You should look up the nearest appliance parts supply store and call with the model number, the correct one, and ask if there's a changeover kit made for it. If there is, then you'll need to change orifices and usually flip the spring loaded pin in the pressure regulator, which is located at the rear of the range where the gas connects. If there's no changeover kit made for your model, then it has adjustable orifices and can be adjusted, usually at the gas manifold just behind the burner and oven control knobs on the front. You'll probably have to raise the top lid to access them. You'll probably have to turn them down tighter which means from the top side, turn the wrench to the left, probably several turns. I forget what size the nut is, but I usually just use a 6" crescent to do this. You'll have to have a burner lit and when the flame comes back down to normal size, you're good. Sometimes the air control needs to be adjusted slightly to get a bluer flame with less yellow on the tip, but sometimes it's fine the way it is. It's not actually as complicated as some folks think, but it can be time consuming. And don't forget the oven, it will also have an adjustable orifice that will need to be done, back at the base of the burner tube.
You need to get a regulator as LP Gas needs regulated. Also you need to purchase different orifices because of the weight between the two gasses are different the holes size is different. There are things you need to buy and install to change if safely. You need to contact either sears appliances( they keep records) or go directly to Kenmore. Don't just guess.
first that is not a good model number or it is very old second if you have the owners manual there will be direction in there as to how.
there are some orifices that are adjustable but its hard to tell if you have the right kind with out the owners manual or a good model#. if you cant be sure as to exactly what you have I can't help you . It is not that hard to do but need to know where you are starting from (type of orifice) to get it done right
DON"T attempt to convert your own appliance!!! Conversion requires different orifice sizing,regulator springs, you need to know how many inches of water column your gas reg is allowing(and how to set it). We use tables for everything up to and including what size of drill bit is needed to "punch" out a new orifice. I have field converted many appliances and I still need the charts to determine orifice sizing. Find your convertion kit supplied with the appliance and call someone.
most gas appliances need a different set of jets for gas , LP have smaller ones than Natural gas . also they require different pressure regulators as LP runs on a much higher pressure call the appliance man and have it convert it and be safe
if you have to ask you can't afford the consequences of failure. it requires a unique part set, specialized measurement tools and a thorough knowledge and understand of combustion theory and application
$100.00 isn't worth blowing yourself up or burning down your house. tmm

You need to adjust the air venturi. Better off calling the Maytag repairman. You might blow your house up if you screw it up.
