Gas hob burner has an orange flame

Anonymous user 3 March 2024 - 3.15 PM

Hi I noticed that my Bosch gas job burner had more orange than blue flames yesterday. I cleaned everything up and dried and then tested later and it was back to blue. This morning it has gone orange again on all the burners. I would be grateful if someone could advise please. Do I need to get gas engineer out to have a look? I've had a carbon monoxide alarm next to it and it hasn't beeped. Thanks YG Update: thanks for all the answers. What I have noticed over the last week is that the flame is orange first thing in the morning and then it becomes blue over the course of the day!!? I have cleaned everything even the iron cast plates etc. What could be the cause of that.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
