Gas Oven - Burning orange flame?

chantelle87_2

Hi,
I am slightly concerned with my little gas oven.

Its a great oven to cook in although you usually have to put it up an extra gas mark to cook things....but i have new seal coming as i think heat escaping might be the problem...but ...

in the main oven at the back where the flames are there is this little line (possibly flint) i am not sure...but when the oven is on it now burns orange instead of blue??? COuld that mean i need a new flint or whatever it is??? I am a little concerned as i've always been told a blue flame is a good flame and an orange one is bad...

I have checked i havent left any cleaner on it or there is no food on it..so i am baffled!

Could anyone shed some light on this please?

Thanks
