How to Change Your ALFA™ Oven Fuel Type

All ALFA™ gas ovens, besides the MODERNO Portable, can run on liquid propane or natural gas. In fact, they are shipped with all the necessary components to run on either fuel type. That said, depending on which ALFA™ oven you buy, it's going to be set up to run on either propane or gas out of the box, and shipped with the components to switch to the other fuel type. The steps below are what is required to change from one fuel type to the other.

You can follow these graphical steps to complete the conversion or you can jump to the video hat shows the process.

To take off the protective casing (C), simply unscrew the indicated screws shown in the photo that secure it to the oven.

Step 5: Release the burner

To unlock the burner (D), just take out the screw highlighted in the red circle using a 4mm hex wrench.

Gently withdraw the burner halfway, taking care not to harm the ignition cable (E).

Step 7: Unplug the ignition cable

Now, by turning to the side, you'll have access to the assembly unit, allowing you to disconnect the white ignition cable. Employ tweezers if needed, grasping the black sheath for assistance.

Step 8: Identify the nozzle you'll be replacing

After taking out the burner, you'll notice the golden nozzle (F), which requires replacement.

Install the new pilot flame nozzle by using an appropriate screwdriver to unscrew the existing nozzle (L) and replace it with the new one.

Step 14: Reestablishing the pilot flame

Reposition the pilot flame head as illustrated in the enlarged photo. Ensure that the "T" formation created by the openings aligns with the indicated position.
