The main reasons for the cracking of the tempered glass panel of the stove top include temperature changes, external impact, placement of high-temperature pots, tempering, excessive openings on the cabinet countertop, and overage use of the gas stove, etc.
1. Temperature changes:
During use, the glass panel of the gas stove will be subject to varying degrees of temperature changes. If the temperature changes too large or too fast, the glass panel may burst.
2. External impact:
The corners of the gas stove glass panel are the most vulnerable points. If hit by sharp and hard objects, especially at the corners, the panel may burst.
3. Placement of high-temperature pots:
Placing high-temperature pots directly on the glass panel will cause the local temperature to rise, causing the glass panel to burst.
4. Backfire phenomenon:
The fire cover of the gas stove is blocked, causing the backfire phenomenon. The flame directly burns the glass panel, causing the panel temperature to be too high and burst.
5. The opening of the cabinet countertop is too large:
If the opening size of the cabinet countertop is larger than the opening size of the gas stove, the tempered glass panel will burst due to long-term hanging stress.
6. Gas stove used beyond its age:
According to national regulations, the safe service life of a gas stove is 8 years. The internal components of a gas stove used over its age are aging and can easily cause the panel to burst.
To prevent the tempered glass panels of your stove top from cracking, you can take the following steps:
1. Buy regular brand gas stove products and choose reliable quality glass panels
2. Avoid direct flame contact with the glass panel and use appropriate firepower
3. Avoid violent temperature changes, especially after using the gas stove, do not rinse it with cold water immediately
4. Clean regularly to keep glass panels clean and tidy to avoid dirt accumulation
5. Avoid external impact, and do not use sharp objects to knock or scratch the glass panel
6. Perform regular inspections and maintenance to ensure that the opening dimensions of the fire cover and cabinet countertops meet the requirements.
Through the above measures, the risk of cracking of the tempered glass panel of the stove can be effectively reduced.
