Go to your local hardware store and ask for an orifice to convert your stove from natural gas to propane. I am sure a salesperson will tell you how to install it if it doesn't come in a package with instructions.
Replace the jets on the burners.
go to your local propane supplier and see if he can order your a conversion kit which consists of new orifices for the flow of propane. he usually will want to do this for you since you will be another client for his propane
It is not necessary to install a range hood simply because you have a natural gas range. Range hoods simply remove odors, heat and moisture from the home. There is not enough natural gas put out from a range to require a separate filtration unit.
yes, it can
No. you have to change the nozzles for the burners and for the stove portion. The replacement nozzles generally come on the rear of the stove upper right or left corner on a small 2" strip. the nozzles are small with 6flat sides to allow tightening with a wrench. to gain access to the nozzles for the range top generally you have to lift the top,remove the burner, unscrew the propane nozzle and attach the natural gas nozzle. the natural gas nozzle has a larger orifice to allow the gas to pass through to the actual burner. the stove is a bit more complicated but can be done by anyone who is semi mechanically inclined.
Propane can vary from as low as 0.1% to 4% on a percent mol basis of the well stream. I attached a link from Union Gas which gives the range as 0.1 to 1.5%, but this is specific to their system. From other sources, I found values as high as 4%. I was unable to identify an "average" percentage, as each gas field is different.
switch the jets over to natural gas. get them at most hardware stores.
how do we get our gas range converted back to natural gas
In order to convert a gas range to propane, one must change the inlet valve. There flow rate of the gas must also be adjusted too.
Yes, but you will have to purchase the conversion kit from your nearest AGA provider and have the range converted by a gas company. We are in the process of doing just that. Not terribly expensive and well worth it.
you have to change the orifice. propane operates under higher pressure than natural gas thus requiring a smaller orifice. call any place that sells and services gas appliances and i`m sure they can be of help.
you have to chane all the little gas orificies All you have to do is drill out the orifices. Email me at dfeinc@gmail.com . I will give you pictures and the size of the drill, by email.
LP Convertible Gas Range means stove can be converted from natural gas to propane gas.
The conversion of a natural gas appliance for use with propane involves replacing the jets that regulate the rate of flow of the fuel. Natural gas and propane have different abilities to deliver heat energy when they burn. Propane, a product of petrochemical refining, has more heat energy per cubic foot, about 13.8kWh, than does natural gas, a petroleum gas that is extracted directly from the ground, and has about 10.8kWh of energy per cubic foot. What that means in this case is that the jets will have to be replaces with ones that have a smaller hole in them. This allows the burners to deliver the same performance with propane as they did with natural gas. IMPORTANT! Failure to replace the jets with the proper ones for the new fuel will cause the range to run hotter than its designers engineered it for! Don't fool around with this one. A fire could cost you the structure in which the range is operated if you don't do things right. Of course that wouldn't matter much to you if you were unfortunate enough to be inside when it burned down. A word to the wise is sufficient. Call your propane supplier and get the straight scoop. They're the experts.
It may be setup for propane or natural gas and you are supplying the wrong gas through the Oriphis.

Propane will save you quit a bit over electric.
