Installation Instructions
MAKING THE LP CONVERSION
(CONT.)
ADJUST BURNER FLAMES
H Turn all burners full on and check the flames.
They should be blue in color with some yellow
tipping at the ends of the flame. Foreign
particles in the gas line may cause on orange
flame at first, but this will soon disappear.
E Turn the cooktop burner knob to the lowest
setting while observing the flame.
Adjust the low flame setting using the valve bypass
screw as follows:
Low-setting adjustments must be made with two
other burners in operation on a medium setting.
This prevents the low flame from being set too low,
resulting in the flame being extinguished when
other burners are turned on.
E To adjust the flame,
remove the knobs. Use
screwdriver to remove
valve stem plugs as
shown.
Insert a screwdriver
through the access hole
in valve switch. Engage
adjustment screw in
valve. Refer to the
illustration below that
matches the adjustment
screw location for
your model. The
griddle burner (PGP959
and CGP350) has 2
adjustment screws,
one for the left rear
burner and one for the
left front burner during
griddle control. Griddle
control must be turned
to LO when making this
adjustment.
• If the flames were too
small or fluttered, open
the valve more than the original setting.
• If the flames blew away from the burner,
close the valve more than the original
setting.
E Make the adjustment by slowly turning the
screw until flame appearance is correct.

E Testing Flame Stability:
Test 1 - Temporarily replace knobs. Turn the
knob from "HI" to the lowest setting
quickly. If the flame goes out at the
lowest setting, increase the flame size
and test again.
Test 2 - With the burner on the lowest setting,
open and close the cabinet door
under the cooktop. If the flame is
extinguished by the air currents
created by the door movement,
increase the flame height and test
again.
E Flame Recheck:
After the adjustment is made, turn all burners off.
Ignite each burner individually. Observe the flame
at the "HI" position. Rotate the valve to the lowest
setting and be sure that the flame size decreases
as the valve is rotated counterclockwise.
TO CONVERT THE COOKTOP BACK TO NATURAL
GAS, REVERSE THE STEPS UNDER MAKING THE LP
CONVERSION.
Once the conversion is complete and checked ok,
replace valve stem plugs and knobs, and fill out
the LP sticker. Include your name, organization and
date conversion was made. Apply the sticker near
the cooktop gas inlet opening to alert others in
the future that this appliance has been converted
to LP gas. If converting back to natural gas from
LP, please remove the sticker so others know the
appliance is set to use natural gas.
