And a slight acceptance of the condition as being normal for a gas fuel burning appliance also. A picture or two, if at all possible, of the burner flames in operation for that situation described and/or condition described would be helpful. If there is any doubts, suggestion and recommendation would be to have a qualified service tech service the entire appliance to ensure proper operation. An occasional smell that may seem to be gas may not actually be gas nor a result of the ovens burner adjustment. Slightly closing that air shutter will soften up the flames so they burn softer and closer to the burner but should never cause the flames to burn yellow or yellow tipped.īest to leave shutter fully opened unless you know exactly what you're doing. In most cases the air shutter should be fully opened as you initially found it. Nor should the flames be lifting off the burners tube nor making any type of blowing or roaring sounds nor be yellow in color. The flames actually should not extend beyond one inch before the side ends of the plate (Flame Spreader) above the burner tube. If the burner flames for the oven do not reach past the ends of the flame spreader above them, they are the correct size. Would a picture of the spread flame help? Now, how does this apply when looking at the very "spread apart" flame coming from the oven's long flash tube/burner? If the flame is high or makes a roaring noise, it's getting too much air and you should close the plate slightly. To allow more air in, open the plate slightly. IE: "If the flame is yellow, it's not receiving enough air. The question I have is, do you adjust the oven gas valve based on the same principles as the range burner valves? I ran it over the gas line connection points slowly too. Sound reasonable?įYI - I have purchased a gas leak detector and used it last night while everything was OFF on the oven/range and it detected no leaks everywhere I put it. We are smelling a natural gas smell in various parts of the house after using the oven and as everything else is connected very well and has been recently thoroughly cleaned up, I can only surmise that this "extra gas" is being released from the air shutter in the oven's gas valve. When I went to work on this oven a few weeks ago I noticed (before I knew what the air shutters were) that the air shutter for the oven gas valve is open all the way. It too has an air shutter on it like the range valves do. So, onto the hot start ignition flame (using a hot start flat bar ignitor) for the oven itself. I got to thinking about it and the faster the flame ignites on the range burners, then that means the less natural gas that is dispersed into the air of the kitchen/house. I have readjusted the gas/air shutters for the range gas valves so that they come on as fast as possible, while still (mostly) showing blue flame tips (a yellow one pops up every few seconds or so, but 95% of the time the flames are blue). Recently using this forum I was educated that I have a hot start ignition oven/range.
