MINOR ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE

An air adjustment shutter for each surface burner
regulates the flow 

 air to the flame.

When the right amount of air flows into the
burner, the flame will be steady, relatively quiet and
have approximately 3/4” sharp blue cones. This is
usually the case with factory preset shutter settings.

With too much air, the flame will be unsteady,
possibly won’t burn all the way around, and will be
noisy, sounding like a blowtorch.

With not enough air, you won’t see any sharp blue
cones in the flame, you may see yellow tips, and soot
may accumulate on pots and pans.

The air adjustment shutters set on the hood of the
valves and are positioned on the burner tubes by
friction fit.

To adjust the flow of air to the burners,  apply a

blade-type screwdriver against the friction-fit shutters

and push to adjust the shutters, allowing more or less
air into the burner tubes as needed.

To reach the shutter, remove the broiler drawer.

To adjust the flow of air to the burner, loosen the

Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter to allow
more or less air into the burner tube as needed.

To determine if the burner flame is proper, light the
burner. The flame should have 1/2” to 3/4” blue cones
with no yellow tipping, and should not extend out
over the baffle edges.
