Adjustment of Oven Pilot and Burner
The burner orifice is of the fixed type, sized for the type of gas and the operating altitude. To adjust the burner air-gas mixture,
loosen the screw that secures the air shutter on the mixer face and rotate the mixer cap to obtain a clear, stable blue flame
with a distinct inner cone at each port. Excessive primary air causes “blowing” (the flames leaving the ports), while insufficient
primary air causes a soft or yellow tipped flame.
The oven pilot flame is adjusted by using a screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw on the pilot line valve (see drawing below).
The pilot line valve is located behind the kick panel below the oven door. To gain access, lift the kick panel straight up and pull
the top edge out. The pilot flame is properly adjusted when it is just large enough to maintain a glowing red color of the flame
switch capillary bulb. The first indication of over-adjustment is when the flame tip becomes yellow and begins to generate
carbon, which appears as rising black streaks. Continued over-adjustment leads to unstable lifting and a blowing condition.
