Adjusting pilot burners and locating adjustment screws
for models with pilot lights are covered in installation
notes for those models. A properly adjusted pilot flame
means the burner will correctly ignite. Problems caused
by delayed ignition are avoided.
Proper Flame Adjustment - All Models
For the best results, each burner should display a proper
flame. A proper flame has a blue-green inner core, a
dark blue outer mantle and a soft appearance.
A proper flame is set by adjusting the air shutters for
each burner. Air shutter adjustment is described below.
1. Remove grates, burner caps, knobs and control
panel.
2. Remove or lift up maintop.
3. Loosen lock screw on air shutter.
4. Opening air shutter increases air to flame. Closing air
shutter decreases air to flame.

and grates.
