They and gas stove distance at least to maintain more than 1 meter, if space is limited, may wish to wear a fire board for the cabinet armor, to add a solid line of defense for safety.

2. Avoid humid environment: humid environment is the natural enemy of gas stove. Next to the bathroom, not completely dry cabinets, water vapor will quietly erode gas stove parts, leading to ignition difficulties, combustion instability and other issues. Therefore, the choice of dry, well-ventilated installation of gas stoves in order to ensure its healthy operation.

3. Space requirement: gas stove needs enough breathing space. Back and both sides should have at least 15 cm of space, the top of the wooden cabinet if encountered, the height should be more than 1 meter. For the embedded gas stove, the bottom should be set aside vents, to avoid heat accumulation caused by the danger.

II.Matching of air source

Natural gas, liquefied gas, man-made gas, different gas source like different character of the energy wizard, they have their own unique characteristics and parameters.

1. Gas Matching: gas stove gas source must be used at home with the gas source to match, which is to ensure safe combustion of the“Golden Rule.”. If the gas source does not match, like to the car with the wrong oil, can lead to flame weakness, inadequate combustion, and even cause backfire and other dangerous conditions. Before buying gas stove, be sure to check the product nameplate on the gas source identification, must not modify the nozzle, otherwise it is like in the safety of the road buried a time bomb.

When connecting, the two ends should be firmly fixed with the pipe clamp to eliminate the hidden danger of looseness and air leakage.

III.Specification for pipe connection

2. Valve installation: A valve is a safety switch for gas transmission. After installation, the switch should be tested repeatedly to ensure that it is smooth and Cottonwood-free and can quickly cut off the gas supply at a critical time.

IV.Power supply and ignition system

The popularity of electronic ignition range, so that cooking becomes more convenient. However, the normal operation of the ignition system is inseparable from the standard installation and debugging.

If the kitchen environment is wet, it is recommended to install waterproof box for the power supply, such as the energy source to wear a protective clothing, to prevent short circuit and other faults.

2. Ignition test: the ignition test is an essential step after installation. Observe if the flame is evenly blue. This is a sign that the flame is burning well. If there is a yellow flame or crackling sound, indicating inadequate combustion, need to adjust the throttle, let the flame deep breath, return to the best.

Good ventilation and smoke exhaust system is an important guarantee for kitchen safety. They are like to the kitchen equipped with“Lung” device, can be timely discharge of combustion emissions and harmful gases, to keep the kitchen air fresh.

1. Range Hoods: for open kitchens, use a high-volume exhaust hood, which acts like a powerful air cleaner and quickly expels exhaust fumes outside. Closed space is to open windows or add exhaust fans, the formation of air convection, to avoid carbon monoxide and other harmful gases in the indoor accumulation.

2. Natural ventilation: natural ventilation is also a simple and effective way to clear the lung. Open a window when cooking, let fresh air in, exhaust out, like a kitchen for a big change of air. If the kitchen cabinet close to the stove, remember to open holes in the bottom, so that air can flow freely for gas stove to provide adequate oxygen, to ensure that more fully burned.
