Topics:

• Can the new Gas Cooktop be converted from natural gas (NG) to liquid propane (LP) or from LP to NG?
• Does the Btu output change when a CG Gas Cooktop is converted from NG or LP to the other gas type?
• Part number 826005 and 826006, instruction sheet part number 826009 (LP) or 826010 (NG)
• High altitude information for conversion of CG30 and CG36 models
• Part number 824490 high altitude kit, instruction sheet part number 824989
• Is a 100 lb LP tank sufficient?

Answer:

When possible, purchase products built for the gas type they are connected to. Gas conversion kits for cooktops vary by gas type and altitude.

• High altitude conversion is not needed under 9,900' above sea level.
• There is no difference between natural gas (NG) or liquid propane (LP) configured burners.
  • Converting from NG to LP or LP to NG does not change burner Btu rating.
• A unit that has been converted can be changed back to the original gas type if needed.
• It may be necessary to remove the contemporary cooktop from the opening for the conversion.
• Kits may be used for the 15" CG152TF/S modules or the 24" CG243TF/S models if needed. There is no kit specific to that model. Extra parts may be discarded.
• The size of the tank does not matter as long as it can deliver the gas pressure required in the specifications. A larger tank provides a longer lasting gas supply.
