OVEN BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
1. The oven burner flame should be a clean,
blue flame with distinct inner cones
approximately 1/2 inch long. A soft, lazy flame
with indistinct cones means too much gas or not
enough air. A noisy lifting flame means too much
air. If adjustments are necessary you must first
loosen the lock screw located at the top of the air
shutter, then rotate the air shutter to the correct
setting, and retighten screw.
2. Oven burner flame can be checked as follows
(without burner baffle in place):
A. To correct a yellow flame—Increase size of
air shutter opening.
B. To correct a lifting, but distinct, blue flame—
Decrease size of air shutter opening.
3. The air shutter should be set approximately
2/3 open for natural gas, and approximately full
open on LP gas.
4. The oven burner air shutter adjustment is the
same on ranges with a gas pilot or electric
ignition.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 3
for the broil burner, if
equipped, to properly adjust
the broil burner flame.
