GAS CONNECTIONS
BURNER FLAME-AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Air flow that enters the burner is controlled
by the ‘Air Shutter’. Each burner is installed,
adjusted and tested in the factory prior to
shipment. However, fluctuations in gas
pressure, gas conversions, and gas quality can
affect performance of the burner and
adjustments to the flame height may be
necessary.
Flames should be blue in color and stable,
with a slight yellow tip. The bright blue core
should be about 3/8” tall with a total flame
height of 1-1/2”.
The flames should burn quietly and not
appear to ‘lift’ up from the burner. If your
flames do not match this description, use the
following procedure.
To Adjust:
DANGER
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL AROUND HOT
BURNERS AND ADJACENT GRILL PARTS.
Air shutters are located near the brass valves
at the front of each burner. Each burner
needs to be adjusted separately.
Begin by completely removing the drip pan
and setting it aside. For the best view of the
burners, remove the cooking grates and the
‘Broilrite’ Flavor Enhancer’ plates.
The valve and burner air shutter can be seen
by looking upward at them from the front.
You will see a small Phillips head screw which
secures the air shutter. Loosen this screw.
NOTE: the air shutter opening has been
factory pre-set to the half-way position.
Ignite this burner and observe the flame. By
opening or closing the air shutter opening,
the burner flame will change in color.
If the flame is too YELLOW, this indicates a
lack of air and excess carbon is being
produced. OPEN up the air shutter by sliding
it TO THE REAR. Use a flat screw driver or
other long steel tool to accomplish this. DO
NOT USE YOUR BARE HANDS OR FINGERS TO
MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT. See also ‘Yellow
Burner Flames’ in the ‘Trouble Shooting’
section. If the flame is noisy (sounds like a
torch) and tends to lift up, then the air
shutter is delivering TOO MUCH air. Slide the
air shutter FORWARD slightly to CLOSE up the
opening and reduce the air flow. Your goal is
to create the most efficient, quiet, soft blue
flame.
After adjusting each burner, tighten up the
Phillips head screw which secures the air
shutter.
Replace the drip pan, enhancer plates, and
the cooking grates. NEVER operate the grill
without the drip pan installed, as this can
cause a potentially dangerous condition.
