Noise.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Ensure the burner parts have been placed correctly.
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure the other gas appliances such as central heating or gas fires are working.
Due to the design of the burner the flame can appear to be orange/yellow (flame disturbance) in certain areas of the burner this is a natural occurrence.
Check that the burner is dry and that food spillage or cleaning fluids are not present on the burner. This can be dried with a cloth and stubborn marks cleaned away with a dry nylon brush (old toothbrush etc.)
It is natural for the burners to emit noise as the gas is being drawn through the burner and may reduce as they heat up.
This is a natural occurrence when the burner is alight and does not affect the performance of the burner.
It is normal for some metal parts on the cooker to produce noise when in use, this is due to expansion and contraction when heating up and cooling down.
