The safety of gas is critical to thousands of households. How to prevent risks, eliminate hidden dangers, and contain accidents, look at the gas safety class.
Question 1: How to use gas stoves safely?
Answer: When using gas, it must be supervised and air circulation must be maintained in all seasons. In order to prevent the flame from being extinguished by the soup or blown out by the wind, please use a safety stove with an automatic flameout protection device.
The hose connecting the cooker should use a special gas hose, and the interface should be fastened with a clip, preferably a metal hose. Always check whether the hose connecting the stove is flattened, aging, and whether the clamp is installed properly. The hose should not be used for more than two years.
For safety reasons, two types of gas and fire sources cannot be used in the same kitchen. For example, if you use piped gas, you cannot store liquefied gas tanks at the same time.
When using gas, the windows in the kitchen should be opened to maintain good air circulation. After using the gas, before going to bed, and when going out, close the gas valve. It is not allowed to connect or modify gas equipment by oneself. Places equipped with gas equipment cannot be used as bedrooms.
Question 2: What should the residents do when they receive a gas stop notice or discover a sudden stop?

Also immediately turn off the gas appliance switch, do not open the gas appliance and wait for the incoming gas to prevent gas leakage. Before going to bed, before going out and after use, we also need to check the gas appliance switch to make sure it is off.
