Q: Is a red/orange flame dangerous?
A: Yes, it can produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that’s harmful in enclosed spaces. Ventilate immediately and fix the issue.
Q: How often should I clean my gas stove?
A: Clean burners and grates monthly, and deep-clean the stove (including vents) every 3–6 months, depending on use.
Q: Can I fix low cylinder pressure myself?
A: Check connections and ensure the valve is fully open. If the problem persists, contact your gas supplier or a technician to inspect the cylinder or regulator.
Q: What if my stove is new but the flame is orange?
A: It may be improperly installed or adjusted. Contact the manufacturer or a professional to recalibrate the air shutter or check gas lines.
Q: How do I know if my kitchen has enough ventilation?
A: You should have a range hood, exhaust fan, or open windows. If you smell gas or feel dizzy while cooking, increase ventilation and check for issues.
💡 Tips for Safe and Efficient Cooking
Clean Regularly: Wipe spills after each use to prevent grease buildup. Use a vinegar-soapy water mix for tough stains.
Use a CO Detector: Install a carbon monoxide detector near your kitchen for added safety.
Adjust Flame Size: Keep flames under the cookware base to avoid wasted gas and uneven heating.
Check Gas Lines: Inspect hoses and connections yearly for leaks (use soapy water to spot bubbles).
Ventilate Always: Open a window or use a range hood, especially with prolonged cooking.
Schedule Maintenance: Have a professional service your stove annually to ensure optimal performance.
