The uneven flame of gas stove is a common problem in many families, which not only affects the cooking effect, but also may lead to gas waste and safety risks. When the flame is yellow rather than uniform blue, it means that the gas is not fully burned and may produce harmful substances. In fact, most of the flame uneven problem, through a simple self-examination can be solved.

(1)、 identification of flame anomaly

1. Characteristics of normal flames

Normal gas stove flame should be uniform light blue, flame height consistent and stable. The color of the flame indicates that the gas is well burned, has high thermal efficiency, and produces the least harmful substances. When the flame remains in this state, on behalf of the gas and air mixture ratio to achieve the best state.

2. The manifestation of abnormal flame

When the flame appears red or yellow with an unsteady beat, it usually means it is not burning well. This may be the gas and air mixing ratio is not appropriate, fire hole blockage or abnormal gas pressure and other factors. After long-term use, the overflowing liquid or oil will plug the fire hole, affecting the uniform emission of gas, resulting in uneven distribution of flame.

(2)、basic inspection

1. Check the condition of air source

For Liquefied petroleum gas users, when the cylinder is about to run out of gas, the flame will become small and weak due to insufficient pressure or excessive residual liquid in the cylinder. A new cylinder should be replaced at this time. Pipeline gas users need to confirm whether the gas meter is running properly, whether the valve is fully open.

2. Gas Path inspection

The unobstructed nature of the gas intake line is also critical. Check the connecting hose for bending, compression or aging to ensure that the gas flow is not hindered. At the same time, make sure that the cooker is placed smoothly and the bottom vents are not blocked to ensure an adequate supply of air for combustion.

(3)、 firearm cleaning

1. The impact of firearm clogging

The blockage of the fire hole in the distributor is a common cause of uneven fire. The overflowing liquid or oil in daily cooking will block up these tiny fire holes and affect the uniform emission of gas, resulting in abnormal distribution of flame.

2. Cleaning methods and procedures

The most direct and effective way to solve this problem is to remove the distributor and clean it thoroughly. The steps are as follows:

Place the dispenser in warm water, add a small amount of neutral detergent, and soak for 5-10 minutes to soften stubborn stains. Use a toothpick or fine needle to gently remove clogged fire holes. After cleaning, thoroughly scrub the surface and interior of the distributor with a soft brush to ensure that each fire hole is unobstructed. Rinse and completely dry the distributor before reinstalling.

(4)、 throttle adjustment

1. The working principle of the damper

The throttle controller at the bottom of the gas stove is the key component to adjust the mixing ratio of gas and air. By adjusting the damper opening, the air flow rate can be changed, thus affecting the combustion efficiency and flame state.

2. Adjustment methods and techniques

The correct adjustment method is: open the gas stove, observe the state of the flame, while slowly dialing throttle adjustment piece. Adjusting the throttle properly can increase the amount of air intake, so that combustion more fully, the flame from red to blue. Adjust the process to be patient and careful, after each fine-tuning observe the flame changes, until a clear and stable blue flame.

(5)、 handling of special circumstances

1. Situations requiring professional maintenance

When the problem persists after basic inspection, cleaning, and throttle adjustment, a more professional solution may need to be considered. For example, gas stove service life is too long may lead to the aging of internal components, affect the normal combustion.

2. Safety precautions

Problems involving gas lines and pressure must be handled by professionals. If a gas leak is suspected, close the valve immediately, open a window for ventilation, and contact the gas company or a service professional. Do not disassemble or repair gas pipelines and equipment by yourself to avoid safety accidents.

(6)、 preventive measures

1. Daily cleaning and maintenance

Regular cleaning is the best way to prevent uneven flame. After each use, wait until the cooker cooling, with a soft cloth to wipe the sub-firearm and fire cover, to prevent oil accumulation. Once a month for a thorough cleaning, gas stove can maintain the best working condition.

2. Use habit suggestions

Avoid over-overflowing the pan. When cooking to prevent liquid food spills, if there is spillage should be cleaned immediately, to avoid oil into the fire caused by plug hole. Also, use appropriate cooking utensils and keep the bottom of the pan dry to prevent water dripping from the Didi Hole.

Conclusion

Through the systematic implementation of the above methods, the problem of uneven flame in most gas stoves can be effectively solved. Take a few minutes on a regular basis to maintain the gas range, not only to ensure the cooking effect, but also to ensure family safety. If the problem is complex or involves a gas line, be sure to contact a professional.
