If you smell gas while you haven’t turned on the stove, it’s likely that the valve is broken, the gas line is leaking, or the gas line is incorrectly connected. In case the gas smells strong, snow around the tank, the room temperature increases, quickly open the ventilation door, especially do not light a fire or turn on/off electrical equipment, it’s best to disconnect the power source remotely, then quickly get out, call a repairman to check and handle it.
The red flame from a gas stove can blacken the bottom of the pot, having effects on your cooking. This is usually due to the gas running out, dirty nozzle, unclean cooking utensils, gas cylinder valve opening too little, gas cylinder about to run out or impurities. It is necessary to check and clean the entire stove and gas cylinder, this phenomenon will be improved.
If you hear the gas stove’s flame making a popping sound, it is very likely that your gas tank is leaking or the gas valve is not properly installed, or the fire vent is clogged. After adjusting the position of the fire vent and cleaning the fire vent, if this noise still exists, it is advisable to call a technician to check and repair it.
In case your gas stove does not catch fire, the flame burns abnormally, and there is a smell of gas escaping, immediately turn off the stove, unscrew the cylinder valve, and check whether the flame divider is misaligned or damaged, and clean the electric spark plug of the stove. If you cannot handle it yourself, it is safest to call a repairman to check.
– When you choose a gas cylinder, choose a genuine, reputable dealer to avoid counterfeit goods.
– Choose a cylinder that is intact, not dented, has good paint, or is not peeling or rusting.
– When replacing a gas cylinder, do not use or operate equipment that can generate sparks nearby, such as lighting a lighter or starting a motorbike.
– Check the tightness of the gas cylinder and gas line with soapy water, both in the open and closed state.
– The kitchen cabinet should not be sealed, but must be left open in order that gas leaks can be smelled.
– Limit gas leakage into the pipeline or pipes connecting to the outside.
If there is a pipe in the kitchen connecting to the outside, when there is a gas leak in the house, the gas can spread to the street, and if it meets an electric spark, it can burn back inside.
When you finish using, turn off the cylinder valve, not just turn off the stove, because there are cases where the homeowner is away all day, the mouse bites the gas line without knowing.
If your gas cylinder uses a screw valve, when opening, just turn it 1-2 turns (a little loose), that’s enough.
After 3-5 years of use, you should replace the gas line.
