Routinely check for gas leaks<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nThis is one of the most important safety steps. Escaping gas can lead to very dangerous situations if it\u2019s not quickly fixed.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nIt's recommended to inspect your range\u2019s gas connections yearly and whenever you smell gas. You should also recheck the connections if gas appliances are moved during cleaning.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nRemember to never use a range with an unrepaired gas leak - immediately shut off the gas and call your utility provider for assistance.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nSome signs that gas may be leaking include:\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list -->\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>The smell of rotten eggs.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Hissing or whistling sounds around pipes or appliances.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Bubbling if you apply a soap and water solution to areas where you suspect leaks. Soapy bubbles will appear where leaks are present.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Discoloration on walls or strange staining<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Dying indoor plants that were previously healthy<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Red or orange flames after turning on the burner. The flame should be blue. If you see a red or orange flame, turn off the stove and the gas supply right away and call your gas utility.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Higher-than-normal gas meter readings<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/gas-vs-electric-which-range-is-right-for-you\/\"><strong>Read more: Gas VS Electric: Which Range Is Right For You?<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>2. Include adequate ventilation<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nNo less important than leak detection is making sure cooking emissions and fumes are removed from living areas. This is where range hoods, vents, and windows come in.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nOpening windows may help with ventilation, but properly installed range hoods are much more effective at removing indoor air pollutants.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list -->\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Regularly clean the range hood by using a non-abrasive cleaner to prevent grease buildup and fires.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Inspect the hood a few times a year to be sure it fully vents to the outdoors rather than just recirculating air.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Make sure the exhaust ducts that lead outside remain unobstructed.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>3. Install carbon monoxide detectors<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nGas ranges, like any appliance that burns fuel, can produce carbon monoxide (CO), which is a deadly, colorless, and odorless gas.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nAlways make sure there\u2019s at least one carbon monoxide detector installed on each level of your home to provide timely alerts about any unsafe CO accumulation.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nWatch out for symptoms of CO exposure, which can include:\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list -->\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Headache<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Fatigue<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Shortness of breath<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Nausea<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Dizziness<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Mental confusion<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Vomiting<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Loss of muscular coordination<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Loss of consciousness<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Death<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>4. Practice fire safety<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nAs with any appliance involving heat or open flames, gas ranges carry fire risks. Take these precautions to keep you and your loved ones safe:\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list -->\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Keep combustible items like towels, bags or boxes away from burners.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Turn the temperature control knobs fully to the \"off\" position after each use.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Make sure all flames are fully extinguished before leaving the range unattended.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Keep a multipurpose fire extinguisher that works on gas or grease fires in an easily accessible location near the range.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Install and keep at least one smoke alarm on each floor of your home in the event of a fire hazard.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/gas-range-smells-like-gas-top-5-reasons-and-fixes-with-video\/\"><strong>Read more: Gas Range Smells Like Gas<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>5. Maintain the burners<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nGas range burners require regular maintenance to ensure safety and longevity. Pay close attention to any changes in burner operation and keep the components clean and functional so you can depend on them.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list -->\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Remove the burners and scrubbing ports and keep the openings clear of residue using soap and water to prevent gas flow issues.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Check that each burner individually fires and adjust them properly once lit.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Replace worn or corroded burners that could leak or malfunction.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Don\u2019t store cookware or other items on top of burners when the range isn\u2019t in use.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/gas-stove-owners-guide-to-cleaning-a-gas-cooktop\/\"><strong>Read more: NEW FLAME, NO PROBLEM: YOUR GUIDE TO CLEANING A GAS COOKTOP<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>6. Use the correct cookware<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nUsing the right pots and pans on a gas range is also important for safe cooking. You should match the size of the pan to the burner and:\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list -->\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Avoid oversized cookware that allows flames to escape the confines of the pan.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Choosing sturdy construction like stainless steel or cast iron that distributes heat evenly without hot spots.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Never select thin, cracked, or damaged items that could trap heat or cause fires.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-clean-an-oven\/\"><strong>Read more: How to Clean an Oven<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>More gas stove safety tips<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list -->\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Make sure the range is installed and operated according manufacturer\u2019s instructions and local building codes.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Always supervise children and pets that are near any operating range.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Write down the gas shut-off valve location and numbers for emergency services and keep that information in a well-known, easily accessible place.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Never use a range or oven to heat your home, since it could potentially lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nBy taking the time to check and maintain your gas range, you can help it run better and keep your home safe.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nThanks for reading!
