Adjust the Oven Burner Air Shutter if Necessary
For Natural Gas:

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.
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.

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