•Replace the burner bowls and burner caps.
•Adjustments should not be required, unless
vibration during transit or variations in local
gas supply make minor adjustments necessary.
CAUTION: Burner adjustments must be made
by a qualified technician at the time of
installation. Extreme care should be used if
adjustments are made after installation.
•Burner flames should be blue and stable with
no yellow or yellow tips, excessive noise or
lifting of the flame from the burner. If any of
these conditions exist, check that the air
shutter or burner ports are not blocked. If
one of these conditions continues, adjust the
air shutter as required.
–If the flame is too yellow, there is
insufficient air flow, adjust the shutter
counterclockwise to increase air inlet.
–If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away
from the burner, there is too much air. Turn
the shutter clockwise to reduce air.

Minor adjustments may be required due to
fluctuations in local gas pressure. Adjustments
to increase or decrease gas flow may be
necessar y.
•Turn knob counter-clockwise to the LITE
position.
•Once lit, turn the know back to the “LOW”
position.
•Remove the knob.
•Insert a thin-blade flat screwdriver into
the valve shaft. (3/32" blade width
recommended.)

•Grip the shaft with pliers and turn counterclockwise to lower the flame, or clockwise to
increase the flame.
CAUTION: Do not turn the flame so low that
it goes out, causing the igniter to spark.
•When the desired setting is made, replace
the knob and turn burner off.
The griddle has two leveling screws beneath the
rear flue cover which can be used to adjust to
the desired slope. The center screw is for
