Like any other appliance, gas cookers may encounter some problems from time to time. Here are some common problems and practical solutions on how to fix them:

PROBLEM 1: “my gas cooker has failed to ignite”

SOLUTION: 

• Check if the gas supply is turned on
• Ensure the ignition switch is clean and free from debris 
• Check to be sure the connection between the gas cylinder’s host and the cooker itself is right.
• If it continues then it may be a faulty switch or the gas cylinder needs reconnection. 

• Check if the burner caps and bases are correctly aligned
• Clean any clogged burner holes using a small brush or pin
• If this continue then it may be an issue with the gas pressure regulator. You’d need professional assistance 

PROBLEM 3: “I just walked in, I think there’s a gas leak. I can perceive a strong gas odor”

SOLUTION:

• First and immediately, turn off the gas supply 
• Open the windows for ventilation 
• Do no turn on any light switch, torch light, or open flames 
• Reach out to a gas technician to check the leak
