 2. The stove should not face a window so as to avoid the penetration of light. It is unlucky. 

3. Avoid placing the stove above a drain that is running across. Water and fire do not mix.

 4. Avoid sharp corners facing the stove. For example, when a table is diagonally opposite the stove and the sharp corner of the table is facing the stove. It affects the health of the family members negatively.

 5. Avoid the wind. It is for this reason that your stove should not face a window. The wind could extinguish the fire and cause gas leakage. It’s dangerous. 

6. The wall and the floor in the kitchen should be tiled. As Chinese cooking is oily so it is important to maintain the cleanness of the kitchen

7. Install a hood above the stove to suck up the smoke created by cooking. If you can’t you can install an exhaust fan instead. 

8. Keep the kitchen tidy by having a built-in kitchen cabinet to store items. 

9. When the stove is at a window on the west-facing the settling sun, it is unlucky and the health of the family is jeopardized.
