BRASS BURNER FLAME/AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
The amount of air that enters a burner is controlled by the
air shutter.
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior
to shipment. However, fluctuations in gas pressure, gas
conversion and even in the quality of the gas itself may
make it necessary to adjust the burner.
The flames of the main brass burners should be visually
checked.
Flames should be blue and stable with slight yellow tips.
The bright-blue core should be about 3/8 inch high with a
total flame height of about 1 1/2 inches.
The flames should burn quietly (no “torch” sounds) and
they should not “lift” up from the burner.
If your flames do not match those indicated in the photo,
ensure that the air shutter and burner ports are free and
clear of dirt, debris, or spider webs. If clear, then adjust the
air shutter.
It is locked in place by a screw which must be loosened
before adjusting. Once adjusted retighten the screw.
To Adjust:
• Remove the racks and briquette trays.
• Lift out the burner, loosen the set screw and then put the
burner back in place and light it.
• If the flame is excessively
yellow, indicating insuf-
ficient air, CAREFULLY turn
the air shutter counter-
clockwise to allow more air
to the burner.
• If the flame is noisy (sounds like a torch) and tends to lift
away from the burner, indicating too much air, turn the air
shutter clockwise.
• After the burner cools down, remove it, tighten the air
shutter set screw and reinstall the burner, briquette trays
and grill racks.
NOTE: The Trident™ does not have an air shutter.
• The appearance of the Trident™ burner should be visu-
ally checked. The ceramic tiles should be uniformly red to
orange in appearance. There should be no lifting, flutter-
ing or lazy blue flames. Some food particles will show as
yellow flames but should burn off.
ONE LAST THING
Finally, before leaving, check all the burners for proper
operation. Make sure the control knobs turn freely and
completely through their full range.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the owner knows where the main gas supply
shut off valve is located.
Finally, for safety and for proper use & care, you must
leave this manual with the owner. Make sure you advise
them to keep it for future reference.
