Adjusting For The Proper Flame - KitchenAid KGST300 Technical Education

ADJUSTING FOR THE PROPER FLAME

SURFACE BURNERS
1. Turn on one of the surface burners and set
the flame to its lowest (LOW) setting. The
flame should be steady and the inner cone
should be dark blue in color. The size
should be approximately 1/4" (0.64 cm)
high.
2. If the low flame needs to be adjusted:
a) Remove the control knob.
b) Look inside the gas valve stem and note
the small screw. Insert a small screw-
driver into the gas valve stem and fit it
in the screw slot.

mately 1/4" high.
d) Replace the control knob.

check to make sure that it remains ad-
justed properly.

just them, if necessary.
BAKE BURNER
1. Remove the oven racks and oven bottom.
2. Light the bake burner and check the flame.
It should be approximately 1/2" (1.3 cm)
high.
3. If the burner flame needs to be adjusted:
a) Loosen the locking screw on the burner
air shutter.
b) Adjust the air shutter until the flame is
the proper height. The inner cone
should be bluish-green, and the outer
mantle should be dark blue. There
should be no blowing or lifting of the
flame away from the burner ports.
NOTE: Natural gas flame does not have
a yellow tip.
c) Retighten the air shutter screw.
