To ensure the safety of not only your family, but also all the residents of the house, you need to know and remember the rules for the proper use of gas appliances. Before you start using the device, each consumer must undergo special training.

General requirements for the operation of a gas stove

During operation, it is recommended to open the window in the kitchen or turn on the hood. This is necessary to eliminate the emission of carbon monoxide, which does not have a very positive effect on well-being. person (headaches, allergic reactions can occur), as well as its high concentration can be dangerous for health. In addition, this will reduce the pollution level of the ceiling and kitchen furniture from soot. Also, do not place large-diameter pans on low burners, this can provoke incomplete combustion of gas.

ATTENTION! The connection of gas equipment, as well as maintenance should be carried out only by specialists with appropriate permits for this type of activity.

After the cooking process is complete, it is necessary to turn the tap to the “off” position and make through ventilation of the kitchen and rooms.

REFERENCE! Regular cleaning of the outer surface of the stove (grill, lid of the burners) will ensure its normal functioning and significantly extend the service life.

It should be serious about the arrangement of space. Flammable objects (curtains, towels, tacks), which can cause a fire, are not allowed near the stove. If there are children in the house, it is advisable to place the dishes on the rear burners to prevent an accident. Or use special fences, which can be purchased separately at the store.

IMPORTANT! There is a sequence of actions in the event of a gas leak in the room: do not allow turning on and off the electric lighting, as well as any devices, working from the mains, close the valve on the gas pipe, open windows or a window to ensure ventilation, call the gas service and wait for arrival specialists.

How to light a fire

If you purchased a new stove or for the first time encountering this type of equipment, you should carefully read the attached instructions, which contains a detailed description of the operation instrument. Consider the location of the rotatable relays. Typically, manufacturers try to easily and clearly schematically depict the relationship of the relay with a specific burner. Before you start using the stove, you must make sure that all relays are in the off position. Next, we turn the valve on the pipe to ensure the supply of natural gas to the stove.

Important information will be the principle of ignition of burners. There are two main options: ignition using matches (lighters) or the use of an additional function of the “built-in electric ignition” stove. Its action is as follows: when a button located on the left or right side of the relay is pressed, a spark is applied to all burners.

In the first case, light a match and bring it to the selected divider, at the same time turn the relay with the other hand ninety degrees counterclockwise, adjust the flame level to the required size (strong, medium, weak). In the second case, we press the electric ignition button (it may be necessary to press several times), after pressing it in a little, we turn the relay. It is worth noting that this option is more convenient for daily use.

To turn on the oven, open the door, find in the lower part of the hole to which the burning match is brought. At the same time, the relay related to the oven rotates. If the fire ignites, close the door and turn the relay to the position of the required heating temperature. If there is a function of “built-in electric ignition”, it acts similarly to turning on the upper burners.

IMPORTANT! It is worthwhile to pay attention to the correct color of the burning of the fire: it should be a clear blue tint, and also should be evenly spaced in a circle. Unacceptable is the appearance of an uneven, intermittent, with an orange tinge of burning. In this case, you should contact the gas service to identify and eliminate the cause (most likely, the burner must be cleaned).
