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

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).
