When comparing propane and butane, the most important differences come down to the boiling point of the gases. Propane has a boiling temperature of -42°C, whilst butane has a higher boiling point at -2°C. ... When stored as a liquid in a tank, propane also exerts a greater pressure than butane at the same temperature.

I do not think you need a handbook for that.
Most cooker tops have nozzles that you can replace. They look like the ones in the link.
there are numbers printed on these nozzles.
LPG nozzles have smaller holes in it.
Just find out what size you need, they mostly are wrench 7 mm

LPG is Liquid Petroleum Gas. It is a mix of Butane and Propane gas pressurized to form liquid. It can be used to fuel vehicle, stove, water heater etc.
Talk to the manufacturer or check your owners manual. The jets in the burner must be slightly smaller for butane. The flame will burn yellow with black soot/smoke if you don't change them.
Usual problems are:-
No gas from supply cylinder.
Safety bypass not allowing start up gas flow.
Piezo lighter not sparking.
Another possibility, strange as it mat sound, is the burner being blocked by mud-wasps; difficult to believe, easy to rectify.
It shouldn't be burning yellow and emitting soot at all;sounds like on of these possible causes-
(a)blocked burner airways(this can lead to yellow tipping and sooting on LPG powered appliances because insufficient air is getting through to the burner causing it;you can also get this effect on LPG barbecues say if dead insects or spiderwebs are in the burner pipes and airways after a period of storage),
(b)incorrect aeration being set when the burner was converted using LPG jets(too much gas and not enough air causing yellow flames/smells and sooting),
or (c) if you use propane cylinder gas a dicky or faulty regulator. I would get it looked at investigating all the possibilities I mention and taking action to correct this where necessary ie clearing the burner airways(if this is causing your problem), adjusting the aeration in the burners until you get a clear noiseless blue flame without any excessive yellow and sooting(but even after good adjustment you may find still get a very slight yellow tip without sooting at the top of the flame;this does happen with propane gas and there is a slight tendancy for this to happen more often with butane-butane tends to display very slight yellow tips on ignition increasing slightly as the burner warms up to full temperature) or if you use propane cylinder gas replacing the regulator if that is necessary.
