Cleaning Hob.

[zippy]

Anyone know how you clean the smev cooker? Got yellow flames, deff need some servicing.

Pm gasy he will set you on the right track

[Gasy]

It will have a blocked air intake somewhere below the flame
Oven or hob ?
Just give the burners a good clean
Clean with tooth brush and hot soapy water
I use a gas torch flame to get them hot and then a brass brush to clean all the burner groves and holes
Oven burners can usually be removed might be held in with 1 screw
Will prob be grease from cooking
Don't stick anything down the injector hole though

If your not sure leave it alone and get it serviced

Hob, I think it's bad gas or regulator.

I stripped them and the valves / injectors where nice and clean. Zero tarnish on them.

I get blue on low and yellow on max. On both hobs.

Suppose it could be a oily hose from age, how to you remove the hob completely / replace hose?

[Gasy]

Won't be the hose
Could be regulator but doubt it
Does it do it all the time
If it's a flickering yellow flame might be reg
Sounds like it needs a service

Sure your not out of gas

[Simon Jones]

As you're giving it a bit of a service, check the date on the hose as the normal recommendation is to replace it when it gets to five years old.

[zippy]

How do you remove the hob?

So I can access the hose.

I'll check for flickering.

Usually fixings under work top

[Simon Jones]

With Smev, you typically have a series of screws on the top around the edge. Pop the plastic screw covers off to reveal cross head screws . Undo these a few turns and the L-shaped that hook under the counter top can be swung out the way so it lifts up. Be careful as it may have been siliconed in place to prevent spillages getting underneath.

well it's copper piped to the very back of the bongo.

I'm just going to clean the edge under the cooker bowl, and screw back down.

Is there a legal size the drop-out has to be for gas? I was going to run the external pipe out and to the tow bar.
