You don't need to change the regulator, just the orifices.

SOURCE: Convert natural gas stove to LP

Nothing is imposible but this stove was not made to be converted. It is a not a classic crank down and flip model. Your best bet would be to get your LP gas supplier to do it.

SOURCE: Converting a GE Profile Gas Range from LP to natural gas

GE ships gas ranges set for natural gas, with the LP orifices included, usually on a metal tab held with one screw right near the regulator (where the gas connects to the range). If the range was converted to LP, the person who did the conversion was suppose to put the natural gas orifices back in that holder. If they are missing, comment back on the exact model number and I can look up the part number(s) for you.

SOURCE: Thermador PG484GGBS: How to convert from Natural Gas to LP?

I just did it with mine, I called thermador and they told me the number of the conversion kit to buy for my model.

I bought the kit from the retailer and did it myself, not very difficult.

Convert maxitrol regulator#rv47cl natural to propane gas

Some gas ranges cannot be converted. If your model can be converted it normally requires flipping over the regulator diaphragm and also changing orifices for all burners, surface and oven. Most modern new appliances come with the LP orifices located on a card attached to the regulator.

I have a Sears Kenmore Elite 790 hooked up to propane .. is it ok to have it hooked up to propane or is this over for natural gas only?

Kenmore Gas ranges can be used with Natural gas or Lp. They come from the factory set up for Natural gas so if you want to use Lp it needs to be converted by you or your gas company. There are several adjustments that have to be made and some ranges require orifices to be changed. Your installation manual tells how to convert it but if you're not sure about doing it you would be better off the call the gas man.

I need to find a conversion kit for my kenmore 790 range to switch from propane to natural gas. Where do i find it?

Most Kenmore ranges ship with the NG to LP conversion kit attached to the range. The conversion kit and instructions are in a bag and should be tied to the back near the regulator or behind the storage drawer. The installer who did the conversion was supposed to put the kit back with the original orifices in the bag.

If you do not have the kit, try looking for the manual at http://www.managemyhome.com/mmh/owner_manuals?intcmpMMHxG_HomexServices_Menu and ordering the conversion kit from http://www.searspartsdirect.com/ .

I hope this helps.

Gas stove need to switch to propane

Hi,

Hotpoint supplies the orifices and instructions with each range for converting. It is just that it is hidden, they attach it to the gas regulator. The regulator is near the bottom back typically. Here is a cut out from your use and care manual.

CONVERTING TO LP GAS (or converting
back to natural gas from LP)
This range leaves the factory set for use with natural
gas. If you want to convert to LP gas, the conversion
must be performed by a qualified LP gas installer.
The conversion instructions and LP orifices can be found
attached to the range next to the pressure regulator.
Keep these instructions and the orifices in case you want
to convert back to natural gas.

Need to convert from natural gas to LP. How?

I converted a gas range several years ago, and all that was required was that I had to 'seat' all of the orfices - or tighten them down so that they are completely seated (do not overtighten!). It has been working great for years!

Convert Kenmore 790 from LP to Natural
