Closing the gas cylinder valve when not in use is one of the safety principles that every family using a gas stove must know. However, even if you have used a gas stove for many years, not everyone knows whether to close the gas valve before or after turning off the stove.

Closing the gas valve before or after turning off the stove?
The answer to this question is to close the gas cylinder valve and then turn off the stove.

The reason: When you cook, gas will move from the tank through the pipe, wire and then to the burner. After the gas in the tank is locked tightly, a certain amount of excess gas will still remain in the pipe. This amount of gas has gone out of the tank and if not used up, it can cause a fire or explosion when the right conditions arise.

This way ensures that all gas in the pipe is consumed, helping to avoid waste and ensuring safety, without sudden flare-ups when turning on the stove next time.
