The hose connected to the kitchen stove should be naturally pendulous and maintain a distance of more than 10 cm. Otherwise, it may be burned and lead to accidents. Check regularly the hose for any loose, detachment, cracking or deterioration. Any hose that has been in use for 3 years must be replaced. Gas system leakage is mainly caused by: broken fillers or gaskets at the joints of the hose; (2) pipe holes due to corrosion; (3) damaged gas meter; (4) aging or damaged rubber hose connected to the tube; (5) loosely screwed stove; (6) damaged fillers of the front valve of the gas meter.

The smell of rotten eggs or petrol fumes indicates a leak. In this case, never use the stove, turn on the switch, smoke or strike with an iron; never enter with nail black street shoes, never use your mobile phone. Immediately turn off the gas valve, open the kitchen doors and windows for natural ventilation to reduce the concentration of leaked gas; however, never open the exhaust fan for forced ventilation. Otherwise, the motor switch and start will trigger sparks, which may in turn catch fire.

Soapy water may be used to test the parts that may cause leakage. Any bubbles will indicate leakage. In this case, immediately turn off the intake valve; never use matches or lighters to test, for it is too dangerous. In case of inability to repair it by yourself, please immediately notify the gas supplier for repair.

Without authorization, users may not change or remove household gas facilities, dry wet rags or clothing on the hose, let alone hang heavy objects on the gas pipeline or gas meters. Never connect the antenna or ground wire to the gas tube to avoid any electric spark or explosion.

For the use of gas appliances, yellow flames indicate abnormal combustion. In this case, be sure to open the window for ventilation. For gas appliances, daily maintenance shall be conducted to identify and eliminate any problem in a timely manner.

When the home will be not inhabited for a long time, please shut down the gas valve and provide contact information to the property company.
