If any abnormality is evident, check that the components of the burner assembly are
z
located properly.
When installing the burner port ring, align the two locating pins in the bottom side of
z
the port ring with the locating notch and center holes on the top side of the simmer
ring, and make sure these are properly engaged.
Incorrect installation may produce a potentially dangerous flame and result in poor
z
burner performance.
No air shutter adjustment is possible on the cooktop burners. Proper operation is
z
achieved with factory installed settings for the correct gas type.
If proper operation cannot be obtained, contact Customer Care or your nearest
z
Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Center.
The range and cooktop must not be used by the customer until proper operation
z
has been achieved.

GRILL AND GRIDDLE BURNERS (SOME MODELS ONLY)
Each valve and air shutter is individually tested and adjusted prior to shipment. Normally adjustment is not required, however,
vibration during transit, gas conversion or variations in the local gas supply may make minor adjustments necessary.
Check for the proper burner flame characteristics and adjust air shutters if necessary. Burner flames should be blue and stable
with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting of the flame from the burner. If any of these conditions exist, check that the air
shutter or burner ports are not blocked.
If the condition persists, adjust the air shutter as below:
If the flame is too yellow, indicating insufficient air loosen the shutter to increase air inlet.
z
If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, tighten the shutter to reduce air.
