Hi there!
I'm reaching out this time as we are trying to install an American stove which needs to be converted from natural gas to propane.
We did the conversion and all the burners work fine but the oven doesn't, flames from the oven come out every time we start it.
We are not sure why this is happening and my question to you guys is if somebody has had that problem or if you guys know what to do upon this situation... Thanks!

From what I understand, Supergas is a mixture of propane and natural gas. So it's possible that the orifice isn't sized correctly. It seems to me that the flow rate and the gas/air mixture need to be exactly right, or you can get a flame out. I wouldn't know how to fix it other than to get various sized orifices and try them until it works.

Not sure how good your spanish is... In spanish, for this part, they use the word "oido".

There's a place in Las Piedras called Repuesto Hogar. It's a father/son operation. The father doesn't speak english at all, but his son Darcy (yes that's his name) speaks good english. I don't have my phone with me, so I don't have the phone number handy. But the great google says this is their contact information:

Repuesto Hogar.
Av. Gral. Flores 673. Las Piedras. Tel. 364 77 18* - 365 44 94*

If that info is wrong, let me know and I'll get my phone back from my daughter.

Their place is about a block west of the plaza before the railroad tracks.. If you go there in person in the middle of the day around lunch time, make sure you stop at the bakery/buffet next door for the buffet. We like it very much.
