TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
CAUTION: Take extreme care to assure that, if a valve
is opened, a flame is present. If a valve is left open
without a flame, turn the valve off and wait at least five
minutes before attempting to (re)light. Service should be
performed only by a qualified gas technician.
Burner Flame Adjustment:
(a) The burner flame should be as blue as possible.
However, there will be traces of orange and/or
yellow from particles in the air burning in the
flame. Slight yellow tips at the flame ends are
acceptable.
(b) If the flame appears yellow, loosen the air-mixer
cap hold down screw “A” (see figs. 2 and 3).
Rotate the air mixer cap counter-clockwise to allow
more air into the burner, until the flame turns blue.
Tighten the screw.
Pilot Flame Adjustment:
The pilot flame can be adjusted by turning the
appropriate adjusting screw using a screwdriver or a
3/16 wrench (see fig. 2), counter-clockwise to increase,
clockwise to decrease and close. The pliot flame should
be about 1/2 inch long.
Lack Of Heat:
Check to see if the pilot flames are on. If they are on but
the burners do not light, or the burner flames look weak,
then there is a possibility of a gas pressure loss to the
broiler.
(a) Check that the unit’s main valve is fully open.
Normally in the open position, the valve handle
will be parallel to the piping. The valve should
be located somewhere on the gas line feeding
the charbroiler. If the handle is NOT parallel to
the piping, the unit is not getting the gas supply
required to operate properly. Turn the valve handle
parallel to the gas supply line.
(b) If there is a problem with the gas supply, it may be
checked fairly easily. Turn off half of the burners
or turn off all other gas appliances and see if the
broiler flames increase. If there is an increase in
the flame height then there is a problem with the
gas supply. A problem with the gas supply requires
immediate attention. IMMEDIATELY close all the
burner valves (turn to the off position), including
the charbroiler’s main valve. Contact a qualified
service agency or the public gas company.
