FIRE SAFETY RULES FOR THE OPERATION OF GAS APPLIANCES
There are two types of "home" gas: METHANE (the one that goes through the main pipe to your stove) and PROPANE / BUTANE (it is brought in red and yellow cylinders). An ordinary person will not be able to distinguish these gases, he will not even detect them — they have no smell. However, in order for their leakage to be detected, a substance with a rather unpleasant smell is added to the gas. It is he who is associated with gas.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
Methane is lighter than air and tends upwards.
Balloon gas is heavier — it accumulates at the bottom, penetrates under the floor if there are cracks.
If a leak has formed from the cylinder, for example, in a residential building where there are often cellars and subfloors, even if the leak is small, there is a risk that the gas may accumulate and one fine moment one small spark from the switch will be enough for a catastrophe. If there is no electricity in your cellar, you can just inhale gas.
According to statistics, the main cause of all gas accidents is the usual negligence and disregard for established safety standards.
Before ignition and during gorenje gas appliances ventilate the room, opening a window or window or turning on the forced ventilation system.
2.. Check the draught in the smoke ducts before ignition, periodically do this during gorenje.
No matter how corny it may sound, but — do not leave unattended gas appliances turned on.
Do not use gas stoves for heating!
Do not design, carry or repair gas equipment yourself! This is very dangerous and can lead to an explosion.
