CGS980SEMSS LP Conversion Instructions

The CGS980SEMSS is a model gas stove manufactured by General Electric (GE). The CGS980SEMSS features a built-in oven, four standard burners and a fifth oval-shaped center burner. This GE stove can also be converted from gas to propane (LP) by changing the direction of the convertible regulator nipple on the gas orifice. The GE owner's manual states that only a certified technician or GE repairman should make the conversion, but in actuality the repair can be made by the homeowner with a little bit of experience working with gas supply lines.
