Adjusting Rangetop Burner Valves Manually; Special Tools Needed; Adjusting The Bypass Screws - Thermador PRL304EG Service Manual

Service Manual for Thermador Pro Grand LP Gas Ranges, Models: PRL304EG, PRL364EDG, PRL364ELG, PRL366EG, PRL484ECG, PRL486EDG, PRL486EDPG, PRL484ELG
4. Re-install the burner. For the large oven, see Replacing the Bake
Burner – Large Oven, page 97. For the small oven, see Replacing
the Bake Burner – Small Oven, page 105.
5. Test to evaluate the flame characteristics.
6. Repeat procedure as needed until flame characteristics are
optimal.

3.6 Adjusting Rangetop Burner Valves Manually

Figure 16: Bypass Screw on Valve (Control Panel Removed for Clarity)

Although pre-adjusted, if you need to set the XLO valves and
standard valves for the lowest possible flame setting, then manually
adjust the bypass screws on the valves.
3.6.1

Special Tools Needed


To reposition the bypass screws for minimum flow settings on
manual valves, use a precision high-strength blade screwdriver,
with a 1/8 inch [3.0mm] wide, .020-inch [0.50mm] thickness tip.

Adjusting the Bypass Screws

1. Turn off electrical power by unplugging the power cord, or putting
the circuit breaker in the OFF position.
2. Remove knobs from valve stems by slowly pulling knobs straight
out, away from control panel.
3. For newer models: Remove and retain the two bezel mounting
screws and remove the bezel.
4. For older models: Valve screws can be accessed directly
through the control panel, without removing the bezel mounting
screws.
5. To engage the valve screw, insert the precision screwdriver with
1/8 inch blade into the same hole in the bezel that was created by
the removal of the right side mounting screw (see Figure 18,
page 16).
6. Turn the valve screw clockwise just until "bottom out" position is
reached. DO NOT over-tighten the valve screw (see Figure 18).
NOTE: The two valves for XLO operation (farthest left on control
panel) must be in the OFF position for proper access to the valve
screws through clearance holes in the XLO potentiometers.
NOTE: The griddle/grill is controlled by a thermostat and does not
have a valve that requires adjustment.
Gas Leaks
With electrical power off, carefully check for gas leaks at each gas
component that was removed, replaced, or otherwise serviced
using a gas leak detector or bubble test. For XLO valves (not
standard valves), you may need the electrical power to be on
when testing for gas leaks. Use extreme caution when
performing gas leak testing on XLO valves with the electrical
power turned on.
