I have a Smeg butane cooker at home that produces a flame that is a bit yellowish at the tip, not fully light blue as it was before. The bottom of the pots are stained with black marks.

How can I fix this? Thanks, Antonio

Sounds as though the flame is being starved of air. Check around the
jet to make sure that the air holes are clear. This could be a problem
as gas burning with insufficient air can produce carbon monoxide.. When
was the last time it was serviced?

The house is five years old. I don't know if the cooker has ever been serviced. It has been used little though, it shows.

All the air holes are clear and there is little dirt throughout. What can a service do that I cannot do?

Dismantle and clean, take measurements. Perhaps the butane flow rate is
too high.
