Testing and adjusting the bake
and broil burner flames
Properly adjusted oven burner flames are blue with a distinct
blue inner cone approximately
1
/2" long. When using natural gas,
flame should not have any yellow flame when burning. Some
yellow flame when burning LP/Propane gas is normal.
Flame should not be visible in oven cavity when burning and should not
extend into the oven cavity beyond the removable oven bottom.
See Delayed Ignition section in Important Safety Information for safety
warnings and procedures.

air shutter)
If burner flame is yellow and does not hold its shape, increase airflow to
the burner (open air shutter).
