Installation Instructions

QUALITY OF FLAMES

The combustion quality of burner flames
needs to be determined visually.

If burner flames look like (A), further
adjustment is required. Normal burner
flames should look like (B) or (C), depending
on the type of gas you use.

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer
cones is normal

(A) Yellow flames:

Further adjustment
required

(B) Yellow tips on outer

cones:
Normal for LP gas

(C) Soft blue flames:

Normal for natural
gas

ADJUST THE OVEN BURNER AIR
SHUTTER IF NECESSARY (CONT.)

For LP Gas:
The flame should have approximately
1-inch blue cones. After 30 seconds of
burner operation, check for flames lifting
off the burner ports. If lifting is observed,
gradually reduce the air shutter opening
until flames are stabilized. Some yellow
tipping may be normal for LP gas.

If Adjustment is Necessary:

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 for
LP gas.

The oven burner air shutter
adjustment is the same on ranges
with a gas pilot or electric ignition.
