Be cautious when igniting. If the gas stove cannot ignite normally, you can follow the steps below to troubleshoot:
Check the battery power: First confirm whether the gas stove battery is exhausted. If it is out of power, replace the battery in time to solve the problem.
Clean the ignition electrode: If the ignition electrode is covered with oil or dirt, it will affect the ignition effect. At this time, you need to clean the ignition electrode to ensure smooth ignition.
Be sure to keep the kitchen air circulating when cooking. Especially in winter, it is easy to close doors and windows due to the cold weather. This may lead to insufficient indoor oxygen and increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Therefore, you need to open the windows when cooking to ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated.
It is strictly forbidden to leave the kitchen during cooking to prevent soup from overflowing and extinguishing the flame. If you need to leave for a long time, you must strictly follow the principle of “people leave, fire extinguished, valves closed”. In addition, it is recommended to use gas appliances equipped with safe flameout protection devices to improve safety from the equipment level.
It is forbidden to hang objects or pull ropes on gas pipelines. Such behavior may cause the pipeline bracket to loosen and the structure to deform, which will destroy the sealing of the interface and cause the risk of gas leakage.
Household combustible gas detector: Real-time monitoring of gas concentration in the environment. When the leakage concentration reaches or exceeds the preset safety value of the gas alarm, it will remind the user to take measures in the form of sound and light alarm.
Pipeline self-closing valve: It has the function of automatic cut-off for overpressure, underpressure and overcurrent. When the pipeline pressure is abnormal or the hose falls off and causes abnormal airflow, it can automatically block the gas.
Gas-specific metal hose: Compared with traditional rubber hoses (with a lifespan of only 18 months), metal hoses have a service life of more than 8 years, and have the advantages of anti-rat bite, corrosion resistance, and threaded connection that is not easy to fall off. It has replaced rubber hoses as standard configuration.
Leaks can be checked by multiple methods of “looking, smelling, listening, and measuring”:
Smell: Odorizers are added to the gas. If you smell a smell similar to rotten eggs, it may be a gas leak.
Listen to the sound: If you hear a “hissing” sound when using gas, it means there may be a gas leak.
Look at the pointer: When not using gas at all, check whether the number in the red box at the end of the gas meter or the pointer moves. If it moves, it can be judged as a gas leak.
Bubble method: Apply soap solution to the gas pipe, gas meter hose, plug switch and other places that are prone to gas leakage. If bubbles are generated, it means that there is a gas leak in this part.
Use a gas leak alarm: The household gas alarm can monitor the leakage concentration of natural gas in real time. When the gas leakage concentration reaches the set value, the instrument will send out an audible and visual alarm signal to remind people to take emergency measures immediately.
VII. Summary of safe gas use
Gas safety is related to the safety of family life and property. It is recommended to conduct regular self-inspection, replace old facilities in time, and install protective devices such as gas alarms. Only by integrating safety awareness into daily operations can we eliminate hidden dangers from the source and protect home safety.
