Check and Adjust Burner
The burners are tested and factory-set for most efficient
operation. However, variations in gas supply and other
conditions may make minor adjustments to air shutter or
low flame setting necessary.
It is recommended that a qualified technician make burner
adjustments.
NOTE: The rotisserie burner cannot be adjusted.
Checking and adjusting the grill burner flames requires
removing the grates and flame tamers.
Burner Flame Characteristics
The flames of the grill burners and side burners (on some
models) should be blue and stable with no excessive noise
or lifting (LP gas flames will have a slightly yellow tip). A
yellow flame indicates not enough air. If flame is noisy or
lifts away from the burner, there is too much air. Some
yellow tips on flames when the burner is set to HIGH
setting are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot
deposits appear. The flames should be approximately 1"
(2.5 cm) high.
Check that burners are not blocked by dirt, debris, insect
6. If flame is yellow (not enough air), turn air shutter
adjustment screw counterclockwise. If flame is noisy or
lifts away from burner (too much air), turn air shutter
adjustment screw clockwise.
Adjustment should be made clockwise or
counterclockwise from 1/8" (3.2 mm) to 1/4" (6.4 mm).
