ADJUSTMENT OF GRIDDLE BURNERS AND PILOT

The burners and pilot are adjustable, and can be accessed from behind the front valve panel.
To remove the valve panel, first remove the knobs. Then remove the two screws on the bottom of the valve
panel. Pull the bottom of the valve panel away from the range. The top edge of the valve panel has two
small slots that hook over tabs on the frame.
The burner orifice is of the fixed type, sized for the type of gas and the operating altitude. To adjust the
burner air-gas mixture, loosen the screw that secures the air shutter on the mixer face and rotate the mixer
cap to obtain a clear, stable blue flame with a distinct inner cone at each port. Excessive primary air causes
"blowing" (the flames leaving the ports), while insufficient primary air causes a soft or yellow tipped flame.
The pilot and pilot-runners are located near the front of the burners, but the pilot adjustment valve is
located in the gas line between the safety valve and the pilot. If the pilot needs adjustment, do the
following:
1. Remove the control knobs, and remove the valve panel.
2. If necessary, light the pilot.
3. Locate the pilot adjustment valve (see drawing on next page). Turn the pilot adjustment screw
counterclockwise to increase the size of the pilot flame, or clockwise to decrease the size of the pilot
flame. The pilot flame should be about 1/2" (13mm) high with a slight yellow tip, and cover the
thermocouple tip. The first indication of over-adjustment is when the flame tip becomes more yellow
and begins to generate carbon, which appears as rising black streaks. Continued over-adjustment
leads to unstable lifting and a blowing condition.
4. Replace the valve panel and control knobs.
