The combustion quality of the flame for each burner
must be visually inspected. For propane, the flame
should be blue with yellow tips. For natural gas, it
should be soft blue in color. The flame should carry over,
or surround, the entire burner and should not lift or
blow off the burner.
To inspect, turn the burner on. See figure on this side for
appropriate flame characteristics.
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that
the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment,
retest. If any of the burners continue to burn mostly or
completely yellow, call Bosch service 800-944-2904.
