Is the gas stove still maintained? The hidden danger of "service" in the overdue of gas appliances is large? Gas safety is related to millions of households. Guangzhou gas reminds that residents should diligently inspect household gas equipment, including gas water heaters and gas stoves. In addition, the service life of gas stoves and water heaters is 8 years. If the gas premises have reached the service life, even if it looks "intact", it is recommended to force consumers to scrap for themselves for their own safety.

Scientific maintenance gas stove is safe and gas -saving

I wonder if you have found that all kinds of small problems have been found in the gas stove for a long time, such as the fire cover rust, the firepower becomes smaller, and the fire holes are blocked, which not only affects use, but also causes safety accidents. So how to clean and maintain the gas stove in daily life?

Guangzhou gas reminds that before the gas stove, cut off the gas valve and clean it in the cooling state of the gas stove. When cleaning, do not disassemble the safety device and gas -density components of the gas stove. It is strictly forbidden to rinse the body with water.

At the same time, use a dry cloth to wipe the table on the gas stove. Stains that are not easy to clean can be wiped with soapy water (or special cleaning agent), and then wipe it with a dry cloth. If you want to remove the fingerprints left on the surface of stainless steel, wipe it with a special stainless steel washing agent (such as Amway, Bilizhu, 3M, etc.), and the glass panel avoids cleaning a chlorine cleaning agent (such as bleaching water, etc.).

When cleaning, take out the fire cover and remove the surface of the fire cover with a soft brush. During the use, if the flame is found to be uneven or the fire holes are not flames, the fire cover is cooled, remove the fire cover, and use steel to use steel, and use steel to use steel, and use steel to use steel and use steel. The needle or fire holes cleans the dirt and carbon accumulation in the fire holes to keep the air road open and the combustion is stable. Wipe the dirt on the surface of the ignition needle and the surface of the thermocouple with a dry cloth to effectively prevent the accumulation of oil pollution, to be able to get rid of the hand when the fire cannot be hit.

When cleaning the steel frame, clean with a soft dry cloth and cleaning agent thermal solution. Do not use acidic substances (vinegar) to wash the enamel surface. After cleaning, dry the cover of the fire cover, fire cover, and pot rack to ensure that there is no water in the fire cover and the fire hole. Then the fire cover base, fire cover and pot frame are installed.

In addition, before using the gas stove, check whether the lid base and the fire cover are flattened. Do not ignite when it is inconsistent or wrong. Its base is deformed.

Gas uses for 8 years to be replaced

According to the national standard "Safety Management Rules for Household Gas Burning Equipment", from the day of the sale, the verdict of the rapid water heater using liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas should be 8 years. Citizens should pay attention to the use time of home gas tools. The person in charge of Guangzhou gas reminded that the overdue use of the water heater is highly harmful. One is that the efficiency of the water heater is reduced and waste gas; the second is the aging of safety protection devices, the aging of the gas pipeline, and it is prone to accidents such as gas leakage or burns. It is easy to cause incomplete gas combustion and cause carbon monoxide poisoning accidents.

Therefore, if the gas premises have reached the useful life, even if it looks "intact", it is recommended to force consumers to scrap for themselves for their own safety. It is also suggested that citizens determine the home gas stoves with the corresponding thermal burden value based on their living habits and the number of family members. When using, be careful not to use over -the -heat loads.

In addition, some users have installed gas alarms in the kitchen, but it is unclear, and the gas alarm also expires. According to the technical regulations of the People's Republic of China Industry Standard "Urban Gas Alarm Control System", the use of combustible gas detectors used by commercial and industrial enterprises is 3 years and households are valid for 5 years. Please replace them in time. Everyone should often conduct self -inspection of the gas alarm. Just press the "self -check" key. When it is detected, it will continue to flash the yellow light and send a alarm sound to remind the user to change it. And clean up the gas alarm at least once a year, so as to ensure normal use.
