One wrong move can cause an explosion, so it is critical that you understand the dangers and take proper precautions. Knowing what not to do near your gas cooker is perhaps the best way to avoid any potential danger. This article discusses some of the most important things to avoid doing near your gas cooker to ensure its safety and prevent an explosion in your home.

Firstly, it is important not to fan or blow into the flame. Blowing on the cooker flame can cause unburned gas to be disturbed and mixed with the air, thus allowing an explosive mixture to build which can ignite and cause an explosion.

Secondly, it is important to leave the oven doors closed while you’re cooking. If you open the oven door when there is a gas flame inside, you can allow the gas to escape, creating an explosive mixture which may ignite and cause an explosion.

Also, you should avoid overfilling pots and pans on your gas cooker. If you put too much food in a pan or pot on the gas flame, the food can explode and cause a fire. The fire may not be big enough to cause a full-blown explosion, but it could create a large amount of damage.

In addition, it is important to never leave anything flammable or combustible near or on your gas cooker. This includes items such as cleaning supplies, paper, boxes, utensils, and anything else that can easily catch fire. Keep the space around your gas cooker clear of any items that may ignite easily, to prevent an explosion.

Moreover, you should always use supplied or licensed gas connection tools and not try to do this yourself. If the connections are not correct the gas might leak and accumulate in the vicinity, creating an explosive mixture which may ignite and cause an explosion.

Additionally, never use matches or lighters near your gas cooker. This can create sparks which can ignite the gas that’s leaking, leading to an unfortunate explosion.

Also, avoiding shaking the gas cylinder to check the amount of gas left in left. Just pour water on its side to check the amount of gas left in it.

Finally, make sure to keep the gas regulator clean and free from dust and dirt as this can reduce the efficiency of the regulator. Since it is harder for the regulator to keep the pressure consistent, it can lead to an increase in the pressure of the gas over time, potentially leading to an explosion.

In conclusion, it is essential to understand the safety precautions for gas cookers, so you can ensure their safety and prevent any potential explosions in your home. Some of the key things to avoid are blowing on the flame, overfilling pots and pans, leaving anything flammable near or on the cooker, making your own gas connection tools, using matches or lighters near the cooker, and keeping the gas regulator clean. By following these tips, you can avoid potential explosions in your home and prevent serious injury.
