Step 9 Burner Test and Adjustment
Install any loose components,
such as burner
caps
and grates that may have been removed
earlier.
Be
certain that burner caps seat properly
into the burner
bases.
Before
testing
operation
of the appliance,
verify
that the unit and the gas supply
have been
carefully
checked for leaks and that the unit has been
connected
to the electrical
power
supply.
Turn the
manual gas shut-off valve to the open position.
Test Rangetop
Burners
Test
Burner
Ignition.
Select
a rangetop
burner
knob. Push in and turn counterclockwise
to HI. The
ignitor/spark
module
will produce
a clicking
sound.
Once the air has been purged from the supply
lines,
the burner should
light within four (4) seconds.
Test Flame:
High Setting.
Turn burner on to HI. See
Figure 9 for appropriate
flame characteristics.
If any of the rangetop
burners continue
to burn mostly
or completely
yellow,
verify
that the burner
cap is
positioned
properly on the burner base, then re-test. If
flame
characteristics
do
not
improve,
call
Thermador@.
Test
Flame:
Low
Setting.
Turn
burner
on to LO.
Verify that the flame completely
surrounds
the burner.
There should be a flame at each burner port and there
should
be no air gap between
the flame
and the
burner.
If any
burners
do
not
carry
over,
call
Thermador@.
The two far left burners
feature
XLO®,
causing
the
flame to cycle on and off when the knob is set to the
XLO range. This is normal
operation.
Repeat
the Ignition
and Flame Test procedures
de-
scribed above for each rangetop
burner and the grill
burner (if so equipped).

Further
adjustment
is required.
Yellow
Tips on Outer
Cones:
Normal for LP Gas.
Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the
regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment,
retest.
Some orange-colored
streaking is normal during the
initial start-up.
Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate before
making adjustments.
WHEN
FLAME
IS PROPERLY
ADJUSTED:
.
There
should
be a flame
at each burner
port.
.
There should
be no air gap between
the flame
and burner
port.
The gas grill uses a tube-style
burner that has an air
shutter
which
allows
adjustment
to the amount
of
primary
air inside the burner tube.
Air shutters
of tube-style
burners
are pre-adjusted
at
the factory,
and usually do not require re-adjustment
except
under rare conditions
such as installation
at
high altitude.
If grill burner/flame
adjustment
is required,
go to the
procedure:
"Flame Adjustment
(if necessary)".
