When your house has just been painted or whitewashed, the paint fumes or lime dust sticking to the burner or stove grates can turn the flame red, resulting in blackened pot bottoms when cooking. In this situation, wait a few days for the paint fumes and lime dust to fade and then clean the gas stove thoroughly, ventilate the kitchen to remedy the issue.
5. Clogged flame ports (gas stove burners)
Food residue and dirt clogging the flame ports cause the gas stove to produce a black-red flame in the pot. To remedy this, you need to remove the stove grates and burners, use a sharp object and brush to clean the flame ports. After cleaning, let the components dry completely before reassembling them back to their original positions.
6. Foreign object in the gas supply tube
If the gas stove blackens pots not due to the above reasons, there may be a foreign object such as cobwebs or other debris lodged in the gas supply tube. In this case, you should call reputable repair centers with expertise to inspect. Absolutely do not attempt repairs on your own without technical knowledge and understanding of how gas stoves operate.
7. Safety precautions when using a gas stove
Always remember to lock the gas cylinder after cooking to prevent gas leakage and potential explosions. Secure the valve before igniting the stove.
Position your gas stove appropriately, ensuring it is at least 15cm away from the wall, 1-1.5m away from the ceiling, and 1.5m from electronic appliances. Avoid placing flammable objects near the stove while cooking.
Use pots and pans of suitable size to optimize cooking time and gas usage. Oversized cookware leads to inefficient cooking, while undersized ones can cause flames to spread and damage the cookware.
Regularly clean your gas stove to maintain its lifespan and cooking efficiency. Wipe off grease and food residues after each use to prevent damage and fuel wastage.
Conduct routine checks on your gas stove, gas cylinder, pipelines, and valves every two months to ensure safe usage.
