In daily life, the gas stove is a good helper for us to cook delicious food, but when it burns, there is an abnormal noise, which will inevitably make people feel 1 tight. In fact, the abnormal sound when the gas stove is burning is usually not a major problem that is difficult to solve, but it should not be taken lightly. Timely investigation and treatment is very important. The following is a detailed introduction to the causes and solutions of different abnormal noise situations, as well as the core principles of safety self-examination.

1. "bang bang" deflagration sound

This sound is particularly evident at the moment of ignition, as if setting off firecrackers, usually caused by "backfire" or "deflagration.

· Fire cover blockage：If the gas stove is used for a long time, soup, oil stains, etc. will easily accumulate and block the air outlet of the fire cover (the copper sheet with 1 rings of small holes). This will prevent the gas from being discharged smoothly, and when it is held in the stove, it will instantly deflagrate and make a "bang" sound when it is ignited.

·Solution steps: first close the gas valve to ensure safety. Then wait for the stove to cool completely and remove the fire cover. Put the fire cover into hot water, add the right amount of detergent, soak for a few minutes, let the dirt soften. Then, carefully scrub the surface of the fire cover with an old toothbrush, and then use a sewing needle to dredge the small holes vertically to ensure smooth air outlet.

· Misalignment or deformation of the fire cover：After cleaning the cooker, if the fire cover is not put back in place correctly and rotated tightly, or deformed due to long-term high temperature environment, gas will leak out from the gap, which will also cause deflagration.

·Key points to solve: carefully check whether the fire cover is flat and tight. If it is found that the fire cover is obviously deformed and it is difficult to repair it, it is recommended to contact the after-sales service to replace the new fire cover in time to avoid leaving potential safety hazards.

2. "whirring" wind or "crackling" sound

This kind of sound is often related to the mixing ratio of gas and air.

· Improper adjustment of the damper：There is an adjustable damper at the bottom of the gas stove, its function is to control the amount of air entering the stove. If the air door is opened too much and the air is too much, the mixing ratio of gas and air will be out of balance, resulting in unstable flame and "out of flame" phenomenon (the flame is erratic and even out of the bottom of the pot), and at the same time, it will make a "whirring" sound or "crackling" cracking sound.

· Adjustment method: After turning off the fire, find the damper adjustment screw at the bottom of the stove, usually under the stove head. Slowly lower the damper, then ignite and observe the flame. When the flame turns stable blue, it means that the damper is adjusted properly, and the mixing ratio of gas and air has reached the best state.

3. "Hissing" air leakage sound

This is the voice that needs to be most vigilant. Once it appears, it must be highly valued.

·Possible causes：If you hear a continuous "hissing" sound and smell a pungent gas smell similar to "rotten eggs", it is likely that the gas is leaking. This is an extremely dangerous situation and may cause serious accidents such as fire or explosion at any time.

·Emergency treatment: immediately close the gas valve and stove switch, cut off the gas supply. Quickly open the window ventilation, reduce the indoor gas concentration. During the ventilation process, do not use any electrical appliances or switches in the kitchen, and do not approach the fire source to avoid electric sparks causing an explosion. After evacuating to a safe place, call the gas company or stove after-sales telephone for help in time, and let professionals come to deal with it.

4. Core principles of safety self-inspection

· 1 of principles:When investigating the abnormal noise of gas stoves, the first thing to do is to smell whether there is gas smell. A gas leak gives off a pungent "rotten egg"-like odor, the highest-priority safety alert. Once you smell the gas, you should immediately stop using the gas stove and deal with it in accordance with the above emergency treatment methods.

· 2 of principles:The blockage and dislocation of the fire cover are the common reasons for the abnormal sound of the gas stove. Therefore, when troubleshooting problems, priority should be given to checking whether the fire cover is blocked and whether it is flat and jammed. First solve these common problems, often can quickly eliminate abnormal noise, restore the normal use of gas stove.
