evenly or cook properly unless the
air shutters are adjusted following
installation (see AIR SHUTTER
ADJUSTMENT section).
Burner air shutters are easily accessed by removing
the front face panel. The air shutters are located on
the front portion of each burner and have a locking
screw that prevents the air shutter from inadvertent
movement (see Fig. 13-1).
T

air shutters, simply
loosen the locking
screw, using a long
stemmed Phillips
screwdriver, and
turn the air shutter
to open or close it.
Tighten the screws
down when the
desired setting is achieved.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Light the burner to be adjusted in accordance with
the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS and burn for 2
minutes with the burner control knob set to HIGH
and the oven open. After burning for 2 minutes,
open the air shutter until the fl ames lift off, or appear
not to be touching the burner. Then begin closing
the air shutter until the fl ames appear to burn while
touching the burner ports (Fig. 13-2). If fl ames are
