Main Burner Air Supply

For efficient burner operation, it is important that a proper balance of gas volume and primary air supply is maintained, resulting in complete combustion. Insufficient air supply results in a yellow streaming flame. Primary air supply is controlled by an air shutter on the front of the burner.

Loosen the hexagonal head screw on front of the burner. Adjust the air shutter to just eliminate yellow tips of burner flame. Lock the air shutter in place by tightening the screws. Repeat this procedure with all burners.

Pilot Flame

To adjust the pilot flame, remove the pilot adjustment cap to expose the adjusting screw (Fig. 1). Rotate the adjusting screw clockwise to reduce the gas flow and counterclockwise to increase the gas flow to provide a properly sized pilot flame (approximately 1/2" to 3/4" long). Replace adjustment cap.
