Because gas-related mishaps and even deaths can be caused by improper positioning, there are several factors to consider when determining where to put things.

Placing combustible materials near a gas burner is dangerous.

Many individuals make the error of placing items on gas stove burners. The safest course of action is to avoid placing anything on the burners of a gas stove and to keep flammable objects away from the gas stove.

The heat emitted by a gas stove burner can ignite nearby objects, particularly those that are combustible. During operation, foil paper wrappings, utensils or jars, plastic, etc. must be kept at least a few feet away from the gas burner.

4. Ignoring gas leakage

A gas leak can result in an explosion at any time if a spark is present. Whenever you discover a gas leak, you should switch off the gas, open all the windows and doors, and find a temporary location to stay.
