CHECKING THE OVEN BURNER OPERATION

THE BAKE/BROIL BURNER
NOTE: The oven burner is used for both bake and
broil functions.
1. Open the broiler door so that you can access
the oven burner.
2. Hold a match flame against the opening in the
top of the pilot area at the rear of the oven
burner until the pilot lights. (NOTE: There are
no adjustments for this pilot light.)
3. Turn the oven control to 350˚F. The oven
burner should light in 20- to 40-seconds (the
delay is due to the time it takes for the gas
valve to open and the gas to flow to the
burner).

4. Check the flame. If it is noisy, or is blowing
away from the bar, there is too much air during
combustion. If the flame is soft and not high
enough, there is not enough air. If either of
these conditions occur, perform the next step.
5. Loosen the air shutter screw, adjust the air
shutter opening for the best flame, and then
retighten the screw.
