WARNING: To avoid property damage or personal injury, allow the
replace ample time to cool before making any adjustments.
Burner ame appearance and characteristics are aected by
altitude, fuel quality, venting conguration, and other factors. After
installation, this appliance may need additional adjustments to
achieve optimum ame appearance and visual aesthetics.
10.2.1 Burner Venturi
WARNING: VENTURI ADJUSTMENT MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
NOTE: Burner venturi air shutter settings have been factory set. Refer
to Table 10.3.
When this appliance is rst lit, the burner ames will appear blue.
During the rst 15 minutes of operation, ame appearance will
gradually turn to the desired yellow appearance. If the ames remain
blue, or become dark orange with evidence of sooting (black tips),
adjustment of the air shutter opening may be necessary.
Regardless of venturi orientation, closing the air shutter will achieve a
desired yellow ame, but may produce soot on the glass. Opening the
air shutter will cause a short, blue ame that may lift o the burner.
