Air Shutter
should have approximately
l-inch blue cones and
should not extend beyond
the edges of the burner baffle. After 30 seconds
of burner operation, check for flames lifting off
burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually
reduce air shutter opening until flames are
stabilized.
For natural gas, the shutter should be open
1/2” or about 3/4 of the way open.
❑
CHECK FOR LEAKS
When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the off position and turn
on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak
detector at all joints and connections to check for
leaks in the system.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig
to pressure test the gas supply system of the
residence, disconnect the range and individual
shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When
using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the
gas supply system, simply isolate the range from
the gas supply system by closing the individual
shut-off valve.
