Step 7: Burner Test and Adjustment
Install any loose components, such as burner caps and grates that may have been removed earlier.
Be certain that burner caps seat properly into the burner bases. Before testing operation of the appliance, verify that the unit and the gas supply have been carefully checked for leaks and that the unit has been connected to the electrical power supply. Turn the manual gas
Test Rangetop Burners
Test Burner Ignition. Select a rangetop burner knob. Push in and turn counterclockwise to HI. The ignitor/spark module will produce a clicking sound. Once the air has been purged from the supply lines, the burner should light within four (4) seconds.
Test Flame: High Setting. Turn burner on to HI. See Figure 13 for appropriate flame characteristics. If any of the rangetop burners continue to burn mostly or completely yellow, verify that the burner cap is positioned properly on the burner base, then
Test Flame: Low Setting. Turn burner on to LOW. Verify that the flame completely surrounds the burner. There should be a flame at each burner port and there should be no air gap between the flame and the burner. If any burners do not carry over, call THERMADOR.
The two far left burners feature XLO®, causing the flame to cycle on and off when the knob is set to the XLO range. This is normal operation.
Yellow Flames:
Further adjustment is required.
Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:
Normal for LP Gas.
Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment, retest.
