Minor Adjustments You Can Make
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
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 bum all
the way around, and will be noisy,
sounding like a blowtorch.
With not enough air, you won't see
any sharp blue ~ones 'ii the flame,
you may see yellow tips, and soot
may accumulate on pots and pans.
Air adjustment shutter
The air adjustment shutters on the
hood of the valves are positioned
on the burner tubes by friction tit.
To adjust the flow of air to the
burners, apply a blade-type
screwdriver against the friction-fit
shutters and push to adjust the
shutters, allowing more or less air
into the burner tubes as needed.
Broil and Oven Burner

Air adjustment shutters for the
broil and oven burners regulate the
flow of air to the flame.

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 flame for the top (broil)
burner should be steady with
'..
approximately l-inch blue cones
and should not extend out over the
baffle edges.
To determine if the bottom (oven)
burner flame is proper, remove
,...
the oven bottom (see page 17) and
,...
the burner baffle. The flame should
have 1/2" to 3/4" blue cones with no
yellow tipping. When the baffle is
back in place, the flame will resettle.
Visually check the color of the
flames every six months. If they
look like illustration (A) on page 25,
call for service.
