This kit is used to convert only dual fuel ranges (model # HDS252U, HDS255U and HDS256U) and gas ranges (model #
HGS232UC, HGS236UC, HGS242UC, HGS245UC, HGS246UC, HGS247UC, HGS252UC, HGS255UC, HGS256UC), from natural gas
operation to propane gas operation. This kit cannot be used to convert other Bosch model ranges or other brand ranges. The
model number on your range is stamped on the plate behind the warming or storage drawer.
PLEASE READ ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING. Save the natural gas parts for possible conversion from LP
back to natural gas in the future.
Tools Required:

Important Safety Warnings
PLEASE READ INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING THE CONVERSION.
For Massachusetts Installations:
1.Installation must be performed by a qualified or
licensed contractor, plumber or gas fitter qualified
or licensed by the state, province or region where
this appliance is being installed.
2.Shut-off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
3.Flexible gas connector must not be longer than 36
inches.
High Altitude Installation:
For conversion in areas above 2,000 feet, contact Bosch
service for instructions: 800-944-2904.
Always Provide Adequate Gas Supply
The Bosch Freestanding Dual Fuel and Gas Ranges are shipped
from the factory for use with natural gas. Use this kit to con-
vert the appliance for LP gas use if necessary.
• Be sure the range is converted for use with the appropri-
ate gas before using it.
• Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 10” of
water column when used with LP gas.
• When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the
inlet pressure must be at least 1” greater than the operat-
ing (manifold) pressure above. When converting for LP
gas use, the pressure supplied to the regulator must be
between 11” and 14” of water column. See step 2
“Convert Pressure to Regulator from 5” to 10” W.C.”, next
page.
• The pressure regulator located in the inlet of the range
manifold must remain in the supply line.
• Use a flexible metal appliance connector to connect the
range to the gas supply. The connector should have an
I.D. of 1/2” and be 5’ in length. In Canada, the connector
must be single wall metal and no longer than 6’.

CAUTION:
(1) When connecting the unit to the propane gas, make
certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its own
high pressure regulator. In addition, a pressure regulator
was supplied with the range. This second regulator must
be installed with the range. The maximum gas pressure
to this appliance is not to exceed 14.0 inches water col-
umn from the propane gas tank regulator.
The following must be met when testing supply piping
system:
a) The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
b) The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas sup-
ply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
