The air shutters for the grill burner may need to be
adjusted to get better flame appearance and ignition. The
air shutters for the grill burner are located on the bottom
of the grill burner. To access the air shutters, remove the
grill grate, and then the grill burner. Loosen the screw and
slide the air shutter backward or forward to increase or
decrease the size of the air opening. Re-tighten the screw.
