If the burner does not ignite, check if the burner cap is properly aligned. Ensure the burner ports are clean and free from debris. Verify that the igniter is sparking. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
To adjust the flame, locate the air shutter on the burner tube. Loosen the screw and adjust the shutter to increase or decrease air flow, which will affect the flame size. Ensure the flame is steady and blue, then retighten the screw.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the burner components, checking the igniter function, inspecting gas connections for leaks, and ensuring the flame is blue and stable. Perform a deeper clean seasonally or as needed based on usage.
A yellow flame usually indicates incomplete combustion. Check if the burner ports are clogged. Adjust the air shutter to ensure proper air mixture. If the issue continues, it might indicate a gas pressure problem, requiring professional assessment.
To check for gas leaks, mix a solution of water and dish soap. Apply it to the gas connections and turn on the gas supply. Look for bubbles which indicate a leak. If bubbles form, turn off the gas supply immediately and contact a professional.
Popping sounds can occur due to misaligned or dirty burner parts. Check the burner cap and ports for alignment and cleanliness. Ensure the air mixture is correct by adjusting the air shutter. Persistent issues should be evaluated by a technician.
