OPEN TOP, GRIDDLE, AND CHARBROILER BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS
Before attempting to adjust any top burner air shutter, assure the following information has been reviewed and is correct.
1. Gas:
a. Proper Type (must match serial plate on product)
b. Proper regulator setting (utilizing a manometer)
2. Orifice:
a. Properly parallel with the venturi throat of burner.
After verifying all the above issues, and the burner in question is yellow, lifting, or not a sharp pointed cone, proceed to
adjust air shutter as follows:
1. Remove all top cooking sections associated with the burners that are in question for air shutter adjustment.
2. Utilizing the required tool for the air shutter on the burner, loosen the appropriate securing fastener or slide non-
securing air shutter as required or proceed to adjust the air shutter by turning the air shutter counter clockwise, to
close and clockwise to open the gap.
3. Test burner flame for proper burn, and upon an acceptable flame condition, reinstall the top section area onto the
product.
Please Note:
Opening the air shutter gap will eliminate the yellow tipping on
the burner. Closing the air shutter gap will prevent a noisy
flame that lifts off the burner port.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Conditions that cause hazardous pungent
odors from your range:
1. Floating flames that are lazy looking and do not have a well-
defined inner cone. They are long ill defined, quiet flames that
sometimes lift completely off the ports of the burner.
2. A lifting flame that is well defined, and noisy.
3. An orifice that is out of line with the burner venturi.
Low flame is set at the factory. A low flame adjustment may be required if supplied gas pressure to the unit is low. If the
low flame setting on the burners does not sense the igniter, continuous clicking will occur. A low setting burner
adjustment will be necessary. To do so, the following steps are required:
1. Remove burner knob from valve stem that corresponds with the burner needing adjustment
2. With a small, thin, straight screwdriver, gently insert the screwdriver into the D-shaped stem
3. Proceed to turn adjusting screw 1/8” turn at a time, clockwise to lower, counter-clockwise to raise, until desired
flame is achieved.
