Install Grates
First position the outer grates, followed by the the central
grate. If you only have two grates, the order in which you
position them is not relevant.
Check the Installation
Place each correct-sized burner cap in its seated,
notched position and check the operation of the electric
igniters. Check the flame characteristics. The flame
should be blue with a minimal yellow tip on the outer
cone of the flames.
Checking the flame characteristics
Yellow flames:
Further adjustment is
required.
Yellow tips on outer
cones:
Normal for propane gas
Soft blue flames:
Normal for natural gas
Orange flames:
Can be normal if certain
types of humidifiers are
used in the home. Flames
should return to blue with-
out the humidifier running.
Note: If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify
that the regulator is set for the correct fuel. Retest after
adjustment.
Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-
up. Allow the appliance to operate for 4–5 minutes and
reevaluate before making adjustments.
