Brilio.net - Blue is the normal color for a gas stove flame. A change in the color of the flame to predominantly red indicates a problem because red flames have a lower temperature than blue flames. This condition can cause gas waste due to longer cooking times, as well as increase the risk of food burning.
Several factors can cause the flame color to change from blue to red, one of which is the accumulation of dirt on the inside or head of the stove. Cleaning the stove is the first step needed to return the flame color to blue.
On a new or cleaned stove, a flame that is still red indicates an imbalance between the gas and air mixture in the stove. This situation indicates the need for adjustments to certain parts of the stove.
A tutorial on how to set a stove to produce blue flames has been shared by a TikTok user. According to the explanation, adjustments need to be made to the adjustment plate which is usually located at the back of the gas stove knob or button .
"Here's How to Set It, So That the New Stove Has a Blue Flame," he said as quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok/@berbagidunia on Friday (6/12).

The shape of the wind control is usually like a handle that can be slid to the left and right. To adjust it, turn on the stove first. Then, reach the wind control plate through the bottom of the stove. Then change the position of the wind control plate.

Slide it left or right slowly and keep doing it until the flame looks blue again. If the flame is already blue, don't stop sliding the visible adjustment plate because the position is right.

The method is easy, right? But there are still many people who know this method. TikTok user @berbagidunia also added, if this trick doesn't work, it means the stove has other problems or there are parts of the stove that need to be replaced. please go to a stove service center first.
