BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENT

After converting the range to L.P. gas operation, it may be necessary to adjust each burner flame (cooktop and oven burners). A proper cooktop burner flame should be approximately 5/8" high and have a well-defined blue flame. The oven burner flame should be approximately 3/4" high and have a distinct blue flame. If the flame is noisy, or blowing off the burner, it is getting too much air. If the flame is soft and lazy, it is not getting enough air. Air adjustments can be made by adjusting the air shutter at each burner (see Figures 5-5A, B, & C). NOTE: There is no air adjustment for sealed burner cooktops.
