ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Oven Burner Air Shutter Adjustment
The oven burner flame should be a clean, blue flame with distinct inner cones. A soft,
lazy flame with indistinct cones means too much gas or not enough air. A noisy lifting
flame indicates too much air. If adjustments are necessary, you must first loosen the
lock screw located at the top of the air shutter at the back of the burner tube, then
rotate the air shutter to the correct setting, and retighten screw.
Oven burner flame can be checked as follows (without
flame spreader in place):
• To correct a yellow flame - Increase size of air shutter
opening.
• To correct a lifting, but distinct, blue flame - Decrease
size of air shutter opening.
The air shutter should be set approximately 2/3 open for
natural gas, and approximately full open on LP gas.
Preheating
Heat the oven to the desired temperature before placing the food in the oven. Preheat
for 10 to 12 minutes.
Opening Oven Door
Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Arranging Oven Racks
The oven racks should be arranged before the oven is turned
ON
. Place the racks so
the food is centered in the oven.
Temperature Selection
It is important to select to proper temperature setting. Imagine that the control has
three sections:
Warm, Bake, and Broil.
Warming
The broiler section of your range can function as a warming drawer to keep foods at
serving temperature (175°F to 225°F). Place food on the broiler pan in the low position
and set the oven control to the lowest setting.
