Check youe installation manual, or downlowd one from the Amana website. Page 9, Low Flame Adjustment (for propane) or page 10, Reset the Valves for Natural Gas, explain how to adjust the flame height. It is easy, just be certain not to get carried away with how hard you crank on the screws: all hold small pieces in place or are for adjustment, not holding major structure together.

    I'm unable to find a screwdriver small enough that also has a shank long enough to adjust this screw.

    Can you direct me to a source? For our stove the shaft has got to be skinny for a least 1.5 inches, with a diameter no larger than about 0.075".

    ummm, im sure lowes home improvement store. definatly at sears , they would have a skinny enough screw driver.

  • tcmeyers Jun 08, 2011

    aborcass, thanks for the reply.

    There's not a Lowes or Sears nearby, but I did try HomeDepot. They had long enough but too fat, or skinny enough but too short. I don't know if this Amana model is extra-deep, but I'm facing this silly problem. I guess I'll just grind down the sides of the small screwdriver that is long enough so that it can go in the hole. Wish me luck. Thanks again.

How can I adjust the flame on the simmer burner to be lower? It seems to be too much flame for a simmer. Otherwise cook top is working great.
Hi,
Where the gas comes into the stove, there is a regulator. Have a service person check the incomeing gas pressure after the regulator with a manometer. Sounds like you are getting too much gas pressure to the range.

The flame is too high on my GE Profile gas cooktop
I had the same issue on my jgp975 and sadly I had to purchase a different unit. I use simmer frequently and I made the assumption that low was simmer. Wrong. I believe a true simmer is 450 btu and my unit did not go that low. I had to check the fine print/specs page and on some units the manufacturer had to be called. I did replace with another ge profile that did have the low setting.

Extra low burner that won't ignite
Lowly what the potentior does is turn on the burner control system. When you turn on a normal burner you are opening a gas valve and closing a switch to generate a spark. Thus gas flow to the burner and spark. On the extra low simmer burner there is a electric solenoid between the burner head and the gas valve. this has to open as well for gas to flow. What the potentior does is signal the simmer control what level of flame you are requesting and telling the spark module to generate a spark. Once you go to the exlow setting the potentior tells the simmer control what level of heat and will cycle the flame on and off. So when the burner knob was between low and extra low, the flame would cycle on and off. You have to seperate the top section of the cooktop from the burner box to change the potentior for it sits on top of the gas valve for that burner.

Creda 4 burner, converted to LP
Your flame is perfect if it's just the very tip that is yellow or white. All burners should be adjusted this way, on highest flame.
