AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
(See illustration “C”)
This appliance is shipped from the factory with air
shutters adjusted for use with natural gas. If further
adjustment is necessary, or to reset for use with LP,
adjust air shutters as follows:
Grill Burner and Surface Burner Cartridge Air Shutters
(see illustration “C”).
S
The left hand air shutter controls the rear half of the
burner.
S
The right hand shutter controls the front half.
S
Access to air shutters on the surface burner cartridge
may be found through openings on the bottom of the
cartridge housing.
Slide air shutter backward or forward to increase or
decrease the size of the air opening. Air shutters fit
snugly, so a screwdriver blade may be required to make
this adjustment (see illustration.)
Observe change in flame appearance as the air shutter is
moved. Adjustment is satisfactory when a clearly defined,
even blue flame results at the high flame setting. The
snug fit of the air shutter assures it will remain positioned
correctly.
On any burner, closing the air shutter too far will
cause the flame to become soft and yellow tipped.
Opening the air shutter too wide will cause the
flame to blow away from the burner ports. Proper
adjustment will produce a sharp, clearly defined,
even blue flame.
3. Adjust air shutters on individual burners for proper
flame appearance.
4. Adjust low flame setting at each burner by turning
adjustment screw in center of valve stem.
To make these conversion adjustments follow the
instructions and illustrations (“A” through “D”).
IMPORTANT
Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints
and fittings in the gas connection between the supply
line shut-off valve and the range. Include gas fittings
and joints in the range if connections were disturbed
during installation. Check for leaks! bubbles appearing
around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If
a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve,
tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas shut
off valve, and retest for leaks. Never test for gas leaks
with an open flame.
This appliance is shipped from the factory with orifice

The size and type of cookware and the amount and type
of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for
best cooking results. The setting indicated should serve
as a guide while you become familiar with your cooktop.
Use the
Hi
flame setting to
quickly bring foods to a boil or to
begin a cooking operation. Then
reduce to a lower setting to
continue cooking.
Never leave
food unattended over a
Hi
flame
setting.
Med
setting is used to continue a
cooking operation. Food will not
cook any faster when a
Hi
flame
setting is used than that needed
to maintain a gentle boil.
Remember, water boils at the
same temperature whether
boiling gently or vigorously.
Use
Lo

serving temperatures without
further cooking. You may find
that some cooking may take
place if the cookware is covered.
