Adjusting the Surface Burner to the Low Flame (Simmer) Setting

  • Light all surface burners.

  • Turn the knob on the burner being adjusted to Lo.

  • Remove the knob.

  • Insert a small, flat-blade screwdriver with a minimum length of 3" (76.2 mm) and a diameter of 3/32" (2.4 mm) into the valve shaft.

    1. Valve shaft

    2. Center adjustment screw

  • Turn the screw to adjust.

    • Hold the valve shaft with one hand while turning the screw to adjust with the other.

  • Replace the knob.

  • Test the flame stability.

    • Test 1: Turn the knob from Hi to Lo quickly. If the flame goes out, increase the flame size and test again.

    • Test 2: With the burner on a Lo setting, open and close the oven door quickly. If the flame is extinguished by the air currents created by the door movement, increase the flame height and test again.

  • Repeat steps 1-7 for each surface burner.
