How to use the gas stove correctly

1. Correct installation environment: In order to ensure the normal and safe use of the gas stove, the gas stove should be placed on a fire-resistant stove with a height of 600-700 mm. To ensure the smooth air flow in the kitchen, the kitchen should have an external vent. To ensure the combustion thermal efficiency of the stove and prevent the flame from being blown out by the wind and causing accidents, the stove should be installed in a windproof place. The kitchen should maintain a good ventilation environment, otherwise there will be insufficient oxygen during combustion, which will be particularly gas-consuming. You can judge whether it is fully burned by observing the color of the flame. If the flame is blue-purple, it means that the combustion is sufficient, and if it is red-yellow, it means that there is a lack of oxygen.

2. Adjust the air door: Before using all gas stoves, you must pay attention to adjusting the air door size to make the burning flame appear blue-purple cone and the flame stable. If the air door is too large, there will be too much air, the fire will not be easy to ignite or "flame out", and if the air door is too small, it is easy to produce incomplete combustion and appear red and yellow flames.

3. Correct ignition: When igniting a gas stove, first press the button to rotate and ignite. After the flame appears, do not release it immediately. Press the switch for at least 2 seconds before releasing it. Only then will the gas start to burn normally. When using the stove, you must "wait for the gas before the fire", that is, ignite first and then turn on the gas. This is safe. On the contrary, if you turn on the gas first and then ignite, the gas will flow into the air first and reach an explosive concentration. It will cause an explosion when it encounters fire. This is very dangerous, so you must "wait for the gas before the fire".

4. Correctly adjust the flame: When adjusting the flame with the stopcock, be sure to turn it slowly and avoid opening and closing it suddenly to prevent damage. When cooking, pay attention to the fact that the flame is not as big as possible. It should be adjusted according to the size of the pot. Generally, it is best to adjust it so that the flame distribution area is level with the bottom of the pot. "Always adjust the flame. When the food is cooked, turn down the flame in time to maintain the flavor and save about a quarter of the gas consumption. If you are stewing soup, you can boil it with high heat first and then cook it with low heat."

5. Regular maintenance: After using the stove, keep the stove surface clean. The fire holes on the burner of the gas stove are easily blocked by porridge, vegetable soup, medicine juice, dust and other dirt, so they should be cleaned in time. Clean and unclog the vents on the stove burner regularly to prevent blockage. The thermocouple should be polished with fine sandpaper frequently to remove the oxides accumulated on the thermocouple or stains that affect heat transfer, so as to keep the stove clean, the gas unobstructed, and keep it in good working condition.

6. Regular inspection: Contact the local gas company to regularly inspect the stove. The gas company will provide free on-site safety inspection services every year. Use gas metal bellows to replace the traditional clip-on rubber hose to avoid the defects of rubber hoses that are easy to fall off, easy to age, easy to be bitten by insects, and have a short service life. After the gas stove is burned for a long time, the stove temperature is high. Prevent dripping of cold water to prevent the paint on the stove from falling off.

How to prevent gas stove leakage

1. The hose connected to the gas source must be a special rubber hose for gas and may not be replaced by an ethylene plastic hose.

2. The interface hose connecting the gas source and the gas stove inlet end must be properly matched with the metal pipe. If the hose is found to have cracks, it should be replaced immediately.

3. After extinguishing the fire, carefully check whether the fire is extinguished and whether the main switch of the gas valve is closed. If it is not closed, gas will leak over time.

4. Check the interface hose regularly to ensure that it is not damaged. Otherwise, if there is gas leakage during the use of the gas stove, you will smell a smell of gasoline.

5. If the interface hose is broken, it must be replaced in time. Never continue to use it, otherwise it will cause serious consequences and you will regret it.

How to prevent the gas stove from automatically shutting down

1. After using the gas stove for a period of time, there will be a lot of oil on the surface. If the oil blocks the fire hole, it will easily cause a malfunction. Therefore, if you want to prevent it, you should first clean the gas stove regularly to prevent foreign objects from blocking the fire hole.

2. If the gas stove is used frequently, the battery will run out of power quickly. In order to avoid malfunctions caused by battery failure, it is necessary to replace it regularly. It is recommended to replace it every six months or a year.

3. After cleaning the gas stove, check whether the important parts are damaged. If you need to disassemble it for inspection, it is best to master the disassembly method first.

4. The gas stove thermocouple is very important. You should pay attention to its maintenance and try not to let it age too quickly. At the same time, check whether the thermocouple is damaged at regular intervals and replace it immediately if necessary.

5. At home, every time you use the gas stove, you must follow the correct method. Never leave the kitchen with the gas stove on, otherwise water will extinguish the flame and wet the internal parts, which can easily cause damage.
