ADJUST GRILL BURNER

AIR SHUTTER
Air shutter
The air shutters for the grill burner may need to
be adjusted to get better flame appearance and
ignition. The air shutters for the grill burner are
located on the bottom of the grill burner. To access
the air shutters, remove the grill grate, and then the
grill burner. Slide air shutter backward or forward
to increase or decrease the size of the air opening.
Air shutters fit snugly on the grill burner, so a
screwdriver blade may be required to make this
adjustment (see illustration). The snug fit of the air
shutter assures it will remain positioned correctly.

WARNING:
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
Push in one control knob and
turn to the LITE position. The
igniter will spark and the burner
will light. The first test may
require some time while air is
flushed out of the gas line. After
ignition, turn the control knob to
the HI position and wait until the flame settles.
Check to determine if your burner flames are
C
normal. If burner flames look like A, turn off the
burner and make sure all parts are assembled
correctly. Reassemble and check.
Normal burner flames should look like B or C,
depending on the type of gas you use. With LP gas,
some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
