Consumers should not blindly disassemble the appliance after encountering these problems. Check, the experts have given us a detailed answer to these common problems. If you encounter problems with the use of gas stoves, you may wish to pay attention to:


What measures should be taken when using liquefied petroleum gas gas stoves?


The normal flame of the LPG gas stove is light blue, the flame inside the flame is clear, the height is about 20mm, there is a slight noise, and the firepower is strong. If the flame is small, the reasons and troubleshooting methods are as follows:


1) The flame hole of the burner flame cover is blocked by dirt, which prevents the mixed gas from the burner from flowing out, and cleans up the dirt on the flame hole.


2) The nozzle is blocked, unscrew the nozzle and clean it up.


3) The air inlet and nozzle of the regulator are blocked by rust, which prevents the gas from flowing out of the cylinder. Replace a qualified regulator.


4) When the hose is folded flat, ventilation is blocked, straighten the hose.


5) In addition, the gas is about to be used up, and the valve is not fully opened, and other reasons should be paid attention to, and corresponding measures can be taken to solve it.


Why does the gas stove flame become smaller in winter?


Is it normal for a gas stove to have a red fire? Why does a red fire appear when the stove is burning?


The prosperous fire of gas stoves is mainly caused by the following reasons:


1) The reason for the gas: When there is too much moisture or impurities in the combustion gas, the color of the flame will be red.


2) The cause of dust: When there is dust in the house or when cooking, the amount of moisture and gas in the air increases, it is also prone to prosperous fire.


3) Cause of the air door: When the air door is not well adjusted, this situation may also occur. At this time, only need to adjust the air door.


4) The reason for the pot support: The enamel on the surface of the pot support turns red when heated at high temperature, and the flame around the pot support is found to be red due to the special material of the enamel, which is the color of metal ions at high temperatures.


Therefore, the red fire when burning is not caused by a problem with the stove, but caused by the above-mentioned reasons, which will not affect normal use and will not cause harm to human health.


What should I do when the gas stove has not caught fire?


If you encounter a gas stove that does not catch fire, you should check according to the following procedures: First, check whether the gas source switch is in the on state, if it is in the on state, then secondly, check whether the connecting hose is flattened Or bend, if it is not flattened or bend, then finally, pick up the pot holder to see if there is fire at the ignition nozzle:


1) If there is no fire, check whether the discharge needle discharges. a. If the discharge needle does not discharge, it means that the discharge needle is faulty and the discharge needle should be replaced. b. If the discharge needle discharges, it means that the valve body is faulty and the valve body should be replaced.


2) If there is a fire: a. If it can burn normally, it means that the position of the igniter is too high. You should instruct the user to gently press the igniter down a few times, and then put it on the pot holder. b. If there is a fire, but the flame is too weak to reach the burner, the gas pressure is too low. The user of the liquefied gas stove recommends that it replace the pressure reducing valve with a new one. The coal-based gas and natural gas should be reported to the gas supply company. c. If there is a fire and the flame can reach the fire cover, but it does not catch fire, it means that the valve body is blocked. Instruct the user to use a thin iron wire to clear the nozzle.
