First, the hose is used beyond the expiration date. Gas hoses have a service life, especially ordinary hoses, which are prone to aging and cracking. If they are too close to an open flame or rupture, resulting in gas leakage, it is easy to cause a fire and even risk deflagration. When using bottled liquefied gas, it should be inspected every 18 months. The hose and pressure reducing valve should be replaced in time to prevent air leakage. The length of the hose should not exceed 2 meters.
Second, improper storage. Spaces where gas is used especially need to have ventilation conditions. Once air leakage occurs, it can be discharged in time to avoid poisoning of personnel and fire. In addition, any space related to the use of gas must be isolated from bedrooms and rest rooms, and must have ventilation conditions.
The third problem is air leakage. Gas is originally invisible and colorless. In order to facilitate detection, gas is artificially odorized and has a special odor. Once a leak occurs, it is easily smelled. If you smell such a odor, you must first make sure the windows are open and check whether the gas stove, gas valve are closed. If there is still a smell after closing, contact the gas company staff for inspection as soon as possible. If the main valve is closed, air leakage cannot be prevented at home. Do not stay indoors, turn on or off lights, and do not use open flames until professionals arrive.
Fourth, flammable materials are close to the stove. For the convenience of cleaning, many people put a layer of plastic film on the range hood and replace it regularly to keep the surface of the range hood clean. However, they do not know that this is a very dangerous way. The plastic film is flammable and is located above the flame. , if it is ignited, the consequences will be disastrous. In addition to plastic film, do not place oil bottles, wine bottles, seasoning bottles and other common kitchen items around the gas stove, and do not place paper boxes, bamboo baskets and other items to prevent them from being close to high temperatures and causing a fire. In addition, when adjusting the flame of the gas stove, it is best not to let the flame extend beyond the bottom of the pot and avoid turning on too high a heat.
The fifth is to use Qi to separate from others. Some people use gas "extensively", finishing one dish and leaving the fire burning while preparing the next. As everyone knows, turning off the stove at this time is not only to save gas, but also for safety. Some people use the gas stove to cook but leave midway, leading to serious situations where a fire fails to be discovered in time or even burns down the house. When paying attention to kitchen safety accidents, you need to remember that people have to leave when using gas stoves to boil water and cook, let alone forget about the cooking in progress. Always adjust the flame to avoid gas leakage.
Sixth, the valve is always open. Fire prevention publicizes "Three Clearances and Three Closes", one of which is to close the main gas valve, including the valve of the liquefied gas cylinder. It should be opened when in use and closed when not in use, because it is the last and most critical insurance for gas safety, which can prevent pipeline damage from being discovered and gas leakage. Frequent use and switching of the valve can also keep the valve switch flexible and easy to use, avoiding rust, aging, and "falling off the chain" in an emergency.
Seventh, the gas company conducts door-to-door safety inspections every year, and will also make some safety suggestions based on the actual situation. For example, for regular maintenance of gas facilities, the grease on the surface of the gas stove must be cleaned, and the gas holes of the burner must be cleared. You can use thin metal wire or a toothbrush to clear them; although the liquefied gas cylinder is very strong, it has been exposed to oil fumes for a long time. Inside, a certain amount of grease will accumulate on bottles, valves, and hoses. These should also be cleaned regularly to prevent grease from adding to the fire when encountering an open flame, and also help to extend the service life.
