8ADJUST BROIL AND OVEN BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTERS ON MODELS WITH A STORAGE DRAWER, IF NECESSARY (See Step 9 if your range is equipped with a broiler drawer.)

Air adjustment shutters for the top and bottom burners regulate the flow of air to the flames.

Air adjustment shutter

Loosen

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

Air adjustment shutter

The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near the back wall behind the storage drawer or the kick panel (depending on the model). Remove the drawer or panel. See the Care and Cleaning section in this guide.

To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter toward open or closed position as needed.

The flames for the top (broil) burner should be 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 burning properly, remove the oven bottom. 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.

Oven bottom

To remove the oven bottom:

1.Remove the knurled screws holding down rear of the oven bottom.

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

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