Precautions For Elderly People Using Gas

1. Don't leave the kitchen when cooking
If something is cooking on the gas stove, do not go back to the room to watch TV, make phone calls, etc. Keep an eye on the gas stove to avoid safety accidents such as soup overflow and accidental flameout. After using gas, the gas valve should be closed in a timely manner.

2. Do not hang objects on the pipeline
Many people habitually hang small items and rags on the pipes when washing and cooking in the kitchen, which is very undesirable. Both indoor gas pipes and various gas hoses cannot bear weight or store materials. Hanging debris may cause pipeline deformation, and in severe cases, it can cause gas leakage.

3. Do not close doors or windows when using gas
Long term use of gas without opening windows can easily lead to insufficient indoor oxygen. Windows should be opened frequently for ventilation, especially when using gas to avoid oxygen deficiency and personal injury.

4. Be cautious when discovering air leaks
If you smell "gas smell" at home, don't panic, don't move the open flame, don't switch on the electrical appliances, quickly open the window, turn off the gas source, quickly evacuate to a safe outdoor place, and call the 24-hour service hotline of the gas company.

5. Do not repeatedly ignite the gas stove
If the gas stove cannot ignite for three consecutive times, it should be left for a while to ensure that the gas has dissipated before reigniting. Because although the stove has not been ignited, the gas has been released to the surrounding area multiple times, and encountering an open flame can easily cause ignition and explosion.

6. Install gas detector alarms
Installing gas detector alarms in the kitchen can effectively and timely detect gas leaks in advance, so that we can take safety measures.
