    Hello, is the color of the flames of the burners from the picture correct? After downloading the knob is only the adjustment of the burner saving, I have not seen the air regulation. I am asking for help in the subject, I do not know if it is suitable for regulation or to leave as it is. The natural gas supply, the floor below the stove has a perfect blue sharp flame.
    Where can you find the air regulation knob if it does occur?

    There is no adjustment, the burner construction produces a mix. Maybe the burner covers are already burned out?

    The stove is new. Burners and nozzles clean as a tear. I use 2 months. Are you sure that there is no air regulation in it? It is such an invention as in the picture.

    Now the color is worse. I'm surprised by the max. The lower floor is a cooker from the same company. Structurally the same. The flame is blue.

    Maybe you have mixed up nozzles in the burners? Or buy a new set of nozzles and replace - this is not the expensive event.

    I came up with a certain clue, namely, I use a nebulizer for a child who has a cold. I pour in a solution of water with salt bought in a pharmacy for inhalation. The fact that I use it 8metrow from the stove can testify to the ionized air spreading around the house. In the morning the flame is almost completely blue. I will follow the topic and let me know if the reason is just a nebuliser.

    The fumes of a sodium chloride solution floating in the air, generated by this inhaler. Sodium, as it is known, stains the flame in yellow - orange. :D

    Or you have gas pressure drops in the installation.

    The problem is solved, the reason is a nebulizer for children's inhalations which disperses cold salt mist in the air. To my surprise when I use it, the torch flame turns yellow. In the morning when it is not used, the flame is perfectly blue. Interestingly, the inclusion in the room located at a distance of 8 meters from the stove does not do the trick, air ionization is distributed throughout the apartment. If someone uses a nebulizer, moisturizer, ionizer in the apartment, unfortunately must take into account such an effect is visible for several hours. I hope to help someone with a similar problem, instead of regulating the equipment, analyze the topic.

    Probably yes, but on the forums people do not write about it so unnecessary nervousness

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the flame color of an Amica gas stove and the potential for air regulation of the burners. The user initially questions whether the flame color is correct, noting that the lower floor's stove produces a perfect blue flame. Responses suggest that the burner design may not allow for air regulation, and there are concerns about possible nozzle mix-ups. A unique insight reveals that the use of a nebulizer dispersing sodium chloride solution in the air affects flame color, turning it yellow due to the sodium content. The user confirms that when the nebulizer is not in use, the flame returns to blue, indicating that external factors can influence burner performance rather than equipment malfunction.

FAQ

TL;DR: Yellow flames on an Amica natural-gas stove were traced to saline aerosol from a child’s nebulizer—even from 8 meters away; “sodium… stains the flame in yellow–orange.” [Elektroda, mariopn, post #16827656]

Why it matters: If you’re troubleshooting off-color burner flames, check indoor aerosols and accessories before attempting gas adjustments. This FAQ is for homeowners asking how to fix yellow stove flames and where any air-regulation knob might be.

Quick Facts

Is a yellow flame on my Amica gas stove dangerous or just cosmetic?

Yellow indicates contaminants or incomplete mixing. In this case, saline aerosol from a nebulizer caused the color but not a hardware fault. Stop the aerosol source, ventilate, and confirm the flame turns crisp blue when air clears. If yellow persists without aerosols, call service. “Sodium… stains the flame in yellow–orange.” [Elektroda, Krzysztof Kamienski, post #16826564]

Where is the air regulation knob on Amica burners?

There isn’t one on this design. The burner injectors and venturi handle air–gas mixing internally. That means users cannot adjust primary air with a shutter. If combustion looks wrong, inspect for contamination sources or incorrect jets rather than trying to tweak air. [Elektroda, nares, post #16825764]

Can a nebulizer or humidifier really turn the flame yellow? How far away?

Yes. A child’s saline nebulizer discolored flames even when operating in a room about 8 meters from the stove. The effect lingered for several hours after use. Once the nebulizer was off and air cleared, the flame returned to blue. That shows aerosols can travel and affect combustion color. [Elektroda, mariopn, post #16827656]

How do I confirm the nebulizer is the cause and not the stove?

Run a quick A/B test: 1) Turn off and remove saline aerosol sources. 2) Ventilate for 30–60 minutes. 3) Recheck flame color on all burners. If blue returns and then yellows again when the nebulizer runs, the aerosol is the cause. “The flame is perfectly blue in the morning.” [Elektroda, mariopn, post #16827656]

Do Amica burners need cleaning if the stove is new but flames are yellow?

Not if the only change is indoor aerosol. A new Amica with clean burners and jets can still show yellowing due to airborne saline. Verify cleanliness, then remove aerosol sources and ventilate. If the flame stays yellow afterward, proceed to jet and pressure checks. [Elektroda, mariopn, post #16825788]

Could incorrect or mixed nozzle jets cause poor flame quality?

Yes. Mixed or wrong-size jets can distort mixing and flame shape. If you suspect a mismatch, install a correct, complete set for your gas type (e.g., NG vs LPG) and retest. Incorrect jets are a common, low-cost fix. [Elektroda, mychaj, post #16826102]

What if my gas pressure drops—will that change flame color?

Pressure dips can weaken the flame and alter combustion. If yellowing occurs without aerosols and after verifying the jets, ask your gas provider or a licensed tech to check supply pressure and regulators. Record times to catch intermittent drops. [Elektroda, mychaj, post #16826593]

What does a ‘correct’ natural-gas flame look like?

A correct flame is steady, mostly blue, with defined inner cones, minimal yellow tips, and no lifting or roaring. In the resolved case, morning flames were “perfectly blue” once aerosols cleared, confirming normal operation. [Elektroda, mariopn, post #16827656]

Is there a quick 3-step how-to to restore a blue flame when using a nebulizer?

  1. Run the nebulizer away from the kitchen and close the kitchen door. 2. After treatment, ventilate the kitchen for at least 30 minutes. 3. Recheck flame color; resume cooking when blue returns. This sequence resolved the issue. [Elektroda, mariopn, post #16827656]

Could burner caps or covers be defective on a new stove?

Unlikely, but inspect alignment and seating. In the thread, the stove and nozzles were new and clean, yet yellowing appeared only with aerosol use. That points to air quality rather than defective caps. Re-seat parts and retest after ventilation. [Elektroda, mariopn, post #16825788]

What is a burner nozzle (jet) in this context?

A nozzle (jet) is the small orifice that meters gas into the burner’s venturi. Its size must match the fuel (NG or LPG). Wrong jets change flow rate and flame characteristics; a matched set restores proper combustion. [Elektroda, mychaj, post #16826102]

Why does salt specifically color the flame yellow?

Sodium ions emit light that appears yellow–orange when excited in a flame. Even trace sodium from saline mist can dominate emission color. As one expert put it, “Sodium… stains the flame in yellow–orange.” [Elektroda, Krzysztof Kamienski, post #16826564]

How long can aerosol effects last after I stop the nebulizer?

Reported duration was several hours before the flame returned fully blue. Duration varies with room volume, ventilation, and aerosol load. Improve airflow to shorten the clearing time and prevent reaccumulation in the kitchen. [Elektroda, mariopn, post #16827656]

Should I adjust anything on the gas valve to fix yellow flames?

No. Do not alter valve settings on a domestic stove. This model lacks a user air-adjustment. Focus on removing aerosol sources, confirming correct jets, and checking supply pressure if needed. Call service if yellow persists. [Elektroda, nares, post #16825764]

What’s an edge case that still needs a technician?

If flames stay yellow with no aerosols, correct jets, and good ventilation, you may have supply issues or hidden blockages. A licensed technician should measure manifold pressure and inspect regulators and venturi passages. [Elektroda, mychaj, post #16826593]
