should have a small inner cone with a

burner flame should be 1/2" (1.3 cm) long
with a bluish-green inner cone and dark
blue outer mantle. L.P. gas flames have a
slightly yellow tip. If the flames are noisy
or blowing, they are getting too much air.
If the flames are soft and lazy, they are
not getting enough air. If burners need
adjusting, see “Check operation” section,
Steps 17-22, Page 7.
