The right hand shutter controls the front half. Access to air shutters on the surface burner cartridge may be found through openings on the bottom of the cartridge housing. Slide air shutters backward or forward to increase or decrease the size of the air opening. Air shutters fit snugly, so a screwdriver blade or needle nose pliers may be required to make this adjustment (see illustration). Observe change in flame appearance as the air shutter is moved.
