Do not remove any other screws.
2.

flames should have approximately 1“ blue cones
and, if range is supplied with natural gas, should
burn with no yellow tipping.
most
gas,
small yellow tips at the end of outer cones are
normal.) Flames should not lift off burner ports.
If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air
shutter opening until flames are stabilized. With
the baffle in place, or with the oven bottom in
place (on models not equipped with a burner
baffle), the flames should burn steady. They
should not extend past the edges of the burner
baffle (or the oven bottom if there is no baffle).
The shutter for the oven burner is near the back
wall of the oven and behind the broiler drawer.
To remove the broiler drawer:
1.

back in about one inch.
2. Grasp handle, lift and pull broiler drawer out.
Remove the metal shield at the rear of the cavity.
The air adjustment shutter is behind this shield.
To adjust the flow of air to the burner, loosen the
Phillips-head screw and rotate the shutter to
allow more or less air into the burner tube.
