The gas is notjurned. directly into the burner, as many suppose, T ' : but undergoes a process of mixing and com- w 1 r m J bining with a certain amount of air in the air chamber.:. These two, gas and air, then pass , to the burner. . This process adds to the heat , units and changes , the gas, tinder proper, ad- justment, from.a yelloV flame, as seen in the . open tip, to the blue Bunseii flame. To ob liain this result (the Bunsen flame) the proper proportion of air must combine with the right tT proportion of gas. T AH GAS RANGES should Jiave adjustable Valves. To prevent the gas . from popping or lighting back in the air mixer the shutter should be CLOSED a trifle; in ..case of a yellow flame it should be OPENED. t If the .flame, burns red it indicates burner is ' , dirty or that moisture has. settled on it,, and "V in .either; case it should. be CLEANED. An essential point in the success . of the GAS RANGE is to KEEP IT CLEAN AT ALL TIMES, ESPECIALLY THE BUTJirr. When any part of the burner or range becomes dirty or covered with grease it "air.:! J scalded m hot water ana lye. A gas range properly, connected should have a vent c: tion with the chimney, with a damper to coritro' the heat in the oven. .
