Cooking with a gas cooker is a daily activity for many households. To ensure safety and prevent accidents, follow these essential precautions when using your Elbee gas cooker:

1. Never Leave Cooking Unattended:

• Stay Alert: Always keep an eye on your cooking. If you need to step away, turn off the gas to avoid any mishaps.
• Child Supervision: Never allow children to cook without adult supervision.

2. Flame Management:

• Contain the Flame: Ensure the flame stays within the pot or pan. Avoid letting it extend beyond the sides.
• Turn Pot Handles Away: Position pot handles away from the stove edge to prevent accidental spills.

3. Keep the Cooktop Clean:

• Grease and Fat Build-Up: Regularly clean your gas cooktop to prevent grease and fat accumulation. Grease can be flammable and pose a fire risk.

4. Proper Installation and Maintenance:

• Gas Safe Registered Engineer: Your gas cooker must be installed by a competent Gas Safe registered engineer.
• Annual Servicing: Get your gas cooker serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered professional. They will check for safety, proper burning, secure connections, and ventilation requirements.

5. Prevent Gas Leaks and Fire Hazards:

• Check for Odor: Natural gas is odorless, but companies add a distinct smell (like rotten eggs) to detect leaks. If you smell gas, turn off the supply immediately.
• Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect your gas cooker for wear and tear.

6. Emergency Preparedness:

• Access to Emergency Equipment: Keep a fire extinguisher and fire blanket nearby.
• Know Emergency Numbers: Be aware of emergency services contact numbers.

Remember, safety is paramount when using gas appliances. By following these precautions, you’ll enjoy safe and efficient cooking with your Elbee gas cooker! 🔥🍳
