Adjusting Surface Burner Flame
Placing burner caps
Burner cap must be correctly seated on the burner base for proper operation
of the burner. Verify cap is properly aligned and leveled by moving the burner
cap around on burner base while rangetop is cool.
The cap should not be loose.
The pegs in the burner base should fit into the recess on the underside
of burner cap.
Cap should be the correct size for each burner base.
Cap must be clean and dry for proper ignition.
Place grate over cap and burner base once cap is properly placed.
Testing and adjusting surface burner flame
A properly adjusted surface burner on a high setting has flames that are
clean and blue with a distinct inner cone approximately
1
/4 to
1
/2" long. Some
yellow flame is normal when burning LP/Propane.
See Delayed Ignition section in Important Safety Information for safety
warnings and procedures.
Flames will not be a uniform size around the cap. This distribution
around the cap and grate allows for optimal heating.
If burner flame is blowing or noisy, airflow should be reduced to
the burner (close air shutter).
If burner flame is weak and does not hold its shape, airflow should be
increased to the burner (open air shutter).
