HOW TO CHECK OPERATION
How to Adjust Standard Burner
IMPORTANT
: Adjustments must be made with two other burners in operation on a medium setting. This
prevents the upper row of the flames from being set too low, resulting in the flame being extinguished when other
burners are turned on.
1.
Turn all burners on the highest setting and check the flames. The flames should all be blue in color (LP gas
will have blue flames with yellow tips). Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame at first, but
should disappear in a short period of time.
2.
Light one burner and turn to the lowest setting.
3.
Remove the control knob to the desired burner that you wish to adjust.
4.
Insert screwdriver through the access hole in the valve shaft. (Refer to Figure 19 .)
5.
Slowly turn the screw until the flame appearance is correct.
If the flames are too small or fluttered, open the valve more than the original setting.
If the flames are too large, close the valve more than the original setting.

Testing Flame Stability
Test 1: Turn the control knob from “HI” to “LO” quickly. If the upper row of flames goes out at this setting,
increase the flame size and test again.
Test 2: With the burner on “LO”, open and close the cabinet door under the cooktop. If the flame is
extinguished by the air currents created by the door movement, increase the flame height and re-test.
Flame Check
After all the flame adjustments have been made, turn all burners to the off position.
“LITE” each burner individually and observe the flame at the “HI” position.
Rotate the burner knob to the lowest setting and be sure the flame size decreases as the knob is rotated
counter-clockwise.
