Check and Adjust the Burners The burners are tested and factory-set for most efficient operation. However, variations in gas supply and other conditions may make minor adjustments to air shutter or low flame setting necessary. 5. Remove the 2 screws that hold the burner in place. Remove gas burner from the grill. It is recommended that a qualified person make burner adjustments. NOTE: The rotisserie burner cannot be adjusted. Checking and adjusting the grill burner flames requires removing the grate and sear plates. Burner Flame Characteristics A A. 2 screws The flames of the grill burners and side burners (on some models) should be blue and stable with no excessive noise or lifting (LP gas flames will have a slightly yellow tip). A yellow flame indicates not enough air. If flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner, there is too much air. Some yellow tips on flames when the burner is set to HI setting are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear. 6. If flame is yellow (not enough air), turn air shutter adjustment screw counterclockwise. If flame is noisy or lifts away from burner (too much air), turn air shutter adjustment screw clockwise.
