Air Adjustment - GE JGSP20GEP Use And Care Manual

Minor Adjustments You Can Make
Broil and Oven Burner
Air Adjustment Shutters
Air adjustment shutters for the
broil and oven burners regulate the
flow of air to the flame.
The air adjustment shutter for the
top burner is in the center of the
rear wall of the oven.
The shutter for the bottom burner
is near the back wall behind the
storage drawer.
To adjust the flow of air to either
burner, loosen the Phillips head
screw and rotate the shutter to
allow more or less air into the
burner tube as needed.
The flames for the top (broil)
burner should burn steady with
24
approximately 1" blue cones and
should not extend out over the
edges of the burner baffle.
To determine if the bottom
burner flames are proper, remove
the oven bottom (see below) and
the burner baffle. The flames
should have 1/2" to 3/4" blue con.
with no yellow tipping. When the
baffle is back in place, the flames
will resettle.
Visually check the color of the
flames every six months. If they
look like illustration (A) on page
26, call for service.
Removable Oven Bottom
The oven bottom can be removed to
clean large spills, but oven bottom
must be replaced before using self-
cleaning cycle.
To remove:
1. Slide the tab at the center front
of the oven bottom to the left.
2. Lift the oven bottom up and out.
To replace:
1. Slip the oven bottom into the
oven so the tabs in the rear of the
oven bottom fit into the slots in the
oven back.
2. Lower the front of the oven
bottom into place and slide the
front tab to the right to lock the
oven bottom into place.
The oven bottom has a porcelain
enamel finish. To make cleaning
easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive spillovers. This is
particularly important when baking
a fruit pie or other foods with high
acid content. Hot fruit fillings or
foods that are acidic (such as milk,
tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces
with vinegar or lemon juice) may
cause pitting and damage to the
porcelain enamel surface.
If a spillover does occur on the
oven bottom, allow the oven to cool
first. You can then clean the oven
bottom with soap and water, a mild
abrasive cleanser or soap-filled
abrasive pads. Rinse well to remove
any soap before self-cleaning.
Surface Burner
Air Adjustment Shutters
An air adjustment shutter for each
surface burner regulates the flow of
air to the flame.
When the right amount of air
flows into the burner, the flame –
will be steady, relatively quiet and
will have approximately 3/4" sharp
blue cones. This is usually the case
with factory preset shutter settings.
With too much air, the flame will
be unsteady, possibly won't burn all
the way around, and will be noisy,
sounding like a blowtorch.
With not enough air, you won't see
any sharp blue cones in the flame;
you may-see yellow tips, and soot
may accumulate on pots and pans.

The air adjustment shutters sit on
the hood of the valves and are
positioned on the burner tubes by
friction fit.
To adjust the flow of air to the
burners, apply a blade-type
screwdriver against the friction-fit
shutters and push to rotate the
shutters, allowing more or less air
into the burner tubes as needed.
