I just installed a new gas cooktop to replace our old one. It is a GE
JGP336BEDBB 30 inch Glass cooktop. I got it installed and everything
seems to be working well, but I am concerned about some yellow flames.

If I turn it on without anything sitting on the burner it has periodic
yellow flickers. If I sit something on the burner like a tea kettle
it has more yellow flames. From reading the installation instructions
I should have no yellow flames at all. Did I do something wrong? Is
this normal? Does it need to be fixed?

BTW: this is Natural Gas

thanks

Not enough air or sodium will cause the flame to turn yellow. Dirty
vent holes may cause a yellow flame, but yours is new. Is there black
soot on the bottom of the kettle? Does the flame turn yellow when the
hood fan is on? Have you contacted GE customer support?
