MINOR ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE
Adjusting Orifice Hoods
Check the inner cones of the flames. The inner cone
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.

Broil and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shutters
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 Problem
Solver 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) on the Problem
Solver in this guide, call for service.
When checking the flames, before and after
adjustments, the oven door should be closed.
