How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off gas. Do not operate burners with abnormal flames.

  • Clean and reseat: Clean burner heads and caps, then ensure caps are correctly seated.
  • Check air inlets: Inspect the air shutters or inlets under the hob for dust or grease; clean as needed.
  • Verify gas type: Confirm the range is jetted for your gas type (natural gas vs LPG). If recently converted or installed, have a gas-safe technician verify injectors and pressure.

Persistent yellow or lifting flames require professional adjustment to avoid carbon monoxide risk.
