Safety Guidelines
Your Safety is our Concern
We want you to enjoy benefits of Natural Gas, the gas which is convenient, clean and versatile fuel. But like all fuels it must be handled wisely to ensure its safety and efficiently.
Precautions for daily operation
- Do not tamper with any component of the gas connection
- Always close the main control valve if you are not going to be home for a day or more
- Always use standard ISI mark stoves and burners
- Always ensure that the hot utensils or liquids are not in direct contact with your rubber tube
- If you can smell gas or doubt a leakage, do not ignite a match or lighter
- Gas leakage / gas escape can be easily detected due to its peculiar smell or odour
- It is safe to wear cotton apron or cotton clothes during cooking
- It is always safer to ignite a match first, and then to switch on the gas supply
- Periodically keep checking the rubber tube for any cuts, damage
- In case the gas flow in your house or area is stopped, inform the Company immediately
- When you turn on your gas again after a long duration, make sure all the doors and windows of your house are opened
- Don't ever cover the rubber tubes and regularly clean them with a wet cloth
- When you are cooking, make sure that you do not leave the burner or stove unattended
- Once you complete your cooking, make sure you close the burner knob and gas tap
- If the gas supply stops suddenly, close the knob and open all doors and windows. Only once there is no smell of gas should you turn on the stove again
- Never use a sari to lift any utensils from the stove
- Keep children away from the gas stove and gas connection
Never store combustible or explosive/ flammable items in the kitchen

- Allow the burner to dry up. Clean the burner head in the similar way. Clean the burner head with a hard brush
Do's
