BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT (Continued)

BACKBURNER (IF EQUIPPED)

The backburner is set at the factory and will not require adjustment unless this unit is converted or used at an elevation above 2,000 ft.

Back panel

Flames from a properly adjusted backburner will appear as a horizontal line of even blue ßames along the bottom of and behind the backburner grating.The grating itself will glow red after it heats up.

Note: It is normal for the backburner to smoke when it is Þrst used. Burning the backburner on HI LIGHT for approximately 15 minutes will eliminate the smoking.

If, instead of being blue and even, the backburner

ßames appear to have orange in them and waver slowly left and right, or if the ß ames appear to lift off the burner, adjust the backburner air shutter by following the steps below.

The backburner air shutter adjustment is located behind the right side of the access panel in the back of the oven, above the cooking grid.

Note: Itisonlynecessarytoremovethebackburner back panel, not the backburner, when adjusting the backburner air shutter.

1.Follow the safety precautions and steps for backburner back panel removal (steps 1-4) in the CHANGING THE BACKBURNER ORIFICE section.

CAUTION: The backburner air shutter can be safely adjusted with the backburner lit if it is adjusted using a long-handled screwdriver or well-insulated Þ re and heat-resistant gloves.

Too large an air shutter opening will allow too much air into the burner, which will cause the ß ames Þ rst to shorten and then to appear to lift up off the ports. For the bottom of the ß ames to move closer to the

ports, close the air shutter more.

If the air shutter opening is too small or closed, the

ßames will present consistently orange tips and become Òlazy,Ó slowly wavering left and right.

3.Continue adjustment until the ß ames appear to touch the burner ports, burning fairly steadily, consistently, and almost entirely blue with some light-yellow tips (see Fig. 34-1), then retighten the backburner air shutter adjustment screw.

4.Replace the burner access plate (step 8 in the

CHANGING THE BACKBURNER ORIFICE section).

SIDEBURNER

The sideburner is set at the factory and will not require adjustment unless this unit is converted or used at an elevation above 2,000 ft.

The flames from a properly adjusted sideburner will touch the burner ports and appear mostly blue with light-yellow tips.

If they are orange, Òlazy,Ó or lift off the burner ports, then adjust the sideburner air shutter using the following steps.

The sideburner air shutter is located underneath the sideburner shelf on the left side of the unit, near the wall of the cart. It can safely and easily be adjusted while the sideburner is lit.

CAUTION: Do not touch the sideburner or the shelf around it. They will be hot while adjusting the sideburner air shutter.

1.Light the sideburner following the lighting instructions in this manual.
