to use your cooktop with LP gas, you must
first replace the orifices and convert the pressure
regulator.
WARNING:
This conversion must be
performed by a qualified installer or gas supplier in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
and all codes and requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction. Failure to follow instructions
could result in serious injury or property damage.
The qualified agency performing this work assumes
responsibility for the conversion.
CAUTION:

must be made before turning on the burner. Failure
to do so could result in serious injury. Be sure
