spider, have you the correct jets fitted for LPG - most new hobs come with two sets of jets and one is for natural gas. If you have fitted those then it will not burn correctley!

Depends what make it is - best take one jet and go the rounds of Toros and the other suppliers. Explain what you need and they are very helpful.

I had the same problem and if you look at the manual it should tell you which jets to buy for LPG. I bought my injectors from Tektan in Girne and typically you will need a no.85, a no.86 and 2 no. 50 injectors but just read your manual to confirm. To change the injectors you will need a socket of the right size and once installed you will need to adjust the minimum flame setting (again the manual should tell you how to do it). If you have any problems then please feel free to e-mail me (e-mail address in my profile)
