Care and cleaning of the oven.
Air adjustment shutters for the broil and
oven burners regulate the flow of air to
the flame.
All ovens are factory adjusted for use with
the natural gas used in most areas. But,
since the gas in some areas may be
different, you should check all
adjustments described. If you are using
LP gas, all the adjustments must be
made.
The air adjustment shutter for the top
burner is in the center of the rear wall of
the oven.
The shutter for the bottom burner is near
the back wall. Remove the oven bottom
for access.
Turn the burner full on and check the
flames. The burner flames should not
flutter or blow away from the burner.
They should be blue in color with no
trace of yellow. Foreign particles in the
gas line may cause an orange flame at
first, but this will soon disappear. If the
flames are yellow or flutter, open the air
shutter more. If they blow away from the
burner, close the air shutter more. See
the illustration in the
Troubleshooting Tips
of
this guide for correct flame appearance.
To adjust the flow of air to either burner,
loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate
the shutter to allow more or less air into
the burner tube as needed.
The flames for the top (broil) burner
should
burn steady with approximately 1
″
blue
cones and should not extend out over the
edges of the burner baffle.
To determine if the bottom burner flames are
proper,
remove the oven bottom and the
burner baffle. The flames should have
1/2
″
to 3/4
″
blue cones with no yellow
tipping. When the baffle is back in place,
the flames will resettle.
Visually check the color of the
flames every 6 months. If they look like
illustration (A) in the
Troubleshooting Tips
in this guide, call for service.
When checking the flames, before and
after adjustments, the oven door should be
closed.
Adjusting Orifice Hoods
Nat.
L.P.
Check the inner cones of the flames.
The inner cones of the flames should be
about 1/2
″
long. If the flames are not
right, use a 1/2
″
open-end wrench or
adjustable joint pliers to adjust the
orifice hood.
WARNING:
If you attempt to measure the inner
cone of the flame, please use caution. Burns
could result.
To shorten the cones, tighten the orifice
hood by turning in the “L.P.” direction.
To lengthen the cones, loosen the orifice
hood by turning in the “Nat.” direction.
