Gas heater problems....Andy B

   Well I shouldn't be getting CO as it's room sealed. The flame is inside a large metal chamber so it's gotta be the flue not providing air....I just left it running a few minutes and the flame is ORANGE!!!!!
I presume the soot is because it's overheated or something...
If my batteries last I'll get you some pics.

	It's analogue, with just the last digit red.... Heres a couple of pics. What I meant about the black on the outside is that the flame is sealed so the soot shouldn't get onto the outside....

	I think it must have been ready for turning over on the red digit because we've had the gas fire on for a while and the heater for a few mins extra too and it's still showing... Come to think of it, the gas fire is burning a bit orange aswell. The upstairs wall heater seems fine though...
