Flame Adjustment (if necessary)
Tube-style gas burners used in Thermador appliances
have air shutter systems which are similar to the illustration
in Figure 14, and can be adjusted using the following
method (unless adjustment is not recommended). It is
necessary to remove the burner from the appliance in order
to perform air-shutter adjustments.
•
Loosen shutter screw(s) and turn shutter to new
position.
•
Adjust the shutter to more-closed position if the flame
is lifting or blowing, or is not carrying over.
•
Adjust the shutter to more-open position if the flame is
too yellow. (See Figure 14.)
•
Retighten the shutter screw(s).
•
After adjustment, reinstall the burner and perform
flame evaluation. The air shutter must fit over the
orifice hood for proper operation of the burner.
•
Repeat procedure as needed until flame characteristics
are acceptable. (See Figure 13.)
More Open:
Less Yellow Flame
More Closed:
Less Blue Flame
