Thermador P24WK - Manual (Page 15)

Step 7: Test and Adjustment
CAUTION
Thermador recommends that
burner adjustments be made by
a qualified technician at the time
of installation. Extreme care
should be used when adjust-
ments are made after installa-
tion. Improper or lack of adjust-
ments may create harmful by
products and may void your war-
ranty.
Install any loose components, such as burner caps and grates, that
may have been removed earlier. Before testing operation of the
appliance, verify that the unit and the gas supply have been carefully
checked for leaks and that the unit has been connected to the electric
power supply. Turn the manual gas shut-off valve to the open position.
Check operation of the sealed gas burners, griddle and grill by
pushing and turning each knob counterclockwise to HI. Check that the
burner caps are correctly seated on the burner bases. The burner
igniters will click until the flame ignites. The two far left sealed burners
feature XLO
® , causing the flame to cycle on and off when the knob is
set to the XLO range. This is normal operation.
EACH GAS BURNER MUST BE EVALUATED FOR CORRECT
FLAME PERFORMANCE IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION OF
THIS APPLIANCE. In PC Cooktop models, air shutter for the grill
burner (NOT top burners) is preadjusted at the factory. However,
environmental or installation conditions may require readjustments.
Flame evaluation is performed with burner's control knob at highest
setting.
If the PLPKIT is used to convert this appliance from Natural to
Propane Gas, flame evaluation and air shutter readjustments must
be performed — see instructions provided with the PLPKIT for correct
recommendations.
Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, exces-
sive noise, or lifting of the flame from the burner. If any of these
conditions exist, check that the air shutter (grill only) or burner ports
are not blocked or clogged. Remove any blockages that exist.
If the flame is too yellow, indicating insufficient air, adjust the shutter
more open to increase air inlet (grill only).
The sealed top burner flames should be approximately 1 to 1-1/2"
high. The grill burner flame should be 1/2" to 1". (See Fig. 13).
NOTE: No air shutter or low flame adjustment is necessary or
possible with the sealed top burners.
