Sear burner flame characteristics:
The flames of the grill burners and surface burners (not used on all models) should be blue and stable with no excessive noise or lifting (L.P./propane gas flames will have a slightly yellow tip). A yellow flame indicates not enough air. If flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner, there is too much air. Some yellow tips on flames when the burner is set to HI setting are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
Check that burners are not blocked by dirt, debris, insect nests, etc. and clean as necessary. If they are clean, adjust air shutters as needed.
IMPORTANT: Before adjusting air shutters, let burners cool down.
