IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
Important safety messages have been provided in this Job Aid. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word
“WARNING.”
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell
you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Sensitive Electronics
ESD problems are present everywhere. ESD may damage or weaken the electronic con-
trol assembly. The new control assembly may appear to work well after repair is finished,
but failure may occur at a later date due to ESD stress.
• Use an anti-static wrist strap. Connect the wrist strap to the green ground connection
point, or to an unpainted metal surface in the appliance.
- OR -
Touch your finger repeatedly to a green ground connection point, or to an unpainted
metal surface in the appliance.
• Before removing the part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a green ground
connection point, or to an unpainted metal surface in the appliance.
• Avoid touching electronic parts, or terminal contacts. Handle the electronic control
assembly by the edges only.
• When repackaging the failed electronic control assembly in an anti-static bag, observe
the previous instructions.

L.P. GAS CONVERSION
The range is manufactured for use with natu-
ral gas. To convert the range for use with L.P.
gas, perform the following steps.
1.
Turn off the gas and electrical supplies to
the range.
2.
Remove the broiler drawer from the range.
To do this, open the drawer as far as it will
go, lift the front to disengage the rollers,
and pull it forward.
3.
Raise the cooktop and prop it up (see
page 3-2 for the procedure).
NOTE: The conversion cap has NAT stamped
on one side (see the photo below on the left),
and L.P. inside the hollow end on the other side
(see the photo on the right).
4.
To convert the gas distribution valve:
a)Use a large screwdriver and turn the
conversion cap on the gas distribution
valve to disengage the pins from the
slots.
b)Remove the cap, turn it over so the L.P.
side is facing up, and reinstall it on the
valve.
NOTE: The L.P. orifices are supplied in a bag
with the written material. When you remove
the natural gas orifices, store them in the L.P.
orifice bag in case you need them later on.
5.
To convert the gas valves:
a)Remove the burner venturi from the gas
valves (see step 6 on page 3-4).
b)Use a 3/8˝ socket and remove the natu-
ral gas orifices from the gas valves.
c) Install the L.P. gas orifices on the gas
valves.

flame:
a)Raise the cooktop.
b)Turn the cooktop pilot flame adjustment
screw to obtain the best flame. The
flame should have a solid blue cone with
a lighter blue inner flame.
Cooktop Pilot Flame Adjustment Screw
b)Use a 1/2˝ socket and turn the oven
burner orifice hood clockwise until it is
snug (approximately 2-1/2-turns). DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE ORIFICE.
The burner flame cannot be properly ad-
justed if this conversion is not made.

When you install the inner door glass,
position the glass with the heat-treated
side facing the oven.
The heat-treated side is marked with an
“HS” near the edge of the glass. The heat-
treated side is also conductive and can be
checked with an ohmmeter by touching
the meter probes against the surface of
the glass. If the meter indicates continuity,
you are on the heat-treated side. If no
continuity is measured, you are on the
untreated side.
