Natural Gas to Propane for Ge xl44 Gas range

I can't find the model number that you gave. I did find other GE XL44 ranges.

Near the gas regulator of the range, there should be a conversion kit. You'll need to pull the range away from the wall to find the kit. Turn the gas shut-off to stop the gas flow and unplug the range for safety. The conversion kit includes the instructions for doing NG -> LP and back. The pictures here, https://www.appliancepartspros.com/door-drawer-parts-for-ge-jgbs20bea1ad.html , may help you find the gas line parts.

There are a number of steps for the conversion. First, you need to flip a cap in the range's regulator. (When sold, the part is set for NG. You take it out and replace it after flipping it over (180) for LP.)

For the stove top, take off the burner grates and burners.
Next, you have to remove each burner orifice spuds (7 mm nut driver, IIRC) one at a time. Place the appropriate replacement orifice in that location. The orifice spuds are below the range surface so avoid dropping the parts. Each orifice spud has a letter with a different set of letters used for the NG and LP versions.

Inside the oven, you need to access the oven orifice spud. This requires taking off panels inside the oven. Replace the orifice spud, as with the surface burners. You'll also need to adjust the air flow for the oven.

Finally, turn the gas shut-off valve to on and plug in the power cord. Test the burners and adjust them following the directions in the instructions.

There is a blurb about finding the conversion kit and instructions on page 42 of the user's guide, available on the product page: https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-30-Free-Standing-XL44-Standard-Clean-Gas-Range-JGBS20BEAAD . The current link to the manual is https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-85135.PDF .

I hope this helps.

(Since LP and NG pressures are very different, I hope your range was already converted to the LP regulator and orifice studs. Then all you just need to adjust the air/gas ratio to get a blue flame.)

Yes.You will need to find the conversion kit.Not sure how old the XL44 is.Your local GE apliance parts store may be able to get you the kit.It will require swapping out the orifice on the four burners as well as the stove.Well hope this helps.

I just converted aXL 44 from natural gas to propane and I don't have a manual for it do I need to do anything for the oven part?
Also how do I light the pilot light or do I need to?

Check underneath the burner pans. They are usually there.

Hi, You will need to use a 1/2" wrench and turn the orfice for the oven 2 turns counter clockwise.
Make sure you flip the plunger over on the regulator also.
After doing these things, watch the flame in the oven to make sure no other adjustment is needed.
Please let me know if this helps or if I can assist you further.
