easier, protect the oven bottom	—
from excessive spillovers. This is
particularly important when baking
a fruit pie or other foods with high
acid content. Hot fruit fillings or
foods that are acidic (such as milk,
tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces
with vinegar or lemon juice) may
cause pitting and damage to the
porcelain enamel surface.
If a spillover does occur on the

first. You can then clean the oven

The air adjustment shutter for the top burner is in the center of the rear wall of the oven.

The shutter for the bottom burner is near the back wall behind the storage drawer.

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.

The flames for the top (broil) burner should burn steady with

To determine if the bottom burner flames are proper, remove the oven bottom (see below) and the burner baffle. The flames should have 1/2” to 3/4” blue con. with no yellow tipping. When the baffle is back in place, the flames will resettle.

Visually check the color of the flames every six months. If they look like illustration (A) on page 26, call for service.

Removable Oven Bottom

The oven bottom can be removed to clean large spills, but oven bottom must be replaced before using self- cleaning cycle.

Surface Burner

Air Adjustment Shutters

An air adjustment shutter for each surface burner regulates the flow of air to the flame.

When the right amount of air

flows into the burner, the flame –

will be steady, relatively quiet and will have approximately 3/4” sharp blue cones. This is usually the case with factory preset shutter settings.

With too much air, the flame will be unsteady, possibly won’t burn all the way around, and will be noisy, sounding like a blowtorch.

With not enough air, you won’t see any sharp blue cones in the flame; you may-see yellow tips, and soot may accumulate on pots and pans.

The air adjustment shutters sit on the hood of the valves and are positioned on the burner tubes by friction fit.

To adjust the flow of air to the

burners, apply a blade-type— screwdriver against the friction-fit shutters and push to rotate the

shutters, allowing more or less air into the burner tubes as needed.
