All oven burners have an air adjustment
shutter. The purpose of the shutter is to
regulate the flow of air to the flames.
Properly adjusted flames should burn
steadily with approximately 1-in of blue
cone. The flames should never extend
past the edge of the burner baffles. Even
though these are preset at the factory, they
should be checked and, if needed, adjusted
periodically to ensure efficient operation.
The shutters are located at the base of the
burner manifolds near the back oven wall.
To adjust the shutter, loosen the locking
screw and rotate the shutter towards the
open or closed position as needed. If flames
are lifting off the burner ports, gradually
reduce the air shutter opening until the
flames are stabilized.
If flames are too yellow and/or too large,
gradually increase the air shutter opening
until the flames have approximately a 1-in
blue cone.
NOTE
If the range is set up for natural gas, the flames should burn with no yellow
tipping. If the range is set up for LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of the cones
are normal.
