1. Remove
the grates, burner caps and burner heads.
2. Using the torxdriver,
remove
the burner
bases
by
unscrewing
the 3 small screws
in each
base. Lift
the burner
straight
out.
DO NOT
disconnect
the wires
from
the
burner
bases unless the cooktop
needs to be raised..
3. Remove
the brass orifice spud under each burner
base by unscrewing
the spud from the fitting with a
7 mm or a small adjustable
wrench
(depending
on
the size of your spuds).
Apply
a 3/4" wrench
to
the hex on the gas inlet tube as a back-up
when
removing
spud
to prevent
the
aluminum
tube
from
twisting.
4. Install
orifice
spuds
acc_ording
to
one
of
the
following
diagrams
(see L_ or LSJ), for LP gas or
natural gas, depending
on which you are converting
to.

orifice
Spuds for Converting
to LP Gas:
LP orifice spuds are in a small plastic bag packed with
this Use and Care manual
LP orifice spuds have a 2-
digit number
and the letter "L" on one side. Each ori-
fice spud wilt also have 1 or 2 grooves
on one side,
denoting
the location
on the range where
it is to be
installed
as shown below

spuds
have a 3-digit
number
on
one side. Each orifice
spud will also have
1, 2 or 3
grooves
on one side with the letter "N" underneath,

5. To prevent
leakage,
make sure the orifice
spuds
are securely
screwed
into the gas inlet tubes.
Use a
small wrench to hold the inlet tube hex to prevent it
from twisting
6. Put old orifice
spuds
back in the bag to save for
possible
future conversion.
NOTE:
If an orifice spud is
accidentally
dropped,
the
cooktop
can be raised by
disengaging
the
2 front
clips with a large flat blade
screwdriver.
DO NOT
attempt
to
raise
the
cooktop
without
removing
all 4 burner bases.
If wires were disconnected
to remove the cooktop,
feed wires through
the burner holes in the cooktop.
Attach
to each burner electrode
terminal
carefully,
making sure not to bend the terminal..
Then lower
cooktop
until it snaps over the clips.,
Tall Screw
7. Carefully
insert burner bases straight
down with the
tube
over
the orifice
spud.
Replace
the
screws,
making sure the tall screw is opposite
the burn-
er electrode
in each burner
base.
