Tips Installation Instructions Care and Cleaning

The oven burner flame should be a clean, blue flame with distinct inner cones approximately 1/2 inch long. A soft, lazy flame with indistinct cones means too much gas or not enough air. A noisy lifting flame means too much air.

For LP Gas:

The flame should have approximately 1-inch blue cones. After 30 seconds of burner operation, check for flames lifting off the burner ports.

If lifting is observed, gradually reduce the air shutter opening until flames are stabilized. Some yellow tipping may be normal for LP gas.

If adjustment is necessary:

Remove the valve shield in the rear of the broiler compartment.

Loosen the lock screw located at the top of the air shutter, then rotate the air shutter to the correct setting and retighten screw.

Quality of Flames

Oven burner flame can be checked as follows (without burner baffle in place):

To correct a yellow flame—Increase size of air shutter opening.

To correct a lifting, but distinct, blue flame—Decrease size of air shutter opening.

The air shutter should be set approximately 2/3 open for natural gas, and approximately full open for LP gas.

The oven burner air shutter adjustment is the same on ranges with a gas pilot or electric ignition.

Replace the valve shield (on some models) in the rear of the broiler compartment.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually.

(A) Yellow flames: Further adjustment required

(B) Yellow tips on outer cones: Normal for LP gas

(C) Soft blue flames:

Normal for natural gas

If burner flames look like (A), further adjustment is required. Normal burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending on the type of gas you use.

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is normal.
