The burners are tested and factory-set for most efficient
operation. However, variations in gas supply and other
conditions may make minor adjustments to air shutter or
low flame setting necessary.
It is recommended that a qualified technician make burner
adjustments.
NOTE: The rotisserie burner cannot be adjusted.
Checking and adjusting the grill burner flames requires
removing the grates and flame tamers.
Burner Flame Characteristics
The flames of the grill burners and side burners (on some
models) should be blue and stable with no excessive noise
or lifting (LP gas flames will have a slightly yellow tip). A
yellow flame indicates not enough air. If flame is noisy or
lifts away from the burner, there is too much air. Some
yellow tips on flames when the burner is set to HIGH
setting are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot
deposits appear. The flames should be approximately 1"
(2.5 cm) high.
Check that burners are not blocked by dirt, debris, insect
nests, etc., and clean burners as necessary. If they are clean,
adjust air shutters as needed.
IMPORTANT: Before adjusting air shutters, let burners cool
completely.
To Adjust:
1.Light grill using information in the "Outdoor Grill Use"
section.
2.Observe flame to determine which burners need adjustment
and how the flame is acting.
3.Turn off the valve and wait until grill and burners cool
completely.
4.Remove grill grates and flame tamers.
5.Remove the screw and cotter clip that hold the burner in
place. Remove gas burner from the grill.
Check and Adjust Burner
6. If flame is yellow (not enough air), turn air shutter
adjustment screw counterclockwise. If flame is noisy or
lifts away from burner (too much air), turn air shutter
adjustment screw clockwise.
Adjustment should be made clockwise or
counterclockwise from 1/8" (3.2 mm) to 1/4" (6.4 mm).
7. Replace gas burner, flame tamers and grates.
8. Light grill using information in the "Outdoor Grill
Use" section. See "Burner Flame Characteristics."
Low Flame Adjustment
If flame goes out on the "LOW" setting, the low flame
setting must be adjusted.
1.Turn off the valve and wait until grill and burners are
cool.
2.Remove grill grates and flame tamers.
3.Light grill using information in the "Outdoor Grill
Use" section.
4.Turn burner to its lowest setting.
5. Pull out each control knob for the main burner and
side burner.
6.Hold valve stem with pliers and insert a small flat-
blade screwdriver into the shaft.
7.Watch the flame and slowly turn the screwdriver
counterclockwise.
8.Adjust flame to minimum stable flame.
9. Replace the control knob and turn off the burner.
10.Repeat steps 3 through 9 for each burner if needed.
11.Replace the flame tamers and grates after the burners
have cooled.
