TROUBLESHOOTING OPEN-TOP BURNERS

Each open-top burner should have a steady blue flame on each port of the burner. Propane burners may have a small amount of yellow tipping, and may make a slight popping noise when turned off.

If the flame is rising up off of the ports, adjust the burner shutter so it is more closed. If the flame is long and yellow adjust the burner shutter so it is more open.

Consult the following table and the flowchart on this page.

Troubleshooting Open-Top Burners

Open-top burners are not working correctly.

Check that the burners are set level in their support brackets.

Check that the burners are clean and that their ports are clear.

Remove each burner and check that the venturi is clean and free of buildup and debris. Also check that the orifice size is correct and that it is clean and free of buildup and debris.

Remove the burner control knobs and carefully lower the valve panel. CAUTION! Convection oven models have wiring attached behind the panel.

Check that each burner valve and orifice is in alignment with the

corresponding burner.

Check the pressure of the gas supply with all the gas appliances connected to the supply turned fully on. The inlet pressure (before entering the pressure regulator for the range) must be in the range 3.5" to 5" W.C. (0.87 to 1.24 kPa) for natural gas, or in the range 10" to 11" W.C. (2.48 to 2.73 kPa) for propane. Adjust the pressure and/or capacity of the gas supply, if necessary.

Check the pressure of the gas manifold of the range (after the gas

leaves the pressure regulator for the range). See page 25.
