How to identify the risk of gas leakage by smell when using Gas Range?

Gas Range provides an efficient cooking experience for modern kitchens, but its potential gas leakage risk cannot be ignored. As a professional brand that has been deeply involved in the field of kitchen appliances for ten years, ShengZhou GeXiang Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. always puts user safety first. From the perspective of scientific detection and prevention, this article analyzes how to identify gas leaks by smell and shares practical solutions for safe use of gas equipment.
"Smell code" of gas leaks: the warning effect of ethyl mercaptan
Natural gas itself is colorless and odorless, so gas supply companies will add ethyl mercaptan (Ethyl Mercaptan) as an "odor marker" to make it emit a pungent smell similar to rotten eggs or sulfur. When you smell such an odor when using Gas Range, you need to do the following immediately:
Turn off the gas valve: quickly turn off the Gas Range switch and the main gas valve to avoid continuous gas leakage.
No open flames and electrical operation: Do not ignite, plug in or unplug the power supply or use a mobile phone, static sparks may cause explosions.
Ventilation and evacuation: Open doors and windows for ventilation, and contact professionals for repair after evacuating to a safe outdoor area.
Note: If the smell is intermittent, it may be a small leak caused by loose pipe joints or aging of rubber hoses, which needs to be checked as soon as possible.
Auxiliary detection methods other than smell
To improve the accuracy of judgment, the following methods can be combined for verification:
Soap water detection method: Apply soap water to leak-prone points such as Gas Range pipe joints and valves. If continuous bubbles appear, it is a leak.
Gas meter reading method: Turn off all gas equipment and observe the gas meter. If the number continues to change, there is a leak.
Electronic alarm linkage: Install a gas concentration detection alarm, which will automatically sound and cut off the gas source when the concentration exceeds 1%.
