The stove is one of the most important kitchen appliances in everyday life. In addition to being placed in a closed kitchen, it is not uncommon for people to place the stove in an open room for cooking. In fact, an open room is at risk of making the stove easily wet when exposed to rain.
Although it seems trivial, the condition of a wet stove is actually very risky if used directly without proper handling. When the stove is wet, water can enter important components such as the burner, regulator, or gas pipe. Water trapped in these parts can cause corrosion or other damage that interferes with the function of the stove.
Worse still, the presence of water in the gas system can pose a risk of gas leaks or even explosions when the stove is turned on. This would certainly be very dangerous. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that the stove is completely dry before reusing it.
If the stove is already wet, you also need to dry it thoroughly as YouTube user DapurQu did. Through one of the videos he uploaded, he admitted that a stove that is completely wet due to heavy rain should not be turned on immediately.
"If your gas stove is exposed to light rain and it doesn't last for 10 minutes, it's safe. But if it's exposed to heavy rain and it lasts for more than 10 minutes, it shouldn't be taken lightly," said YouTube DapurQu as quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday (3/10).
Well, the first thing to do to dry the stove is to disassemble all its components, including removing the hose from the gas cylinder. The stove's stove, burner, and burner housing must also be removed, yes. After that, dry all parts of the stove.
Well, this drying position must be done until it is completely dry. If you want it to be fast, you can use a hairdryer. Simply point the hairdryer at the part of the stove that is wet and dry it for 10 minutes. Usually, the points that need to be dried are the nozzle and the gas feed funnel (do not let it touch the magnetic cable) using the highest temperature. In addition, also clean the back of the nozzle for 3 minutes at a low temperature. For other parts, they can be dried manually with a cloth. Not only that, the burner and burner funnel must also be cleaned.
