Adjusting the Burners
Flames
Caution: The following adjustments
must be made before turning on the
burner. Failure to do so could result in
serious injury. Be sure pressure
regulator has been converted as
described in step F2.
a.
Turn all burners full on and check the
flames.
They should be blue in color with no trace
of yellow. Foreign particles in the gas line
may cause an orange flame at first, but
this will soon disappear.
b.
To make adjustments, remove the control
knobs and panel. Insert a screwdriver in
the shaft to adjust the valve by-pass screw.
• If the flames were yellow or fluttered, open
the valve more than the original setting.
• If the flames blew away from the burner,
close the valve more than the original
setting.
c.
Make the adjustment, by slowing turning the
screw until flame appearance is correct.
Adjust the low flame setting using the valve
by-pass screw as follows:
Low setting adjustments must be made with two
other burners in operation on a medium setting.
This prevents the low flame from being set too
low resulting in the flame being extinguished
when other burners are turned on.
d. Testing flame stability:
Test 1 -
Turn the knob from “HI” to “LOW”
quickly. If the “LOW” flame goes
out, increase the flame size and
test again.
Test 2
- With the burner on the “LOW”
setting, open and close the cabi-
net door under the cooktop. If the
flame is extinguished by the air
currents created by the door
movement, increase the flame
height and test again.
e. Flame recheck:
After the adjustment is made, turn all burners
off. Ignite each burner individually. Observe
the flame at the “HI” position. Rotate the valve
to the “LO” position and be sure that the flame
size decreases as the valve is rotated
counterclockwise.
TO CONVERT THE COOKTOP BACK TO
NATURAL GAS, REVERSE THE STEPS
UNDER MAKING THE LP CONVERSION.
Once the conversion is complete and
checked ok, fill out the LP sticker and
include your name, organization, and date
conversion was made. Apply the sticker
near the cooktop gas inlet opening to alert
others in the future that this appliance has
been converted to LP gas. If converting
back to natural gas from LP, please
remove the sticker so others know the
appliance is set to use natural gas.
