Step 10: Burner Test and Adjustment
Install any loose components, such as burner caps and
grates, that may have been removed earlier. Be certain that
burner caps seat properly into the burner bases. Before
testing operation of the appliance, verify that the unit and
the gas supply have been carefully checked for leaks and
that the unit has been connected to the electrical power
supply. Turn the manual gas shut-off valve to the open
position.
Yellow Flames:
Further Adjustment is
required.
Yellow Tips on Outer
Cones:
Normal for LP Gas
Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the
regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment,
retest.
Some orange-colored streaking is normal during the
initial start-up.
Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate before
making adjustments.
Test Rangetop Burners
Test Burner Ignition. Select a rangetop burner knob.
Push in and turn counterclockwise to HI. The ignitor/spark
module will produce a clicking sound. Once the air has
been purged from the supply lines, the burner should light
within four (4) seconds.
Test Flame: High Setting. Turn burner on to HI. See
Figure 26 for appropriate flame characteristics.
If any of the rangetop burners continue to burn mostly or
completely yellow, verify that the burner cap is positioned
properly on the burner base, then retest. If flame
characteristics do not improve, call THERMADOR

.
Test Flame: Low Setting. Turn burner on to SIM. Verify
that the flame completely surrounds the burner. There
should be a flame at each burner port and there should be
no air gap between the flame and the burner. If any burners
do not carry over, call THERMADOR.
The two far left burners feature XLO
flame to cycle on and off when the knob is set to the XLO
range. This is normal operation.
Repeat the Ignition and Flame Test procedures, described
above for each rangetop burner.
When Flame is Properly Adjusted:
There should be a flame at each burner port. There should
be no air gap between the flame and burner port.
Test Oven Burners
Remove the oven bottom cover. Remove the 4 screws
on the sides and the 2 screws on the back, then slide the
cover forward while lifting to clear the angled baffle plate
mounted to the bottom of the cover.
Test Bake Burner Ignition
Set the oven to BAKE at 350 °F (177 °C). After 30-75
seconds, the burner will ignite. The burner will stay lit until
350 °F (177 °C)is reached and then shut off. From this
point forward, the burner will cycle on and off to maintain
the temperature.
Test Broil Burner Ignition
Set cooking mode to BROIL. The burner will ignite after 30-
75 seconds.
Note:
The air shutter for the bake burner is set at the factory for
fully-open position under all conditions, and does not
require adjustment.
The infrared ceramic broiler does not have an air shutter,
so no adjustment is provided.
Replace oven bottom cover. Slide cover into place and
reattach to bottom of oven cavity.
Call THERMADOR if:
1. Any of the burners do not light.
2. The broil burner or bake burner flame goes out before
the oven heats to the desired temperature.
3. Any of the burners continue to burn yellow.
