How to Use Your Range

HOW TO ADJUST THE FLAMES AND OVEN PILOT

require adjustment to the air shutters:

NOTE: Because of different altitudes above sea level and variations
in the supply of gas, you may need to adjust the main air intake
to the burners. This will result in a better air-gas mixture and thus
a better operation.

1.- Without the manifold panel, locate the adjustment screw on
the thermostat, see the illustration on the right side.
