What
are the basic rules of safety?
- DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT THESE SAFETY POINTS?
Always
remember to shut the value when the stove
is not in use, especially at night.
Don't tamper with
your cylinder or allied equipment.
Make
sure all parts of the installation are in
good condition. If you find anything wrong
with any part, contact your distributor
and ask for a mechanic.
It
is safer to wear cotton clothing while working
in the kitchen.Do not use dupatta to handle
utensils, preferably use an apron.
Keep
children away from the installation while
you're cooking.
Use
dry pot holders.
Never
leave the hotplate on and unattended. The
burners could extinguish by overflow of
cooking material or even draught of air)
allowing gas to leak. The accumulated gas
could get ignited by the second burner in
operation (or other sources) resulting in
fire.
Turn
pan handles to the side away from the flame.
Keep plastic items away from the stoves.
50%
of cooking gas-related accidents occur because
of leakages from the rubber tube. Get your
tube changed, whenever it is damaged. And
as a rule, replace the rubber tube every
two years.
Keep
the safety cap on over unused cylinders.
