Four items should not be placed near the stove
In daily life, many people like to heat up their drinks before drinking. Ms. Wang (pseudonym) from China almost blew up her house just by heating a canned beverage.
Ms. Wang wanted to drink a warm almond milk, so she placed the canned beverage on the gas stove to heat it. "I heated it for over an hour and forgot that I was still heating something. Then I heard an explosion. Fortunately, no one was in the kitchen at that time."
After the explosion, Ms. Wang's kitchen was in a mess. There was even a dent in the gas stove, and the range hood had fallen to the ground. The debris of the canned beverage was deeply embedded in the ceiling. The impact and destructive power were astonishing.
The editor warmly reminds you: Don't use the gas stove arbitrarily, as there are potential safety hazards! When casually placing things on the kitchen stove, since it is close to gas and fire sources, these things should not be placed randomly.
- Do Not Use a Lighter to Assist Ignition
When the gas stove fails to ignite, do not use an open flame such as a lighter to assist ignition! Because if the gas stove fails to ignite after several attempts, a certain concentration of gas has accumulated in the air. At this time, using an open flame like a lighter to assist ignition is likely to cause danger. In addition, when a lighter is close to a high-temperature gas stove, it is prone to explode due to heat, causing harm and losses to yourself and your family.
- Flammable Substances Such as Alcohol and Disinfectants!
Alcohol, floral water, insecticides, perfumes, etc. are flammable substances. They are prone to flash fires when encountering sparks. When using them, remember to keep away from the stove and other combustibles.
- Keep Away from the Stove When Using Flour!
If you are making dumplings or noodles at home, keep away from the stove when using flour. You can scoop out a little and put it in a container, taking as much as you need. A large amount of flour should not be close to the flame. Do not slap the flour casually to avoid a large amount of flour dust in the air. Note: Do not let children play with flour in the kitchen. Be sure to keep away from open flames.
- Pay Attention to Electronic Products Too!
Some people have the experience of learning to cook while watching videos. However, never place a mobile phone or tablet near the gas stove for convenience. The lithium-ion battery in a mobile phone can explode when overheated, and in severe cases, it can easily cause a fire.
In addition, when cooking or taking a bath at home, remind family members to open windows for ventilation. Keep the air circulation in places with gas facilities to avoid potential safety hazards!
Hey! Have you learned these details of safe gas use? Remember, do not spray alcohol, insecticides, floral water, perfume, etc. in places with open flames such as the kitchen. Do not pour flour, starch, coffee powder, milk powder... randomly to avoid dust explosions!
