Broil and Bottom Burner Air Adjustment Shutters
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be
determined visually. See the Installation Instructions
and the Problem Solver sections in this book. Air
adjustment shutters for the top (broil) and bottom
burners regulate the flow of air to the flames.
The flames for the top (broil) burner should burn
steady with approximately 1“ blue cones and should
not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle.
To determine if the bottom burner flames are
proper, remove the oven bottom and the burner
baffle.
The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil) burner
is in the center of the rear wall of the oven.
(See Installation Instructions in this book.)
To remove the oven bottom:
1. Remove the knurled screws holding down rear of
oven bottom.
2. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side.
3. Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to clear the
lip of the range frame, then
pull
out.
Burner Baffle Remove Screw
+“~
The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near the
back
wall
behind the storage drawer, or kick panel.
To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the
Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter to allow
more or less air into the burner tube as needed. To remove the burner baffle (on some models), use
a nut driver to remove the 1/4” hex head screw shown
in the illustration above. Do not remove any other
screws. Pull baffle straight out until it is free from the
slot that holds it at rear of oven.
The flames should have 1/2” to 3/4” blue cone with no
yellow tipping. When the baffle is back in place, the
flames will resettle.
