CONVERTING AN OVEN THERMOSTAT
If the range is equipped with a standing pilot in the oven, an adjustment for the pilot must be made.
The gas for the oven’s standing pilot is supplied by the oven thermostat. Thermostats used on
standing pilot ranges have a screw to adjust for natural or L.P. gas (see Figure 5-4). Turn the
adjustment screw to the correct setting for the type of gas being used in the oven.

CONVERTING AN OVEN BURNER
The oven burners use universal orifice hoods. To convert the oven burners, use a 1/2 " combination
wrench and turn the orifice hood 2 to 2-1/2 turns so it is just against the L.P. orifice inlet. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN the hood, or you will damage the inlet. The burner flame cannot be properly
adjusted if this conversion is not made. In self-cleaning ovens, both burners must be converted
using the same procedure (see Figures 5-3A and 5-3B).
