Atwood AFMD35121 furnace

Furnace lights, but low heat output and exhaust exhaust soot.
Anyone know how to adjust air mixture?

From the Service Manual - SOOT (caused by lazy yellow flame)

LAZY FLAME (yellow)

High gas pressure - Set gas pressure to a minimum of 11” W.C. with all appliances running replace regulator, if not obtainable. Also, check main burner orifice, it must comply with furnace’s specifications

Burner out of adjustment Adjust burner according to furnace specification

Combustion wheel installed backwards or loose (warranty covered only when improperly installed at the factory)Reposition wheel and tighten

Air leakage at gaskets Replace gaskets

Low voltage Correct power supply

Great summary

To the OP, does your cook top appear to have the correct pressure with burners normal on high? If so LP pressure is correct and it is one of the above

Air most likely, could have a nest in the mixing tube

Take it apart and check it all out, noting the air mixture setting

Hey yeah, that is a good one that should be in the manual.
