HOW TO CHECK OPERATION
How to Adjust Standard Burner
IMPORTANT: Adjustments must be made with two other burners in operation on a medium setting. This
prevents theupper row of the flames from being set too low, resulting in the flamebeing extinguished when other
burners are turned on.
1. Turn all burners on the highest setting and check the flames. The flames should all be bluein color (LP gas
will have blue flames with yellow tips). Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame at first, but
should disappear in a short period of time.
2. Light one burner and turn to thelowest setting.
3. Remove the control knob to the desired burner that you wish to adjust.
4. Insert screwdriver through the access hole in the valve shaft. (Refer to Figure 19 .)
5. Slowly turn the screw until the flame appearance is correct.
If the flames are too small or fluttered, open the valve more than theoriginal setting.
If the flames are too large, close the valve more than the original setting.
Figure 19
Testing FlameStability
Test 1: Turn the control knob from “HI” to “LO” quickly. If the upper row of flames goes out at this setting,
increase the flame sizeand test again.
Test 2: With theburner on “LO”, open and closethecabinet door under the cooktop. If the flameis
extinguished by the air currents created by the door movement, increase the flameheight and re-test.
Flame Check
After all the flameadjustments have been made, turn all burners to the off position.
“LITE” each burner individually and observe the flame at the “HI” position.
Rotate the burner knob to thelowest setting and besure the flame size decreases as the knob is rotated
counter-clockwise.
