Oftentimes, we find ourselves staring at news articles about how someone’s house got burned because of a stove fire or how someone dies because of an exploding stove. Although this may seem surreal, stove fires actually happen, and when they do, there’s no telling just how to stop them.
Although stoves may seen relatively safe for most people, stove fire usually happens when there is a gas leak or when your stove has been left on. Most victims of stove fires are the elderly although there are also reported cases of young adults perishing in these accidents.
As most people would say, prevention is better than cure. This is the reason why a number of stove and oven manufacturers have come up with various safety devices that would make cooking safer and more secure. One such device that could help save lives is the flame failure device or what s more commonly known as the flame safety device.
Usually, a flame safety device works by controlling the gas supply to your stove. It has a thermocouple which, when heated, continues to stay open. A cooling down of this thermocouple can cause the flame safety device to shut off the gas supply. This way, even if you forget t turn off your stove, you are sure that there is no gas leaking out.
A variation to this flame safety device is one where the shutting off of the gasses happens as soon as the flame is extinguished. This type of flame safety device does not wait for the stove to cool down before it shuts off the gas supply. This is especially recommended for stoves positioned near windows where the probability of the flame getting blown off by the wind is especially high.
Some stoves and ovens already come complete with a flame safety device. If yours does not have this feature, you can get one at your local appliance store or from the shop that sells your particular brand of oven or stove. These shops and centers can also supply you with a replacement should your flame safety device break down.
