Check and Adjustthe Burners

The burners are tested and factory-set for most efficient operation. However, variations in gas supply and other conditions may make minor adjustments to air shutter or low flame setting necessary.

It is recommended that a qualified person make burner adjustments.

NOTE: The rotisserie burner cannot be adjusted.

Checking and adjusting the grill burner flames requires removing the grate and sear plates.

Burner Flame Characteristics

The flames of the grill burners and side burners (on some models) should be blue and stable with no excessive noise or lifting (LP gas flames will have a slightly yellow tip). A yellow flame indicates not enough air. If flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner, there is too much air. Some yellow tips on flames when the burner is set to HI setting are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.

Check that burners are not blocked by dirt, debris, insect nests, etc. and clean as necessary. If they are clean, adjust air shutters as needed.

IMPORTANT: Before adjusting air shutters, let burners cool completely.

To Adjust:

1.Light grill using information in the “Outdoor Grill Use” section.

2.Observe flame to determine which burners need adjustment and how the flame is acting.

3.Turn off the valve and wait until grill and burners cool completely.

4.Remove grill grates and sear plates.

5.Remove the 2 screws that hold the burner in place. Remove gas burner from the grill.
