MAIN BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Important:
The air shutters must be adjusted
after installation. If not, this appliance
may not light, heat evenly, or cook
properly.
Main burner air shutters are easily accessed by
removing the front panel (face). The air shutters are
located at the front of the burners behind the face
(see PARTS LIST). The air shutter has a small dimple
(see Fig.
11-1
) that allows it to lock into notches in
the burner face. This prevents the air shutter from
moving.

1. Using the tip of a long screwdriver, close the air
shutters by turning the tabs to a vertical position
(Fig.
11-2
).
2. Light the barbecue in accordance with the
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS and burn for two
minutes with the knobs on HI LIGHT and the
oven open.
3. After burning for two minutes, open the air
shutters, using the tip of a screwdriver, until
the fl ames lift off, or appear not to be touching
the burners (Fig.
11-1
).
4. Begin closing the air shutters, with the tip of a
screwdriver, until the fl ames appear to burn while
touching the burner ports (Fig.
11-2
).
Note: You may then see short yellow tips on the
fl ames. If fl ames are a lazy yellow, open the
air shutters until the fl ame is blue with yellow
tipping.
Note: Barbecues, in some installations, achieve a
better air/gas mixture and will ignite more
quickly if the valve is fi rst turned beyond HI
LIGHT to LOW for lighting.
Main burner air shutters are easily accessed by removing
(when cool) the valve control knobs, and the counter
top cover. Carefully disconnect the spark ignitor wiring
when removing the cover (see PARTS LIST). The air
shutter has a small dimple (see Fig.
11-1
) that allows
it to lock into notches in the burner face. This prevents
the air shutter from moving.
