Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• screwdriver set,no.7 mm nut driver,wrench

2. 
    
   color coded orifices that are installed in each top burner assembly

   Remove the orifice from the burner and install the new ones

3. 
    
   gas regulator located under stove cover

   Now remove the cap from the gas regulator and flip it over then reinstall it
