  If the burner flames on your Thor Kitchen Ranges are very large and yellow, the burner bezel ports may be clogged, burner ports or burner caps might not be positioned properly, the cooktop may be using the wrong type of gas, or the regulator could be faulty or set incorrectly. Try cleaning the burner bezel ring ports with a straightened paper clip, needle, or wire. Also, remove and carefully reinstall the burner bezel and caps. Ensure the cooktop matches the natural gas supply. Check the installation, replace the regulator, or set the regulator for the proper gas.
