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):

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.

The air shutter should be set approximately

2/3 open for natural gas, and approximately

full open on LP gas.
The oven burner air shutter adjustment is

the same on ranges with a gas pilot or electric

ignition.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the broil

burner, if equipped, to properly adjust the

broil burner flame.
