Surface Burner
Air Adjustment Shutters
An air adjustment shutter for each
surface burner regulates the flow of
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.
Broil and Oven Burner
Air Adjustment Shutters
¿lujuiiliiidii ic^i uiw
broil and oven burners regulate the
flow of air to the flame.
To adjust the flow of air to either
burner, loosen the Phillips head
screw and rotate the shutter to
allow more or less air into the
burner tube as needed.
The air adjustment shutter for the
top (broil) burner is in the center of
the rear wall of the oven.
The flame for the top (broil)
burner should be .steady with
approximately 1-inch blue cones
and should not extend out over the
—4--
uuiMC cugc.^.
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 rotate the
shutters, allowing more or less air
into the burner tubes as needed. The shutter for the bottom (oven)
burner is near the back wall behind
the storage drawer.
To determine if the bottom (oven)
burner flame i.s proper, remove
the oven bottom (sec page 18) and
the burner baffle. The flame should
have 1/2" to 3/4" blue cones with no
yellow tipping. When the baffle is
back in place, the flame will resettle.
