With the appliance installed the appliance regulator
should be located as shown in either figure 3, 4 or 5
(pages 4, 5 & 6). Identify the type of appliance
regulator and follow the instructions in the appropriate
illustration.
C. RESET THE VALVES FOR NATURAL GAS
1. Light one burner, and set on low.

3. Remove the rubber grommets.
4. Locate the valve adjustment screw. See figure 12.
5. Insert a slender, thin-blade screwdriver into knob
hole and engage blade with slot in adjusting screw.
6. Starting from the LP position (see #5 on page 9,
under C. LOW FLAME ADJUSTMENT), turn the
screw counter clockwise until the flame stabilizes
and matches the pictured "low" setting on figure 13.
Proper adjustment will produce a stable, steady blue
flame of minimum size. The final adjustment should
be checked by turning the knob from high to low
several times without extinguishing the flame.
After Steps A, B and C have been completed, check
the appearance of each burner's flame at the Hi and Lo
settings against figure 13. If the flames appear too
large or too small, make sure all steps were completed
correctly.
