A gas company has given 5 notes on the safe use of gas cylinders and gas stoves that users need to know.

1. Keep a safe distance between the gas cylinder and the gas stove

According to the manufacturer's recommendation, the ideal distance from the gas stove to the gas cylinder or any other heat source is 1-1.5m. This is the distance that helps ensure safety during use.

In addition, placing the gas stove higher than the gas cylinder is also very important.

2. Do not place the gas cylinder in a closed space

You need to place the gas cylinder in an open space with good ventilation. To ensure the aesthetics of the kitchen, homeowners can design the gas cylinder in the kitchen cabinet but still have to ensure ventilation.

3. Be careful with gas odors

When you smell a strange odor in the house, check the gas cylinder and the wire to see if there is a gas leak.

During this time, you should not turn on the stove or any heat source. Absolutely do not touch devices that can emit sparks such as light switches, fans, even turning on and using mobile phones.

When you smell a strange smell like gas, it is best to open all doors (both main doors and windows) to let the gas escape, avoiding fire and explosion.

4. Find the location of the gas leak

When determining that there is a gas leak in the house, you need to determine where the leak is. To do this, take a little soapy water and a sponge and apply it to the gas line and control valve. The place where foam forms is the leak. Tightly close the valve of the gas tank, remove the gas tank and take it to a place with good ventilation.

5. Replace the gas line and valve periodically

During use, you should check the line and valve of the gas tank regularly. With the line, you should replace it every 2 years, with the control valve, you can replace it after 5 years of use. If you buy new wires or valves, you should buy certified ones to avoid risks during use.
