❑ADJUSTING THE AIR ADJUSTMENT

(See Step 8 if your range is equipped with a storage drawer.)

To determine if the bottom burner flames are burning properly, first remove the oven bottom and the burner baffle (on some models).

Oven

2.Grasp oven bottom at finger slots on each side.

3.Lift rear of oven bottom enough to clear the lip of range frame, then pull out.

On Some Models

To remove the burner bdfle (on some models):

1.Use a nut driver to remove the 1/4” hex- head screw shown in the illustration above. Do not remove any other screws.

2.Pull baffle straight out until it is free from the slot that holds it at rear of oven.

With the baffle removed, properly adjusted flames should have approximately 1“ blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural gas, should burn with no yellow tipping. with most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer cones are normal.) Flames should not lift off burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air shutter opening until flames are stabilized. With the baffle in place, or with the oven bottom in place (on models not equipped with a burner baffle), the flames should burn steady. They should not extend past the edges of the burner baffle (or the oven bottom if there is no baffle).

The shutter for the oven burner is near the back wall of the oven and behind the broiler drawer. To remove the broiler drawer:

1.Pull the drawer out until it stops, then push it back in about one inch.

2.Grasp handle, lift and pull broiler drawer out.

Remove the metal shield at the rear of the cavity. The air adjustment shutter is behind this shield. To adjust the flow of air to the burner, loosen the Phillips-head screw and rotate the shutter to allow more or less air into the burner tube.
