Default flueless gas fire

So if you have one of these and put a de humidifier on it, do you get free
water?

Hello,


I've moved into a house with a wall-hung flue less gas fire. I haven't
had one of these before. I'm off to buy a CO detector but in the
meantime, can you tell me about these? What colour is the flame
supposed to be? When I light this it has a yellow flame. I thought
this was supposed to be a bad thing as I thought yellow meant it was
not burning completely. However there are no signs of soot above the
fire nor inside it and pictures I have found of similar fires on
google show yellow flames too. I guess if the flames burnt pale blue,
people would not see the flames, so they wouldn't look as pretty. Do
ukdiy-ers vacuum the fire once a year like you may do to your boiler
or is it best to leave it to a gas safe person. I'm sure the CO alarm
will reassure me, just wanted to hear some opinions in the meantime.


I installed one of these in our previous house in the 1960s. I have a
feeling they are now illegal.


Wrong.
