Converting LPG cooker to natural gas

    I have an Electrolux LPG cooker (EIKG6049XL) and we recently changed out heating over to Natural Gas. The long term plan is to replace the cooker with a natural gas one, but it occoured to me that it may be possible to convert the existing one to run on LPG.

    Does anyone know if this is possible or who would do such work?

    You would need to replace all burner injectors along with FFD and Thermostats, must be done by an RGI but un-economical.

    Thanks Billy.

    What's FDD?

    I might ask the installer who fitted the Boiler.

    It turns out that the missus wants a shiny new cooker, so it went up on adverts earlier. Thanks for the info.
