Hello ShillaLamb,
Welcome To ACOC Web Site.
There Should Be A Valve @ The LPG Tank By Regulator.
You May Have A Small Gas Valve Under Cover Of Range Top.
Take Off Grades, Then Lift Cover & Check To See If Someone Added A Small Gas Valve At Copper Tubing To Oven/Range Unit.
I Know There Is Another Small Valve For Furnace & One For Fridge. Off There Copper Tubings. 

You Should Ask The Person Who, Check Your LPG System, & Also Who Check Your Unit.
Explain What The Repair Was Done On LPG Aka Propane... ;) ;)

The Old Saying Safe Than Sorry...

Hi ShillaLamb,
Here's a photo of the knob on my tank. Like ClipperJoe said it's a good (and safe) idea to have your lines checked to make sure you don't have any leaks.  It will take a minute to light your stove burner, water heater or furnace until the air clears out of the lines.  I usually light a stove burner first and once I know the air is out of the lines, I ignite the propane for the fridge. Good luck and let us know if you were able to get the propane on.
