MAIN BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Important: The air shutters must be adjusted
after installation. If not, this appliance
may not light, heat evenly, or cook
properly.
Main burner air shutters are easily accessed by
removing the front panel (face). The air shutters are
located at the front of the burners behind the face
(see PARTS LIST). The air shutter has a small dimple
(see Fig.
8-1 ) that allows it to lock into notches in
the burner face. This prevents the air shutter from
moving.

Main burner air shutters are controlled by the two
wire levers at the far right side of the cooking grill
(see PARTS LIST). The air shutter has a small dimple
(see Fig.
8-1 ) that allows it to lock into notches in
the burner face. This prevents the air shutter from
moving.
