BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
Hestan side burners are similar to many residential gas cooktops. They do not have any
adjustments, except for the correct orifices, and adjustment of the low setting on the valve.
BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENT
Each side burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment. The proper orifice for
the gas type, and the air-fuel adjustment was made at this time. However, variations in the local
gas supply, the elevation where you live, converting from one gas type to another, and other
factors might make it necessary to adjust the burner flames.
The flames of the burners should be visually checked and compared with the figures below.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips (LP units will have some yellow tipping).
There should be no excessive noise or flame lifting. If any of these conditions exist, remove the
burner cap and check if dirt, debris, spider webs, etc., are blocking the center venturi hole, or the
individual burner ports. The occasional orange flame that quickly goes away is usually a small
amount of dust or water condensation which is burning off - this is normal.
VALVE ADJUSTMENTS
The valves on your Hestan side burner are preset at the factory for optimum performance.
However, the valve also features a low (simmer) adjustment if altitude, low-heat performance,
converting from one gas to another, or other factors indicate an adjustment is needed.
NEVER ADJUST THE BURNER SO LOW THAT IT MAY GO OUT DURING
USE. DO NOT OPERATE THE SIDE BURNER WITH THE LOW HEAT SCREW
REMOVED. GAS CAN ESCAPE AND CAUSE A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
CONDITION.
