The kitchen gas alarm became the "umbrella" for residents to use gas

Nowadays, more and more households use gas in cities. In order to prevent gas poisoning, kitchen gas alarms have become an “umbrella” for residents to use gas. However, in the recent gas accidents, the alarm suddenly became "dummy." Objectively speaking, the cause of the malfunction of the alarm is that the quality factor only occupies a small part, and most of the reasons are attributed to improper use of the residents. How to use the alarm properly? The following three mistakes start to explain how to properly use the kitchen gas alarm.

Misunderstanding 1: The alarm can be used for a lifetime

According to reports, most of the family's kitchen gas alarms are now equipped with property or gas companies when they are installed. It takes more than ten or even twenty years. This is very dangerous. Because kitchen gas alarms are also electronic products, the circuit boards of electronic products have a long service life. Especially young people, they may have replaced several computers for more than a decade, replaced countless mobile phones, but they have left their alarm boxes. Therefore, the public should pay more attention to the alarms in their homes. Kitchen gas alarms should be replaced once every five years. In addition, the kitchen gas alarm must be regularly removed to remove dust, because dust covers the alarm sensor's sensing element will reduce the sensitivity of the sensing element.

Misunderstanding 2: The alarm is installed in the kitchen

Some families now install kitchen gas alarms on kitchens and even above gas hoods, indicating that this is not desirable. Because the alarm element, especially the sensor element of the new alarm, is very sensitive, when the cooking fumes are large, the alarm will be sounded. This frequent sounding will accelerate the aging of the alarm. The correct way is to install the alarm between the kitchen and the bedroom, preferably in the living room. Another advantage of putting it in the living room is that the living room is closer to the bedroom and the residents can hear it the first time they are asleep.

Misunderstanding 3: Purchase alarms from the “workers” who sell on the door

There are now many illegal sales staff posing as gas company employees to sell kitchen gas alarms. Not long ago, an old man was deceived and bought a low-quality kitchen gas alarm at a high price. The result was, "Whatever the gas alarms, the gas does not alarm." Therefore, the experts reminded residents that they should not rely on door-to-door sales personnel. Be sure to purchase the alarm at the location specified by the gas company.
