Converting your MONOGRAM gas cooktop from natural gas to propane (LP) involves several key steps. Always consult your cooktop's installation manual for detailed instructions specific to your model. Here's a general guide:
-
Adjusting the Pressure Regulator:
- Begin by disconnecting all electrical power and shutting off the gas supply to the cooktop.
- Unscrew the cap on the pressure regulator and locate the NAT or propane (LP) position on the spring retainer.
- Rotate the spring retainer 90 degrees, pull it out of the cap, flip it to the propane (LP) side, reinsert, and rotate it back into place. Then, securely tighten the cap.
-
Changing Burner Orifices:
- Remove the burner grates, caps, and burner heads.
- Use a 7mm nut driver to carefully loosen and remove the top burner orifices.
- Install the propane (LP) orifices in their respective locations, referring to the table and diagram provided in your manual.
- Ensure the orifices are firmly screwed into the gas injectors, then reassemble the burner components.
-
Checking Surface Burners:
- Push and turn a burner knob to the LITE position to test for proper ignition.
- Verify that the flames appear normal.
-
Adjusting the Low Flame Setting:
- Use a small flat blade screwdriver to adjust the low flame on the upper ring of flames on each dual stack burner.
- Ensure the flame is stable and not too low or unsteady.
-
Multi-Ring Burner Adjustment (if applicable):
- Adjust the outer and center rings of the burner as needed for proper flame height and stability.
-
Final Steps:
- Complete and affix the propane (LP) sticker with your information near the regulator to indicate the conversion.
- Keep the removed natural gas orifices for future use if you ever switch back.
Remember, your specific MONOGRAM model may have slight variations, so always prioritize the instructions in your cooktop's manual.
