How to use gas safely and matters needing attention

From late winter to late winter, because the weather is very cold in northern cities, many residents and users habitually seal their windows to ensure the indoor heating temperature. What needs to be reminded here is that no matter how cold the weather is, we can't forget the common sense of gas related to family safety. The common sense of gas safety that we need to remember is as follows:

1. Pay attention to window ventilation when using gas.

The density of natural gas is lighter than air, and it is easier to form a closed space after leakage, because the winter weather will cause people's sense of smell and action to be slow (especially for the elderly), which will make natural gas difficult to be detected after leakage. Therefore, it is necessary to open the window for ventilation when using gas all year round!

2. Turn off the valve in front of the stove

After using the gas, get into the habit of turning off the valve in front of the stove, and don't leave the valve on for convenience. If the valve is always open, it will be very dangerous when the stove or connecting hose leaks.

3. Check and replace the hose regularly

The service life of the connecting hose of the household gas cooker is two years, and it should be replaced in time when it is found to be hard, aging and damaged; In addition, the service length of the hose connected to the gas stove should not exceed two meters, which will easily lead to the reduction of natural gas pressure and backfire. It is recommended to use a safer stainless steel corrugated hose for gas.

4. The installation and selection of gas appliance should be standardized.

The gas stoves purchased must have flameout protection devices, and the gas water heaters should be forced-row gas water heaters and the exhaust flue must directly lead to the outside; Gas appliance should be installed by professionals after purchasing. When purchasing gas appliance products online, you must ask about the installation and maintenance after purchasing.

5. Emergency treatment after finding gas leakage

Remember not to panic after finding gas leakage. First, open the doors and windows in time to let the leaked natural gas drift out directly; The second is to close the main gas valve at home, that is, the valve in front of the table to cut off the gas source; The third is to call the gas company in the outdoor safety zone for repair. Note: Do not touch the electrical switch at will after finding air leakage, do not turn on the range hood for ventilation and exhaust, and do not use open flame for leak detection.
