Too much air may cause the flames to “lift off” the burner. This is a dangerous condition that must be avoided.
Do not open the air shutter too far. Too much air will also make it more difficult to light the burner. You may
test burn the grill to fine-tune the air shutter. Light only the burner to be adjusted and fine-tune the air shutter.
Adjustments should be made with the burner on HIGH.
Once adjusted to a stable flame that burns cleanly and does not lift, turn the burner OFF. Tighten the lock
screw.
To Adjust Burner LOW Settings (All Burners):
The low setting on the main burners can be adjusted WITHOUT removing the
control panel. A long and thin flat-blade screw driver is needed to make the
adjustments. Light the burner and set it to LOW.
Remove the control knob and insert the screw driver into the opening in the
center of the valve stem (see Figure 23:C, Figure 25). Turn the adjustment
screw (see Figure 25:A) until the flame on the burner is the minimum stable
flame height. The flame should be steady at all ports around the burner. The
flame should not be easily blown out without quickly reestablishing itself.

To Adjust the Ignition Burner Air Shutter:
The ignition burner air shutter (see Figure 26:A) is accessed within the base cabinet of the grill at the left-
hand side or by removing the control panel (see previous section on adjusting the main burner air shutters for
instructions on removing the control panel). Open the cabinet door and look inside up below the control panel
to locate the ignition burner air shutter. The air shutter is factory adjusted and should rarely need any further
adjustment. If you are experiencing yellow or orange flames rather than blue, it is possible the insect screen
over the air shutter has become clogged. Check the screen before adjusting the opening.
Loosen the screw that secured the air shutter (see Figure 26:B). Use care not to remove the screw by loosening
too far. Adjust the air shutter until the flames burn blue, are stable, and do not lift off the burner. Secure the air
shutter in position by re-tightening the screw.
To Clean the Ignition Burner Air Shutter:
Gently brush away debris from the screen using an old toothbrush.
Rotisserie Burners and Cooktop Burners Do Not Require Any Air Mixture Adjustment
