I recently purchased a new GE gas cooktop. I only have access to propane so I followed the instructions and changed the orifices as well as inverted the plug in the provided gas regulator to propane. I purchased a new propane regulator from the local propane store to install at the tank. The propane deal told me which (at the tank) regulator I needed. I have pressure all the way too, coming out of the cook top regulator (2nd regulator). I connected everything per the manual and don't seem to have any gas at the burners. What have I done wrong? There is no lock on this cooktop that I am aware of.

Thanks cjahn

You can't smell or hear any gas either if you turn the gas on without igniting it? Obvious question, did you re-open the main valve, sorry but I had to ask. Secondly, I'd make sure you have flow through the regulator, disconnect the line to the cooktop and make sure you have a flow of propane. These are not complicated systems, and the fix should be easy.
