Hardly used as was part of a deceased estate - was functioning on LPG before we bought it. The local plumber hooked it up to natural gas and put a pressure regulator on it and tested that the correct gas pressure was being delivered to the unit (1.25 Kpa I think he said), but it wont stay lit. Does he need to do anything different ? Do we need to convert the burners or anything ?

This should be fairly easy to do. You will have to get new jets that are sized for propane. These should be readily available. The jets on the stove top are located under each burner in the top of the pipe that delivers the gas. Remove the burner and you should be looking at a small hole in the center of a brass fitting, that's the jet. It unscrews and the new jet screws in. You may also have to adjust the simmer. This adjustment is located on each burner valve. When you pull of the knob, the adjustment will most likely be in a hole on the shaft where the knob came out or as was the case with my stove, it was behind and beside the shaft, just visible with a flashlight. This adjustment is done with the flame on in low medium. You may need to hold the shaft with pliers to keep the valve from opening. Turn the screw a half turn or so until the flame simmers to your liking and is not so thready tat it wants to go out.
For the oven, this will either be an adjustable jet, or you will need to replace it with one set up for propane. Either way its a doable project.

No,you have to convert it to propane.The regulator,orfices need to be changed.Call sears or where you purchased the oven and ask them for a conversion kit.Its also not difficult to do.
SOURCE: can you convert any natural gas hobs to LPG?
They are convertible. Most come with converting parts attached to the interior of the range.

Hi, Did you flip the cap on top of the regulator? As far as adjusting the bake/broil orfices, all you will nee to do is turn them 2 full turns counter clockwise. Start the oven and watch the flame. It should have blue tips as much as possible.
You might have to raise or lower the orfice adjustment as needed.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, a complete shot in the dark as its a while since you posted - we have a mains gas rangemaster 110 and need an LPG one, do you still need to change or have you sorted it now? Cheers
