Using a 1/2"wrench, turn down the adjustable spud which
injects gas into the oven burner. Turn spud approximately
21/2turns until snug against the LP metering pin. Do not
overtighten (see figure 10).

Convert the Pressure Regulator for use with
Natural Gas (see figure 8)
A. Remove the cap from the pressure regulator.
B. Remove the plunger.
C.Turn the plunger around so that the small end is
TOWARDS the regulator.
D. Replace the plunger inside the regulator. The letters
NAT or 4" W.C. should be visible on the exposed
end of the plunger.
E. Replace the cap on the pressure regulator.
F. Turn spud approximately 21/2turns counterclockwise.
This will move the spud away from the pin.
G.Apply gas, adjust pilots (if equipped) and burner air
shutter for proper flame.
H.There should be 4" WC pressure in the manifold
after conversion for proper operation on Natural
Gas.

Oven/Broiler Flame Adjustment
The air shutter adjustment is located on the venturi tube,
which sets on the spud of the valve, and is locked in place
with a Phillips head screw. If the air shutter needs
adjusting, loosen the screw and rotate the shutter to
allow more or less air to the burner tube (see figure 11).

Figure 11
For Natural Gas, the air shutter should be approximately
half open. For LP Gas, the air shutter nearly full open.
Too much air will cause the flame to lift away from the
burner. Too little air will cause the flame to turn yellow
at the outer edges and soot to form.
Remember, the oven will be shipped from the factory set
for Natural Gas, unless otherwise stated. If connecting to
LP gas, be sure to follow procedure under "Conversion"
to change the regulator and burner orifice to the LP
setting.
