Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Surface Burner Air Shutter Adjustment
The approximate height of the flame at the
high or full ON position is a distinct inner blue
cone of at least 3/4 inch. Turn valve knob
counterclockwise 90° to the full ON position
and adjust air shutter as follows:
To correct a yellow flame—Increase size of air
shutter opening.
To correct a lifting, but distinct, blue flame—
Decrease size of air shutter opening.
Oven Burner Air Shutter Adjustment
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:
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.
Oven burner flame can be checked as
follows (without burner baffle in place):

ignition.

burner, if equipped, to properly adjust the
