BURNER AIR SHUTTER
ADJUSTMENT
The efficiency of the burner depends on a delicate
balance between the air supply and volume of gas.
Whenever this balance is disturbed, poor operating
characteristics and excessive gas consumption may
occur. An air shutter on the front of the burner controls
the gas mixer balance. A yellow streaming flame on
the burner is an indication of insufficient primary air.
To correct this condition, loosen the shutter screw and
rotate the air shutter open until the flame begins to lift
from the burner, then close the shutter slightly and
tighten the shutter screw. A proper flame should be
blue in color, well-defined and seated on the burner
port. A white-blue flame is a result of excessive
primary air.
NOTE: The factory default air shutter positions are
half open natural; full open propane.

THERMOSTAT-COMBO VALVE
CALIBRATION
Operation
The thermostat-combo valve is self-regulating and the
thermostat is internally connected to the valve. When
thermostat dial is set to 350°F and the oven is below
setpoint, the valve opens to allow gas flow and burner
lights. As the oven temperature rises, the pressure
from the sensor bulb in the oven increases. Fluid in
the capillary tube expands with the temperature
increase and presses against a diaphragm in the
thermostat. When the oven temperature reaches
setpoint, the internal valve closes to stop gas flow to
burner.
When the oven temperature decreases below
setpoint, the pressure is reduced in the capillary which
reduces the force on the diaphragm allowing the valve
to open again.

THERMOCOUPLE TEST
Operation
The thermocouple supplies a DC millivolt signal (MV)
to the gas safety valve when heated by the pilot flame.
The gas safety valve will shut off gas flow to the pilot
and main burner in case of a pilot outage. When
energized by the thermocouple voltage, the gas safety
valve is held open to permit gas flow to the pilot and
provide gas for the burner when the thermostat calls
for heat. The pilot flame height is controlled by an
adjustable needle valve located under a small cover
screw on the gas safety valve.
Pilot Checks
If experiencing pilot outages, perform the following:
Visually check pilot flame for the proper contact on
thermocouple and adjust as outlined under PILOT
FLAME HEIGHT. If adjustment does not result in a
pilot flame of proper height, then gas might not be
flowing properly to the pilot.
Check for:
•A plugged pilot orifice.
•Kinked or plugged pilot gas tubing.
•Low gas supply pressure.
Thermocouple Checks
NOTE: Tubing connection from the thermocouple tip
to gas safety valve is an electrical connection and
must be clean and dry. Do not use any sealing
compound on the threads of thermocouple nut.
Do not overtighten the thermocouple nut or the
insulator could be crushed, shorting the
thermocouple. Finger tighten the nut plus 1/4 turn with
a wrench only.
If pilot flame is correct and there are no excessive air
drafts in the room, then problem is either the
thermocouple output voltage or the gas safety valve.
Visually check the thermocouple tip (hot end) and tube
lead for:
•Loose thermocouple connection (electrical) at
the safety valve.
•Corrosion or debris on the threaded connector or
thermocouple tip causing a poor electrical
connection.
•Kinks or pinches that might cause a short
between the tube and the wire inside.
If thermocouple is loose, tighten mounting nut as
described above in NOTICE. If thermocouple
connection shows signs of corrosion or debris that
cannot be cleaned; or damage as described, replace
it and check pilot operation as outlined under PILOT
FLAME HEIGHT.
Thermocouple Test
Check the thermocouple output voltage (DC millivolts)
with a VOM as outlined in the steps below.
•If thermocouple adaptor (see TOOLS) is
available, check closed circuit voltage as outlined
in the test procedure.
•If thermocouple adaptor is not available, check
open circuit voltage as outlined in the test
procedure.
