The dangers of open kitchens
Once the gas leaks in the open kitchen, it can easily spread to the living room and bedroom and other living areas, which is a potential safety hazard. In the event of an open flame, an explosion will occur, causing casualties and unimaginable consequences.
In addition, incomplete combustion of gas will produce carbon monoxide, because the kitchen does not have doors and windows to effectively isolate from other rooms, carbon monoxide is more likely to spread to the living room, bedroom and cause poisoning and life. Therefore, for safety reasons, the user must install the kitchen door so that the staff can light the fire and ventilate.

2. In order to highlight the design, many decoration companies may recommend "open kitchens". If you need to use natural gas, please choose rationally. In order to maximize the safety of home gas, please do not choose an "open kitchen".
3. If you have any questions, you can call the gas service hotline ******** consult.
