1.5 Conversion to propane gas (LPG)
Always provide an adequate gas supply.
This appliance is shipped from the factory
for use with natural gas. Use this kit to
convert the appliance for use with propane
gas, if necessary. Comply with the
following: Ensure that the range is
converted for use with the appropriate gas
before using it.
This appliance is designed to operate at a
pressure of 10" of water column when used
with propane gas. When checking if the
regulator is working properly, the inlet
pressure must be at least 1" greater than the
operating (manifold) pressure above.
When converting for propane gas use, the
pressure supplied to the regulator must be
between 11" and 13" of the water column.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of
the range manifold must remain in the
supply line.
Use a flexible metal appliance connector or
rigid pipe to connect the range to the gas
supply. The connector should have an
inside diameter of 1/2” and be 5 ft (1.5 m)
or less in length.
(Exception: Maximum connector length in
Massachusetts installations is 3 ft (0.9 m). In
Canada, the connector must be single-wall
metal and not longer than 6 ft (1.8 m).
Save the nozzles removed from the
appliance for future use.
