Air Adjustment

An air adjustment shutter for each

surface burner regulates the flow of air to

the flame.
When the right amount of air flows into

the burner, the flame will be steady,

relatively quiet and have approximately

3/4 inch sharp blue cones. This is usually

the case with factory preset shutters.
With too much air, the flame will be

unsteady, possibly won’t burn all the way

around, and will be noisy, sounding like a

blowtorch.
With not enough air, you won’t see any

sharp blue cones in the flame, you may

see yellow tips, and soot may accumulate

on cookware.

If the flames are yellow, use pliers to open

the air shutter more. If they blow away

from the burner, close the air shutter

more. Be sure to keep the gap in the air

shutter facing straight up. Be careful not

to distort the air shutter when making

adjustments with the pliers.
Now look at the inner cone of the flame.

It should be about 3/4-inch long for all

surface burners. If the flame is not the

right length, the orifice hood must be

adjusted. Use a 1/2-inch open-end

wrench to tighten the orifice hood by

turning in the LP direction to shorten

and the Nat. direction to lengthen.
