Noisy or Yellow Flames - Gas Cooktop

Possible Solutions

Flames are noisy/yellow:

Compare the flame to the illustrations below. If the flames look like A:

  • A burner port (hole) may be clogged.  
  • Check to be sure the burner caps are positioned correctly.
  • If LP (propane) gas is being used, the cooktop may have been converted improperly, call for service. 
Normal and abnormal surface burner flame

Does the flame need to be adjusted? 

A proper flame should be a soft blue (Natural Gas) or blue with slightly yellow tips (LP Gas). If the flames are not the right color, too high or too low, the flame may need to be adjusted. 

Refer to the installation instructions for directions on adjusting the flame height.
