    Kitchen is a place in the home, where food is prepared for our loved ones. One needs to careful and cautious enough when handling gas stoves &gas cylinders. Safety needs to be ensured as more time is spent in the kitchen while preparing variety of dishes. Newly emerging apartments in the cities carry gas lines or pipes up to the kitchen and so the problems with the cylinders and regulators are mostly solved, were as homes with cylinders and stoves require to take few cautions:

    Never place two gas cylinders together. Keep away one from the other.

    Never place any weight over the cylinder, though it is empty.

    Never lit diyas or oil lamps, close to gas stove or cylinders. Not even the incense sticks.

    Check rubber tube regularly for cracks, if any. Change rubber tube at least once in two years.

    Regulator needs to lock in completely in the cylinder, otherwise chances of gas leakage is high. Change the regulator immediately.

    When taking the delivery of the gas cylinder, check for the safety valve, if it is not o.k., return it.

    Always have your distributor or dealers phone number and also know the emergency help line numbers which functions 24/7.

    Clean your stove &burners regularly to have free flow of gas without any obstruction, which helps to have cooking faster.

    Wipe the stove &burners with cloth &don’t pour water over it.

    If anything slips or spills over the stove, clean it immediately so as to avoid stains and marks which gets harder to clean after wards.

    Always use the on &off knobs properly. When not in use, switch off the regulator.

    Clean knobs regularly so as to avoid stickiness due to oil &other things.

    IF YOU SMELL GAS………………

    Ensure that burner knobs are in closed position

    Open windows, if any,

    Do not light a match.

    Extinguish all fires and flames.

    Switch off the pressure regulator

    Do not operate any electrical switches, remove regulator, fix the cap on the valve.

    Move the cylinder to a safe and ventilated place. Do not bring any flame or fire near the cylinder.

    Call your distributor or 24 hours emergency service cell.
