- Note: If installing this grill in a combustible enclosure, the correct insulating liner must be used. Consult liner instructions for counter cut-out dimensions and installation.
- Includes any substrate at front wall of enclosure (in the area the rear of the control panel is to sit fl ush against). See SUBSTRATE section on next page.
- Only applicable for non-combustible enclosures that have countertops with an overhang (see illustration and section below).
COUNTERTOP OVERHANG
The control panel is designed to sit fl ush against the enclosure front wall.
If the non-combustible enclosure countertop extends beyond the front wall,
creating a countertop overhang, it must be cut fl ush with the front wall for
the width of the control panel or a gap will be created exposing the forward
portions of the left and right side grill fi re walls. See illustrations above.
Important: FOR YOUR SAFETY, you must provide openings in the island enclosure
for drainage, replacement air, and cross-ventilation of any storage area
exposed to possible leakage from gas connections, the unit, or propane
bottles. See the ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS section for details.
SUBSTRATE
When adding any substrate to the enclosure front wall (including tiles, stone,
etc.), consider the following:
Substrate Behind Control Panel
Substrate+ countertop “front to back” cutout must equate to Dim. C (see
previous page) when the substrate sits fl ush behind the control panel.
Substrate Alongside Control Panel
Any additional substrate alongside the control panel does not need to be
considered in Dim. C (see previous page), however 1 /4″ clearance on each side
(same as overhang) and below is required. BUILT-IN GRILL DIMENSIONS TABLE

GRILL MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY INFORMATION
-
The outdoor grill and surrounding area MUST remain clear of fl ammable substances such as gasoline, yard debris, wood, etc.
-
The airfl ow through the vent space located below the control panel must remain unobstructed.
-
When using propane gas:
a. The required ventilation openings in the enclosure must be clear of debris. See the PROPANE SAFETY INFORMATION section.
b. The propane cylinder, regulator, and rubber hose must be in a location not subject to temperature above 125° F (51° C). -
The fl ames on each burner burn evenly along the entire burner with a steady fl ame (mostly blue). If burner fl ames are not normal, check and clean the orifi ce and burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fi re beneath the grill. A proper fl ame pattern will ensure safe operation and optimal performance. Adjust the air shutter as needed (see AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT).
-
The in-line gas valve or gas cylinder valve must always be shut OFF when the grill is not in use.
-
The drip collector holes must be clear and unobstructed. Excessive grease deposits can result in a grease fi re.
-
The backburner or IR burner cover must be removed before using the burner.
-
Whenever reconnecting any wires, apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the male connector, then make the connection. This will ensure conductivity and prevent moisture from affecting the contact.
WARNING: NEVER cover the entire cooking or grill surface with griddles or
pans. Overheating will occur, and burners will not perform properly when
combustion heat is trapped below the cooking surface.
CAUTION: NEVER spray water on a hot gas unit.
The grill serial identifi cation number is located on the underside of the drip
tray handle. It is recommended that the drip tray fi rst be removed and cleaned
/ emptied of its contents, then turned over to view. The unit rating label is
located on the inside of the control panel.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A 120VAC (15 AMP minimum) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) GROUNDED
3-wire receptacle (not included) is required within the vicinity of the grill
to provide power to the unit.
-
Observe all local codes.
-
Verify proper polarity of the receptacle.
-
If an extension cord is used, ensure it is a 3-wire
GROUNDED cord that is rated for the power of the equipment, and is approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking. DO NOT use 2-prong adapters. -
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE EXTENSION CORD OR THE UNIT POWER-SUPPLY CORD.
Important: ONLY REPLACE THE OVEN LIGHTS WITH 12V / 10 WATT HALOGEN
BULB(S).
LIGHT SWITCH
The light switch is push button operated, and is located on the right side of
the control panel (see Fig. 9-1). It controls the power to all lights.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Installation must be performed by a qualifi ed professional service technician.
This grill is designed for outdoor use only. DO NOT use this grill inside a
building, garage, enclosed area, or under overhead combustible construction.
See below and the EXHAUST REMOVAL section on the following page for details on
installing under non-combustible overhead construction.
DO NOT use this grill in or on a recreational vehicle or boat.
Important: If installing this grill in a combustible surround, the correct RHP
insulating liner must be used.
Important: Refer to the information below to ensure all required clearances
are met.
The grill must have a minimum clearance of 18″ from combustible
materials/items AT ALL TIMES.
OVERHEAD CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS (IF APPLICABLE)
This outdoor cooking gas appliance shall not be used under overhead
combustible construction.
A minimum clearance of 5 feet is required between the countertop and the non-
combustible construction above (Fig. 10-1).
SIDE AND REAR WALL CLEARANCES
For the minimum clearances between the grill and any side or rear walls,
your setup must fall within one (or more) of the following:
A. Clearance between grill and strictly non-combustible wall (i.e. brick wall,
see Fig. 10-2)
-
The grill must have a minimum of 4″ right, left, and rear clearance from any non-combustible wall. (To allow for proper ventilation and prevent dangerous overheating.)
B. Clearance between grill and a protected combustible wall (i.e. a non- combustible wall in front of a combustible wall to serve as a barrier. This can be accomplished by brick, or a metal stud fi nished with non-combustible substrate, see Fig. 10-3) -
The grill must have a minimum of 14″ right, left, and rear clearance from the protected combustible wall. (The 4″ non-combustible material plus an additional 10″ clearance between the grill and protected wall.)
C. Clearance between grill and combustible wall -
The grill must have a minimum of 18″ right, left, and rear clearance from any combustible wall (see Fig. 10-4).
BACKSPLASH CLEARANCE (IF APPLICABLE)
If a non-combustible backsplash exists, it must have a minimum of a 4″
clearance from the rear of the grill (to allow for proper ventilation and
prevent dangerous overheating). See Fig. 10-5. Important: This 4″ backsplash
clearance must fi rst be met prior to any non-combustible walls beginning
behind it. The control panel MUST remain removable for servicing (see PARTS
LIST).
ENSURE PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
COOLING AIRFLOW
Proper airfl ow (Fig. 11-1) MUST be maintained for the grill to perform as it
was designed. If airfl ow is blocked, overheating and poor combustion will
result. Do not block the 1″ (2.5 cm) front air inlet along the bottom of the
control panel or more than 75% of the cooking grid surface with pans or
griddles.
Note: The 1″ (2.5 cm) front air space also allows access to the drip
tray. EXHAUST REMOVAL
If the grill is installed under an overhead structure, it must be
constructed of non-combustible material. An exhaust hood is recommended. See
below. When using an exhaust hood:
The cooking grid area must be covered by an exhaust hood (with a vent) larger
than the cooking surface. Refer to manufacturer specifi cations. An exhaust fan
with a rating of 1,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) (472 liters per second) or
more may be necessary to effectively remove smoke and other cooking by-
products from the rea under the hood. RHP Vent Hoods are available, contact
your local dealer.
THIS UNIT MUST NOT BE LOCATED IN A FULLY ENCLOSED AREA OF ANY KIND.
GAS-SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
For natural gas or a household propane system, rigid ” (1.3 cm) or 3 / ” (1.9
cm) black steel pipe or local codeapproved pipe is required to conduct the gas
supply to the unit.
Contact your local gas supplier. Connect this pipe to the required
C.S.A.-approved stainless-steel fl ex connector (attached). An NPT adapter has
been provided for 1/2 4 ” pipe. DO NOT use a rubber hose within the grill
enclosure. Apply only joint compounds that are resistant to all gasses to all
male pipe fi ttings except fl are fi ttings.
Make sure to tighten every joint securely.
Note: If 1 /2″ (1.3 cm) pipe is used with natural gas, it should be no
longer than 20′ (6.1 meters).
Important: A shut-off valve (not included) in the gas line is required.
It provides for safety when the unit is not in use and for convenient
maintenance and repair. It must be installed within 6 feet of the unit. Use a
pipe joint compound resistant to all gasses on all male fi ttings except flare fi
ttings. CAUTION: Wind blowing into or across the rear oven lid vent (Fig.
11-2) can cause poor performance and/or dangerous overheating. Orient the
grill so that the prevailing wind blows toward the front of the grill (Fig.
11-3).

heat. Light the infrared burner following the LIGHTINGINSTRUCTIONS in this
manual or printed on thedrip tray. Follow these guidelines when operating the
Infrared burner:
-
DO NOT place food on the cooking grid until the IR burner glows orange (Fig. 26-3). Drippings are heated and evaporate instead of sticking to and impairing burner function.
-
For cleaning purposes; always leave your burneron (after cooking) for an additional 5 minutes, toallow for a burnoff period. This is important to keep your burner clean and operating properly.
As the burner is self cleaning (at full temperature);avoid the use of cleaners or abrasives. -
When not in use, always cover the infrared burner with the stainless-steel cover. This protects theburner from drippings (from other cooking), airborneparticles, and foreign objects (Fig. 26-2).
-
Do not strike or scratch the burner ceramic as it may chip, crack, or break (Fig. 26-2).
Note: Digital thermometer (if equipped) does not give accurate readings
for infrared burners.
Important: When grilling with the infrared burner, always place a cooking grid
above it.
The cooking grid must be removed for rotisserie cooking.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate your IR burner with the oven hood closed.
CAUTION: Never attempt to operate the IR burner with the protective cover
in place.
WARNING
Only handle the infrared burner cover when the unit is cold or with a well-
insulated long-handled tool or heat resistant gloves. Burner ceramic must be
protected with cover when burner is not in use. Drips and particles evaporate
before hitting infrared burner when cooking at the maximum setting. Note:
Flavor grids are not to be used with infrared burners.
To ensure proper operation, all infrared burners (back and main) must be
operated on the HI setting for a minimum of 10 minutes. Thereafter, the fl ame
may be lowered as desired.
CAUTION: Always monitor the infrared burner flame when operated on low, as
it may blow out in high-wind conditions.
ACCESSORIES
GRILL BRUSH (optional)
Purchase a Fire Magic® stainless-steel grill brush (sold separately) to keep
your grill cleaner. It comes with scraper for large particles and a
replaceable head with brass bristles for overall cleaning. THE COOKING GRID
LIFTER
Hold the grid lifter by gripping the center section with the prongs pointing
down (use an oven mitt or heavy glove if the grill is hot). Insert the notched
end of the grid lifter into the cooking grid, in front of the midway point
(front to back; Fig. 27-3), and central (left to right; Fig. 27-4). Twist the
grill lifter (clockwise or counterclockwise) so the handle is parallel to the
grill rods. This “seats” the spiked end of the grid lifter between two rods,
enabling you to safely lift out the grid. Lift slowly and adjust the grid
lifter, if necessary, for balance.
THE DRIP TRAY
The drip collection system allows you to brush or scrape excess dried residue
from the grilling area directly into the drip tray (see the DRIP TRAY section
for more information).
THE FLAVOR GRID(S)
Place each fl avor grid directly over a burner. The solid areas of the grid
should rest over the tabs found on the burner. See Fig. 27-5. The slightly
larger grids are designed to be placed over the outside burners, and the
slightly smaller grid(s) are designed to be placed over the interior
burner(s).
Note: This allows heat from the burners to be evenly distributed
throughout the cooking area. The fl avor grids heat and cool quickly, making
the grill very responsive to changes in heat from the burners. WARMING RACK
(if equipped)
The warming rack (Fig. 27-2) is packed separately.
To install the warming rack, lift the front of the rack up slightly and insert
the rack hangers into the two holes in the back of the inner oven hood. Then
lower the front of the rack into a level position to lock the rack in place.
To remove the warming rack, lift up on the front of the rack until the rack
hangers pull free from their supporting oles.
Note: Removing the warming rack before using the rotisserie will leave
more clearance for the meat being cooked. (if applicable)
FIRE MAGIC® DRIP TRAY The drip collector allows you to brush or scrape
esidue from the grill’s inner liner into the drip tray . Following the
manufacturers instructions and regular cleaning of the grill’s interior with
oven cleaner, will help to prevent grease fi res. Your grill includes a pack
of four (4) Fire Magic® drip tray liners (Fig. 28-1). For your convenience in
cleanup, place a liner into the drip tray before grilling.
To fi t a liner into the drip tray, pull out the tray and set it on a fl at,
level surface. Place the liner in the drip tray as shown in Fig. 28-2 and
carefully insert the tray back under the control panel. Note: Be sure that the
liner is properly placed into the drip tray. The front of the liner must fit
under the drip tray’s lighting instruction plate (see 28-3 detail).
After each use, wait for the grill to cool and carefully pull out the drip
tray to check it. When a liner is nearing full, carefully lift it out of the
drip tray, lifting with both hands to keep the tray level until it is safely
discarded. Then insert a new drip tray liner. Order more drip tray liners
through your local Fire Magic® dealer.
Note: The foil tray liner is also useful for setting on burners to cover
them and catch drippings directly during rotisserie only cooking.
Note: For models with match holders attached
Note: There are easy to follow lighting instructions etched onto the top
of the drip tray handle. inside the drip tray, place the match holder
CARE & CLEANING
APPLIANCE MUST BE COMPLETELY COOL WHEN CLEANING. DO NOT SPRAY ANY CLEANER OR
LIQUIDS ON THE APPLIANCE WHEN HOT.
The appliance must be cleaned as often as once a month (depending on use) to
prevent grease build-up and other food deposits.
INTERIOR THE BURNER PORTS AND CARRY-OVER PORTS/ SLOTS MUST BE KEPT CLEAN TO
ENSURE PROPER IGNITION AND OPERATION.
Remove the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions) and clean the ports and
slots as required. (For Fire Magic grills use Maintenance Kit part #MK-1.)
Also inspect and clean the burner inlet for insects and nests. A clogged
burner can lead to a fi re in the bottom of the appliance. The inside of the
appliance may be cleaned periodically with oven cleaner if desired. Follow the
oven cleaner instructions for proper use.
Be careful not to get oven cleaner on the outside surface of the appliance as
it can permanently damage the fi nish.
EXTERIOR
Stainless steel surfaces when exposed to temperatures produced by the grilling
process will change color. The stainless steel will change color from silver
to brown and blue. This can be removed by using stainless steel cleaner.
Clean your appliance by fi rst using grill cleaner to remove grease and dirt.
Always wipe with the grain (See Fig. 29-1). Next, use stainless steel cleaner
to restore the stainless steel color (Note: not for mirror fi nish). Finish by
wiping your appliance down using polish wipes. To clean any mirror fi nish (if
applicable), use a quality brand glass cleaner only, not any of the cleaners
mentioned above.
If your appliance is installed in a seaside (salt air) or poolside (chlorine)
location, it will be more susceptible to corrosion and must be
maintained/cleaned more frequently. Do not store chemicals (such as chlorine
or fertilizer) near your stainless steel appliance.
Due to the nature of stainless steel, surface iron oxide deposits may appear.
Do not be alarmed – these deposits are removable with stainless steel cleaner
through prompt and periodic maintenance. If not attended to promptly,
permanent pitting may occur.
By following these recommendations, you will enjoy the beauty and convenience
of your appliance for many years to come. PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE FROM THE
WEATHER

Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position and shut off the gas supply to the grill at the source(tank valve for propane units or gas line shut-off valve for natural gas units.)
-
Disconnect supply of external electrical power to the grill.
CAUTION: Wait for the grill, oven, lens, light bulb, and fi xture to cool before proceeding to the next step. -
Open the oven lid.
Important: Place one hand directly below the glass lens and prepare to catch it when it is detached. -
Carefully insert a standard fl at head screwdriver or thin plastic spatula between the glass lens and the stainless steel on which the light is mounted and gently pry the glass lens out in such a way that the stainless steel is not scratched (twisting the screwdriver handle, for instance). Catch the lens and set it safely aside.
Note: You may wish to take this opportunity to clean the lens with a standard household window cleaner and then dry it completely. -
Wearing a pair of gloves, reach into the fi xture, gently grab the bulb, and pull it straight out of the fixture so that the two pins at the base of the bulb come all the way out.
Important: Bulb is halogen. DO NOT TOUCH with bare hands. Oils from hands drastically reduce bulb life.
Note: It may be helpful to rock the bulb gently backward and forward while pulling it out. -
Inspect the old bulb for broken glass or filament.
Note: It may be benefi cial to test a suspect bulb in one of the other light fi xtures known to be working and turn the power back on to be certain the bulb is actually not working. -
Insert the new 12V / 10 watt halogen bulb into the socket so that both pins slide all the way into the two holes in the bottom of the socket.
-
Place the lens back into the fi xture opening with the curved cut-out on the bottom and snap it back into place.
CONVERT GAS TYPE / CHECK BURNER ORIFICES
CAUTION: Make sure the grill is at a safe temperature and isolated from
gas and electrical supplies before beginning.
For your safety, exercise caution, and make sure you have adequate hand
protection, such as gloves, when handling metal parts.
CONVERT LABEL
This grill comes from the factory confi gured for one type of gas as marked on
the label behind the control panel.
When the grill is converted, the label for the new gas (included at original
shipping) MUST be applied over the old label mentioned above.
CONVERT REGULATOR
The gas regulator, located behind the control panel, must be set for the type
of gas used to fuel the grill. To check the regulator setting, remove the cap
in the center of the regulator (Fig. 31-1, A). Holding the cap vertical (see
Fig. 31-1, B), the letters at the bottom of the plastic stalk indicate the gas
type for which the regulator is currently confi gured.
If the text on the bottom of the regulator stalk does not match the gas type
connected to the grill, remove the stalk from the cap, invert, and replace
into center of cap. Replace cap on the regulator, screwing down until snug.
CONVERT GAS ORIFICES
When converting the grill to a different gas type, each burner’s orifi ce must
be replaced with the corresponding orifi ce for the new gas.
See MODEL SPECIFICATIONS TABLE, Table 1 at the beginning of this document to
determine the proper orifi ce sizes for each burner.
See the following sections for details on orifi ce conversion.
Important: It is critical to the operation of each burner that its orifi
ce be fully inserted into the center of its orifi ce opening.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS OVERHEATING WILL OCCUR IF A NATURAL-GAS ORIFICE IS USED WITH PROPANE
GAS.
CONNECT TO NEW GAS SUPPLY
Plumb the unit as appropriate for the new gas supply.
(Additional components may be needed for your specific setup.) Be sure to leak
test at all connections.
CONVERT/CHECK MAIN BURNER ORIFICES
-
Remove the cooking grid and fl avor grid from above the burner you are working on and set them aside.
-
Remove the cotter pin from the left or right rear burner anchoring peg by pulling it straight out of the cotter pin hole using fi ngers or needle-nose pliers (Fig. 31-2).
-
Lift the back end of the burner out of the anchor peg holes, then move the burner toward the back of the grill to clear the gas inlet and set it aside.
CAUTION: THE BURNER IS HEAVY. -
Use a 3 ” hex nut driver to remove the exposed orifi ce (Fig. 31-3). Check orifi ce. If needed, replace it with the correct orifi ce for the new gas. / 8
-
Replace the burner by fi rst sliding the open cylindrical end of the burner around the orifi ce, enveloping it and centering on it, then lower the back end anchor pegs into the anchor peg holes.
Note: It is critical to the continued safe functioning of the burner that the orifi ce is centered and completely inside the burner gas inlet. -
Reinsert the cotter pin into the right rear burner anchor peg using fi ngers or needle-nose pliers.
-
Replace the fl avor grid and then the cooking grid so that the cut-out section is in front.
-
Repeat these steps for each main burner.
CONVERT/CHECK BACKBURNER ORIFICE (IF EQUIPPED)
-
Remove the warming rack if installed and set it aside.
-
Remove the backburner cover.
-
Unscrew all backburner access plate screws using
a Phillips-head screwdriver and set them aside. -
Remove the access plate by pulling the bottom toward the front of the grill and rotating it upward and outward until the two top tabs attached to back wall of the oven can be removed from the slots in the top of the plate.
-
Remove the backburner assembly retaining screw on the lower left of the backburner using a Phillips-head screwdriver and set it aside.
-
Pull out the wire from the igniter electrode (Fig. 32-2), then carefully remove the backburner by slightly sliding it to the left. CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the wires connected to the backburner assembly.
-
Use a 3/8 ” hex nut driver to remove the exposed orifice. Check orifice. If needed, replace it with the correct orifi ce for the new gas.
-
Replace the backburner assembly and reinsert the retaining screw. Center the backburner assembly so that the backburner plate will fi t over it. Tighten the retaining screw using a Phillips-head screwdriver.
-
Replace the access plate by fi rst inserting the tabs above into the slots in the top of the plate and then rotating the bottom downward and inward.
-
Replace all the access plate screws using a Phillipshead screwdriver.
BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Important: Air shutters are preset at the factory based on the gas the
grill is built to burn. However, altitude or other local conditions may
require air shutter adjustment for proper combustion.
MAIN BURNER
Flames from a properly adjusted main burner with no wind or breeze present
will appear fairly steady, consistent, and mostly blue. If the tip of a fl ame
were to turn orange, it should only do so briefl y and then become blue again.
The fl ames will appear to burn while touching the burner ports (see Figure
33-1).
If the fl ames have orange in them and appear to undulate slowly from side to
side, or if some of them appear to lift off the burner instead of touching it,
then adjust the air shutter, as instructed below. CAUTION: Turn all burner
control knobs to the OFF position and turn off the gas supply at the source
before removing or adjusting a burner.
WARNING
Wait for the burner to be cool or use heavily insulated heat-resistant gloves
when handling the burner.
- Follow the safety precautions and steps for main burner removal in the CHANGING THE MAIN BURNER ORIFICES section (steps 1-4).
- Adjust the air shutter opening by loosening the adjustment screw with a screwdriver, then sliding the air shutter backward or forward to open or close the air shutter opening (see Fig. 33-2).
Shutter Setting| Flame Condition
---|---
Open too far| Flames shorten and lift off the burner
Ideal setting| Blue flames just touching burner
Closed too far| “Lazy” flames with orange in them
Too large an air shutter opening will allow too much air into the burner,
which will cause the fl ames fi rst to shorten and then to appear to lift up off
the ports. For the bottom of the fl ames to move closer to the ports, close the
air shutter more.
If the air shutter opening is too small or closed, the fl ames will present
consistently orange tips and become “lazy,” slowly undulating back and forth.
For propane gas, ideal settings tend to be just lightly open. For natural gas,
which generally requires less primary air than propane, the main burner air
shutter may be nearly closed.
- Adjust the air shutter opening and then replace the burner (steps 6-8 in the CHANGING THE MAIN BURNER ORIFICES section).
- Follow the lighting instructions in this manual to light the burner.
- Repeat steps 1-4 until the fl ames appear to touch the burner ports, burning fairly steadily and mostly blue (see Fig. 33-1).
BACKBURNER (IF EQUIPPED)
The air shutter is set at the factory. However, altitude or other local
conditions may require air shutter adjustment for proper combustion. Flames
from a properly adjusted backburner will appear as a horizontal line of even
blue fl ames along the bottom of and behind the backburner grating. The grating
itself will glow red after it heats up.
Note: It is normal for the backburner to smoke when it is fi rst used. Burning
the backburner on HI LIGHT for approximately 15 minutes will eliminate the
smoking.
If, instead of being blue and even, the backburner flames appear to have orange
in them and waver slowly left and right, or if the fl ames appear to lift off
the burner, adjust the backburner air shutter by following the steps below.
The backburner air shutter adjustment is located behind the right side of the
access panel in the back of the oven, above the cooking grid.
Note: It is only necessary to remove the backburner back panel, not the
backburner, when adjusting the backburner air shutter.
-
Follow the safety precautions and steps for backburner back panel removal (steps 1-4) in the CHANGING THE BACKBURNER ORIFICE section.
CAUTION: The backburner air shutter can be safely adjusted with the backburner lit if it is adjusted using a long-handled screwdriver or well- insulated fi re and heat-resistant gloves. -
Adjust the air-shutter opening by loosening the adjustment screw with a screwdriver, then sliding the air shutter backward or forward to open or close the air shutter opening (see Fig 34-2). Watch the backburner flames while adjusting the air shutter.
Too large an air shutter opening will allow too much air into the burner, which will cause the fl ames fi rst to shorten and then to appear to lift up off the ports.
For the bottom of the flames to move closer to the ports, close the air shutter more.
If the air shutter opening is too small or closed, the fl ames will present consistently orange tips and become “lazy,” slowly wavering left and right. -
Continue adjustment until the flames appear to touch the burner ports, burning fairly steadily, consistently, and mostly blue (see Fig. 34-1), then retighten the backburner air shutter adjustment screw.
-
Replace the burner access plate (step 8 in the CHANGING THE BACKBURNER ORIFICE section).
CONTROL PANEL REMOVAL
