Heres some help:
TO CONVERT THE PRESSURE REGULATOR FROM O
NE GAS TO ANOTHER, DO EITHER (1) (2) OR (3) BELOW: YOUR UNIT WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH ONE OF THE THREE REGULATOR TYPES BELOW. 1. Remove the cap, push down and turn counter clockwise. Turn the cap over and reinstall. NOTE: THE GAS TYPE YOU ARE CONVERTING MUST BE VISIBLE ON THE TOP OF THE INSTALLED REGULATOR CAP. 2. Remove plastic dust cover from cap nut on top of regulator. Remove cap nut from regulator (plastic dust cover comes off with nut). " IMPORTANT" remove plastic dust cover from cap nut and reinstall on opposite side of cap nut. 3. Remove cap and forcibly snap out plastic plunger from bottom of cap. Turn plunger over and forcibly snap back in origina/location . NOTE: PLUNGER MUST SNAP INTO POSITION; THE GAS TYPE YOU ARE CONVERTING TO MUST BE VISIBLE ON THE LOWER SIDE OF THE PLUNGER. b. On some ranges, use a 1/2" open end wrench to tighten the burner and oven orifice hood approximately two complete turns clockwise TO THE CLOSED POSITION c. Adjust burner air shutter to the widest opening that will not cause the flame to lift or blow off the burner when cold.Good Luck and Thanks, :) :) :)
