QuestionDoes a kit to modify for propane gas come with it?
Asked 5 years ago by Bob.
- Answer Parts required for propane use do come with it. The gas regulator which comes with it is used for either natural gas (NG) or propane (LP)… the regulator comes setup for NG but to change it for LP use, it's simply matter of opening it, reversing the orifice and closing it back up. It also comes with a selection of orifices suitable for LP use. It's simply a matter of selecting the proper one based on consulting a chart in the instruction manual referencing the BTU output of each individual burner. The orifices simply screw in and out using a small screwdriver.

QuestionMy model WCG55US6HS00 has a flame that is too high, even on the simmer setting. Is there a way to lower the flame by adjusting the propane output so that the flame is lower?
Asked 3 years ago by Parbs.
- Answer The installation manual does cover this process. Basically you set the burner you want to adjust to "LO." Pull off the knob and hold the shaft with pliers and use a very small screwdriver to turn the adjustment screw that is down inside the knob shaft. Turning it clockwise (to the right) should lower the flame height. Counter-clockwise (to the left) should raise the flame height.
