Maintenance Tips for Gas Stoves
1. Regularly check the gas supply pipe connection using soapy water to detect any leaks. Also, inspect the rubber hose for signs of aging or cracking.
2. Clean the burner holes on the stove's fire cover regularly to avoid blockages that can affect performance and safety.
3. If the fire cover is damaged, always replace it with an original part. Using non-original parts may lead to incomplete combustion and potential hazards.
4. Over time, the intake hose may become worn or damaged, creating a serious safety risk. Replace it immediately if you notice any damage. Never attempt to repair it with tape or other temporary fixes.
Gas Stove Usage and Care
1. Ensure proper ventilation in the kitchen when using the gas stove to prevent the buildup of harmful gases.
2. Avoid touching the cooktop surface while the stove is in use, as it can become very hot and cause burns.
3. If the flame from the burner appears uneven, gently clean the nozzles with a brush or a small steel needle to restore even burning.
4. Keep the bottom of pots dry to prevent water from entering the stove, which could cause rusting or internal blockage.
5. Do not use greasy rags to clean the gas holes, as this can clog them and reduce airflow, leading to inefficient combustion.
6. For older stoves, it’s recommended to inspect the gas hose annually and replace it every year to ensure continued safe operation.
7. Check the stove for leaks regularly. Apply oil to the switch button every six months to maintain smooth operation and prevent sticking.
Range Hood Maintenance
1. Install the range hood at the correct height—ideally between 650–700 mm from the top of the stove—to maximize efficiency and prevent contact.
2. Keep the exhaust duct as short and straight as possible. A larger turning radius will improve airflow, reduce noise, and enhance smoke removal performance.
3. When installing in a shared flue with a check valve, make sure the valve opens and closes properly to avoid backdrafts or poor suction.
4. Ensure the range hood is level during installation. An uneven unit may cause oil to leak from the internal channels.
5. Always use a grounded power outlet to prevent electrical hazards.
6. Clean the range hood regularly to remove grease buildup from the motor, fan, and exterior. Excessive grease can cause noise, vibration, and oil leakage.
7. Maintain good air circulation in the kitchen while using the range hood. Poor ventilation can create negative pressure, reducing the hood’s effectiveness.
8. Avoid cleaning the range hood yourself unless necessary. Removing the unit can disrupt the motor’s performance and increase noise. It’s best to have a professional handle deep cleaning tasks.
