MINOR ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE
Broil and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shutters
Air adjustment shutters for the broil and oven burners regulate the flow of air to the flame.
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 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 flames should have 1/2” to 3/4” blue cones 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 the Problem Solver in this guide, call for service.
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.

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