The pressure regulator and the burner
orifices are set for natural gas. To use
Liquid Propane Gas, the regulator and
burner orifices must be converted. The
L.P. orifices for the cooktop burners are
shipped on the regulator bracket behind
the storage drawer. Also, in the same
area, is a second bracket holding the L.P.
15K orifice extended spud, choke and set
