Air Shutter Adjustment - Whirlpool  SC8720EDB Use And Care Manual

Air shutter adjustment

To adjust grill burner air
shutters or surface burner air
shutters
Air opening
Air shutter
Insert screwdriver blade in slot
and twist with slight pressure to
allow air shutter to slide easily.
The left air shutter controls the rear half of
the grill burner. The right shutter controls the
front half.
Slide the air shutter backward or forward to
increase or decrease the size of the air
opening. Air shutters fit snugly on the grill
burner, so you may need a screwdriver
blade to make the adjustment. Notice how
the flame changes as you move the air
shutter. The adjustment is satisfactory when
you get a clearly defined, even blue flame at
the HI flame setting. The snug fit of the air
shutter will allow it to remain positioned
correctly.
On any burner, closing the air shutter too
far will cause the flame to become soft and
yellow tipped. Opening the air shutter too
wide will cause the flame to blow away from
the burner ports. Proper adjustment will
produce a sharp, clearly defined, even
blue flame.
