The propane burner on your Frigidaire gas range controls the size of the flame while the burner is in use, and is configured by default to a 1-inch opening for a steady flame release. If the flame's size is too low or too high, adjust the burner's size by manually configuring the burner's valve steam. Once adjusted, the burner produces a larger or smaller flame based on the new setting for consistently even cooking speeds.
