How to light an oven in a Hephaestus gas stove: ignition rules and operating principles of a gas oven

It is not surprising that the procedure for igniting the oven causes some difficulties for a number of users. It’s just that not everyone had to deal with modern gas stoves. Using older models of gas appliances and electric ovens could eliminate this experience.

Let’s figure out how to light the oven in a Hephaestus gas stove so that owners don’t have the slightest problem in this area. Let's introduce the main and additional functions. As an example, let’s take a unit designed for preparing dishes at home.

In our article you will find useful information about the design and operating principles of this type of household equipment. We will tell you about common breakdowns. You will learn what needs to be done in order not to encounter malfunctions and disturbances in the operation of the oven and the hob itself.

To avoid fire

There are a number of requirements that put forward prohibitions. So, it is strictly forbidden to:

1. Put a faulty gas stove into operation.
2. Install equipment in places where there is an increased risk of fire hazard. As a rule, proximity to wooden surfaces, surfaces covered with wallpaper, and flammable plastic is considered dangerous.
3. Leave the oven on without supervision.
4. Dry clothes over equipment.
5. Use the stove as a heating device.
6. Store items that are easily flammable in close proximity to the gas oven: flammable substances, paper, various aerosols, rags, napkins, etc.
7. Allow children near the oven when it is on.

How to quickly and correctly light a gas oven

Gas stoves have recently been replaced by electric appliances, this is most relevant for large populated areas. Therefore, some housewives, when faced with a gas-powered appliance for the first time, find themselves at a loss. Almost everyone can light the burners, but turning on the oven is much more difficult for them. Therefore, it is worth figuring out how to properly light the oven in a gas stove.

Features of operation

In reality, there is nothing complicated when operating gas stoves. The manufacturer prescribes all the main points in the instructions, but if there are no such instructions, for example, when moving to a new apartment, when the stove was inherited from the old residents, you can use the standard recommendations, which are almost the same for each model.

Based on the principle of its operation, the oven is a potentially dangerous device, therefore, when operating it, it is very important to take into account all the rules of use and safety precautions. In most modern models, lighting gas is not difficult, since there is an electric ignition system, and the oven has a gas control safety system

Red arrow - electric ignition, blue arrow - gas control

But some ovens still require manual lighting. Let's look at the question of how to use the oven in more detail.

Similar instructions

So, in the absence of instructions, you can use the following sequence of actions, which is standard for each model - Hephaestus, Indesit, Darina and others.

1. Initially, it is worth checking that the device is connected correctly to the gas hose and the electrical network (if there is an electric ignition system).
2. Next, it’s worth studying the diagrams that are located on the appliance panel: they will help you figure out which switch is responsible for the burners and which for the oven.
3. If there is no electric ignition for the oven, then you will need to light it with a match or lighter.

By carefully examining the bottom of the oven, you need to determine the location of the holes through which ignition occurs. They can be located on either side or on both sides at once. A lit match or lighter is brought to the hole, while the relay on the panel is simultaneously turned. If there is an ignition button, then the process is a little simpler. The temperature regime is set and the gas supply starts. At the same time, the electric ignition button is pressed. If you fail to light the oven using the automatic button, then you should stop the gas supply and then try to repeat the procedure, but without the automatic button, but using a match or lighter. The electric ignition may be faulty and needs repair.

For your own safety, if the stove is turned on for the first time, you need to wait a while and leave the lid ajar while the burner is on. After a few minutes, place the dish and close the lid.

Some nuances of using stoves of various brands

If, after following the recommendations described above, it was still not possible to light the oven of a gas stove, then the problem may be a malfunction of the stove or individual functional elements. Since gas equipment is potentially dangerous, immediate fault detection and repair are required.

Owners of devices from brands such as Greta, Darina, Gorenje may encounter difficulty in lighting during operation. When you turn on and press the relay, the burner lights up, but when you release it, it stops. This moment occurs as a result of prolonged use when the thermostat fails. Due to the breakdown, it does not detect the temperature in the cabinet, so the fire goes out immediately. Another common problem that consumers encounter is the gas control contacts coming off in the oven. Most often it occurs in slabs of the Indesit and Hephaestus brands.

Elimination of any cause is prohibited to be carried out independently. To do this, you need to call gas service specialists; they will not only determine the cause of the breakdown as accurately as possible, but will also quickly eliminate it.

Main symptoms of a malfunction

Visible signs of malfunction are as follows:

• there is gas flow, but with the standard procedure of pressing the button, the flame does not appear;
• food is heated unevenly: it can burn at the edges and be cold in the center or vice versa;
• the oven does not close or the door does not press well to the base and cannot fully lock;
• immediately after ignition, the fire slowly goes out;
• it becomes impossible to regulate the heat in the oven;
• as long as the handle is held, the gas cannot go out on its own;
• the oven smokes, and the fire emits a yellow-red glow;
• the flame emanating from the burners has different heights;
• the opening of the spirit door occurs with tension, as if it is being held inside;
• With little use, the oven becomes very hot.

Important If one or more of these symptoms occurs, it is necessary to inspect the equipment and identify the malfunction. Gas is a dangerous thing, so if you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to call a specialist to your home

Rules for turning on gas and electric ovens, safety measures

Modern stoves are equipped with reliable safety systems. In addition to them, you must comply with a number of requirements:

• The oven should only be used by adults who do not suffer from disorders associated with distraction.
• If the gas supply is from cylinders, make sure that the hoses and valves are in good working order and that there is no smell of gas.
• Before turning on, the oven door must be held open so that any remaining gas that has accumulated there can escape.
• After each use, the cabinet walls and doors should be cleaned of any food particles or splashes that have fallen on them.
• The state of the flame should be checked periodically. Do not leave the oven turned on unattended.
• The oven should not be left open for a long time when it is turned on. It is completely unacceptable to use it for heating premises.
• When the oven is turned off, you can cool it only with the door closed to prevent children and pets from getting into it.

Under no circumstances should you use a faulty oven. This may result in gas poisoning or fire. If a malfunction is detected, you need to contact a home repairman or service center.

Some features of the operation of stoves of various brands

There are three main plate control systems:

• mechanical,
• electronic,
• combined.

The principle of mechanical and combined control is described above.

How to turn on an oven in a stove with an electronic programmer using the Gorenje brand as an example:

1. The time is set by simultaneously pressing buttons 2 and 3, then + and -.
2. The selection of functions on the clock on a programmer with an analog display is carried out by pressing the “A” button.
3. Press twice to confirm your choice.

How to light the oven in a gas stove Hephaestus, ARDO, Bosch, Indesit, Greta: tips

The Hephaestus gas stove is equipped with a handle that regulates the inclusion at the top and bottom. Turn and select a mode.

Press and hold the thermocouple button for several seconds and at the same time press the electric ignition button with the other hand (a spark or light is shown next to it). If piezo ignition is not provided, use matches.

To use the ARDO electric oven:

1. Select the desired mode using the button or adjusting knob.
2. Light it with a match or electric ignition.
3. They don't close the door for a couple of minutes.
4. Warm up the cabinet for 15 minutes.

The Bosch stove is equipped with a knob for timer, temperature, upper and lower heating. There are models with and without electric ignition. Set the temperature, select the heat, place the dish in the preheated oven and set the timer.

To turn on the Greta oven, turn and press the knob, hold it in this position for 15 seconds, then release. If necessary, no earlier than 1 minute later, repeat the procedure with the oven door open.

Be sure to read:

Find out which oven cleaning is best: catalytic, hydrolysis or pyrolytic

In Indesit models with piezo ignition, just turn the knob towards the maximum temperature and press. In models with manual ignition, you must hold the knob down for 15 seconds, otherwise the oven will not light.

Important elements of the Hephaestus oven

Hephaestus contains elements that are often needed when cooking, namely:

• electric grill;
• turbo grill;
• kebab maker;
• telescopic shelves;
• convection;
• grease filter;
• thermostat;
• double backlight;
• touch timer.

The grill burner is a heater installed on top of the oven. It allows you to fry food without coming into contact with a hot surface. A very useful feature is the built-in timer, through which the time is set. This mechanism can be mechanical in the form of a rotary switch or electronic, set using buttons.

When purchasing any model of oven, you can find instructions from the manufacturer included in the kit, which thoroughly describes how to turn on the Hephaestus oven.

What else could happen

Additionally, I will explain that the absence of a flame or its unstable combustion can be caused by a broken valve. Some models use high voltage relief valves, some use low voltage

It is important to know which valve is in the oven, since outwardly they may look the same. If you install a low-voltage valve instead of a high-voltage one during repairs, you can burn it

There is no need to climb here on your own - this is the work of a master.

If the oven does not want to ignite and all the listed components are working properly, the reason may lie in the gas supply. The problem is easy to recognize - in addition to the lack of combustion, when you turn the knob, you cannot hear a short hiss of gas. If the device operates from a central network, it is better to check the shut-off valve; it is often simply closed. When powered from a cylinder, it makes sense to look at the condition of the gearbox, in case it is also blocked. You also need to check the pressure in the cylinder in case the gas suddenly runs out. If everything is in order, but there is no fuel supply, you should immediately call the gas service. Lack of gas in the system is a dangerous call and can lead to air congestion.

If the oven is operating with a catastrophically low flame pressure, there is an incorrect ratio of the air-gas mixture supplied to the burner. If it is necessary to increase the combustion intensity, adjust the air damper.

Some features of the operation of stoves of various brands

How to turn on the oven in an electric stove? Both the oven and the electric stove as a whole are powerful and also quite dangerous devices. Therefore, each manufacturer tries to make the instructions for them as detailed and understandable as possible.

You should definitely study it carefully before using it for the first time, and use it in the future as needed.

What you should pay special attention to:

It is important to trust installation and connection, as well as repairs if necessary, only to qualified specialists. To cook food in the oven, it is recommended to use special fireproof dishes (cast iron, ceramic, silicone, etc.). The lowest part of the oven is not intended for cooking; if you place a baking sheet or other utensils there, you risk damaging the heater

When setting the temperature, listen to the recommendations specified in the recipe for the dish. After cooking, it is also recommended to ventilate the room from combustion products.

Automatic ignition failure

Often the oven refuses to work due to problems with automatic ignition. There are two common problems that can arise here: no spark or sparking without stopping. By the way, the first malfunction often occurs in Gefest gas ovens.

If the ignition operates continuously, this is caused by a short-circuit of the switch or due to moisture getting inside. In this case, you will have to replace the entire switch. If the spark module breaks, this also requires a complete replacement. It is located inside the back of the device.

If there is a spark, but it jumps, it is worth checking the condition of the arresters with insulators. If the latter are intact, the problem is contamination and the spark goes into the ground. It is permissible to clean the arresters with fine sandpaper, and the insulators with oven detergent or a clean cloth moistened with alcohol. The use of moonshine, cologne, and vodka is prohibited.

Gas oven design and operating principles

A gas oven is a heat-insulated chamber built into the body of a gas stove or located separately with burners inside.

The oven in the Hephaestus gas stove models currently presented by the industry has two burners - the main one, for preparing traditional dishes and baking, and a grill burner for roasting meat dishes.

The oven is equipped with a baking tray, a roasting pan for collecting juice and fat, and a wire rack for placing baked meat, vegetables, and fish on it.

The operating principle of an oven in a gas stove is to heat the air as a result of the combustion of liquefied fuel or natural gas. Gaseous fuel is supplied to the burner and combustion chamber from the network or a gas cylinder.

The TUPA valve regulates the gas supply. It passes through the nozzle and mixes with air, then leaves the nozzle and ignites.

Ignition can be done manually, using matches and an electric lighter, or using an electric ignition built into the design of the gas stove

GEFEST cookers are also equipped with a timer, pleasant lighting in the oven, and a gas control function. This same gas control serves to interrupt the gas supply if it fades. The last function is simply irreplaceable if a draft blows out a weak flame or the fire is flooded by liquid running from the pan.

What is a TUP faucet and how does it work?

The TUP tap is a safety thermostatic device, which is a capillary tube containing a kerosene mixture. There is a small canister on one side of the tube. When heated, kerosene liquid expands and closes the gas path to the burner, and when the temperature drops, it opens it.

The TUP tap has a start button that opens gas access to the oven burner. There are models that have a faucet installed without a button

The TUPA mechanism is hidden behind the stove panel and is controlled by a tap handle, which simultaneously controls the operation of the oven and grill, maintaining the set temperature.

Gas control function in household stoves

Gas control is a useful feature that significantly increases the safety of gas cooking equipment during its operation.

At the same time, it is precisely this that makes it difficult to ignite the stove, and in the event of a breakdown, it makes it completely impossible to use the equipment.

Operating a gas stove with a faulty and poorly functioning gas control system is unacceptable! If a breakdown is detected, you must contact a specialist

Oven taps with built-in gas control differ in different stove models in the number of thermocouples connected to them. A faucet with two thermocouples controls the burners of the oven and grill, while a faucet with one thermocouple controls and starts only the oven.

Thermocouple using the example of a gas burner. For a thermocouple to work, it must heat up for a certain amount of time. Until it warms up, you need to keep the burner tap pressed so that the valve does not interrupt the gas supply

A thermocouple is two wires made of different materials that are fused together in such a way that the junction forms a small ball. When the temperature rises to a predetermined temperature in the work area of ​​the part, a small electrical signal appears.

This weak electrical charge is transferred to the solenoid valve, which as a result opens the gas supply path. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple cools down. Due to a drop in temperature, the signal stops flowing to the valve, which closes the blue fuel supply channel.

Gas burner does not light or goes out

The cause of a malfunction associated with turning on the oven and igniting the burners may be clogging or wear of parts, or failure of the sensor that controls the state of the flame.

Methods for solving a problem problem can be as follows:

• Faulty (tip misaligned, clogged or worn) thermocouple. Leads to insufficient voltage being supplied to the solenoid valve. As a result, it cuts off the gas supply to the oven burner. Replacing the part will help fix the problem.
• Solenoid valve failure. In case of malfunction of the gas valve, the control sensor transmits voltage. However, the valve is not held open - the burner operation is interrupted immediately after the gas valve is released. The valve must be replaced.
• Nozzle clogged. Prolonged use or contact of products with the nozzle leads to partial or complete blocking of the gas outlet channel. To fix the problem, the burner is removed and cleaned.
• Failure of the TUPA crane. The cause of the breakdown may be damage to the rotating mechanism located inside or one of the links in the gear. The part should be replaced with a new one. If the cause is clogging of the turning mechanism of the faucet, it should be cleaned.
• The oven goes out after heating. Poorly adjusted minimum combustion mode, which the oven goes to after the highest heat, causes the flame to be too weak. The control sensor does not warm up sufficiently and turns off the gas supply. A technician can fix the problem; the burner needs to be adjusted.

Gas ovens are not always equipped with a gas control function; sometimes they do not have electric ignition. Therefore, the rules of operation, ignition and the reasons for the extinguishing of the fire must be considered for each model of gas stove separately.

Varieties

The type of grill directly depends on the type of oven. There are three in total: gas, electric and infrared. Let's look at each type in more detail.

Gas grill

This option is found in stoves with a minimum set of functions - gas. For quick heating, the lower part of the oven is equipped with a gas burner, and the grill is located in the upper part. It is necessary to fry a piece of meat on top or brown a pie.

Being located only at the top, the grill in a gas oven does not provide uniform heat distribution, so the food must be turned over to cook on all sides. To facilitate the process, some stove models are equipped with a spit.

Not all gas stoves have a convection function. For good air circulation, you have to keep the oven door ajar while cooking.

If you choose a gas oven with a grill function, you should take a closer look at the following manufacturers:

• Delonghi;
• Beko;
• Bosch.

Electric grill

Electric ovens are equipped with two types of heaters: electric or infrared. Both grills are mains powered. Their main difference is the heating element. In the first case it is an electric coil, and in the second it is a halogen lamp.

In modern devices, the electric grill is equipped with a timer. This option allows you not to control the cooking process, since the device shuts down automatically. There is a fan inside the oven that provides convection for even cooking of food.

Some electric models are equipped with the PerfectGrill function. This oven has two heating elements at once: small and large. The degree of frying of the dish depends on which element is included.

In order not to make a mistake with the choice of equipment, preference should be given to the following manufacturers:

• Asko;
• Gorenje;
• Bosch;
• Hotpoint-Ariston.

Heating modes

An electric oven has more functionality and a range of options than a gas oven.

Therefore, it is important to know how to use an electric oven correctly, getting maximum convenience and benefit from it.

In a gas device, at best, there is only bottom heating and a fan. In an electric one, there can be three heating modes at once - lower, upper and ring.

In combination with a fan, they provide a huge number of cooking possibilities - from defrosting and stewing to frying kebabs and drying crackers.

An electric oven can have three heating modes at once - bottom, top and ring.

Top and bottom heating

The combination of two heating methods at the same time allows you to fry food to the highest quality and at the same time prevent it from burning. With this mode, dishes are prepared very quickly and the result is a fragrant, crispy crust. Suitable for meat, vegetables, potatoes.

These heating modes allow you to quickly fry food on all sides at once.

Top and bottom heating plus fan

These modes, when operated simultaneously, ensure fast and even frying of food. In this case, the heat is distributed evenly throughout the entire volume of the oven.

When both heating elements are turned on at medium temperature, a drying mode is obtained, intended for preparing dry berries and fruits. At low temperatures, this combination is used to heat and defrost food.

With the help of a fan installed in the oven, heat is quickly and evenly distributed throughout the entire volume of the oven.

Bottom heating

This type of heating is suitable for bulky dishes that require a long time to fry. Ideal for cakes or pies. With this option, biscuit and yeast dough is prepared well, resulting in delicious pies, buns, and buns. Once a large cake is cooked, you can “brown” it using top heat.

This function is well suited for preparing a variety of baked goods.

Bottom heating plus fan

This mode allows you to fry large volumes of baked goods well. Thanks to the fan, heat is distributed more evenly. In addition to baking, it is suitable for semi-finished products, fish, and frozen foods.

This heating will allow you to cook large volumes of baked goods.

Top heating

This mode is necessary for frying meat, potatoes, vegetables and fish. Can be used to give a beautiful crust to already prepared dishes. Using this mode, the upper part of the dish is warmed up well and actively, while the lower part does not burn.

The top heating function is suitable for dry baking and drying.

Top heating and fan

This combination is suitable for preparing dry baked goods – cookies, brushwood, crackers, waffles. Products are quickly heated, fried and dried at the same time.

Ring heater and fan

The ring heater is located in the vertical part of the oven around the fan. Its work is necessary both for heating food and for preparing delicate stews - meat in a pot, soups, stewed potatoes and others.

This function in the oven is necessary for heating and cooking delicate dishes.

Ring heater, fan and bottom heating

The combination of these cooking options is suitable for stewing large volumes of dishes, as well as for preparing stewed food.

Ring heater, fan plus bottom and top heating

The maximum combination of heating options gives a good and fast frying. At low temperatures, this option can be used effectively for defrosting and heating food. At medium temperature, this combination will effectively dry meat and mushrooms.

At low temperatures you can quickly defrost and reheat food.

Grill

The oven option is necessary for cooking large pieces of meat, chicken, and kebabs. It browns food well, especially on the top level. This makes the meat soft and tender. The grill makes it easy to cook toast.

You can use the grill to cook meat, vegetables and toast.

Grill and top heat

The cooking method makes it suitable for kebabs, steaks, and large pieces of meat. Gives the meat a crispy crispy crust and creates a “charcoal-grilled” effect.

Grill and fan

With this type of oven operation, the heat is evenly distributed throughout the entire volume of the cabinet and the dishes turn out soft, but crispy. Effective for meat and fish recipes.

With the help of a fan, hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven and the dishes turn out soft but crispy.

Safety precautions when lighting the oven

Regardless of whose manufacturer your oven is, its operation requires compliance with certain safety measures. These include:

• Constant supervision of long-term operating devices;
• Restricting access to the switched-on device for children;
• Regular cleaning after completion of its operation and complete cooling, with preliminary disconnection from the network;
• Use for cleaning only products specifically intended for this purpose;
• Carrying out the cooling process of the device only with the door closed;
• A complete ban on placing and storing flammable substances near the oven;
• Use the device only in accordance with its intended purpose;
• A complete ban on self-repairs, with mandatory contact with a specialist for these purposes.

Following these simple rules can significantly reduce the likelihood of injury when using your oven and significantly extend its service life.

Next, let's look at the basic rules for safely igniting the oven:

1. Before turning on a gas oven, always ventilate it to free the space from possible gas accumulation.
2. Inspect the hoses, periodically check the tightness of their connections, and if necessary, replace the worn one with a new one.
3. Make sure the oven burner is fully ignited. If any section does not burn, turn off the gas supply, ventilate the cabinet and relight the flame.
4. Never leave a working oven unattended, and remember to check for flames through the cabinet door window.
5. Never use the oven while it is on as a heating source. You cannot heat the kitchen using air heated by a burner.
6. Thoroughly clean all surfaces inside the oven after each cooking. Grease deposits and other contaminants can clog the igniter holes or the burner itself, which will cause the flame to burn unevenly or be completely absent during subsequent operation.

The smell of gas or the sound warning of a leak sensor is an alarm signal in which the use of the equipment is prohibited. Ventilate the room and, if possible, find the source of the fuel leak.

You can carry out the initial diagnosis of oven malfunctions yourself if the procedure does not involve disassembling the main components. In other cases, the work should be entrusted to a specialist

It is always worth monitoring the operation of potentially dangerous equipment. Incorrect functioning of any elements should raise alarm bells and become a reason to call a technician from the gas service to carry out an inspection, diagnose the problem and fix it.

To use the Indesit, Gefest, Brest, Greta oven, it is important to remember the safety rules:

• Before turning on for the first time, check that the connection to the gas network is correct.
• Constantly monitor the flame in the Indesit oven.
• Regularly wash and wipe the device from the outside and inside.
• Do not use the oven as a room heater.

Gas stove

Thus

General requirements

Regardless of whether natural gas is used by connecting to a centralized gas system or a cylinder is used, the operating approach is the same.

It is important to remember that gas burners not only give off heat, but also actively burn oxygen in the room where they are installed. During operation, combustion products are released, the most dangerous of which is carbon monoxide.

There are also a number of harmful impurities (nitrogen oxides, formaldehydes, sulfur dioxide and others) that can negatively affect well-being and immunity. These components appear in the air in the event of incomplete combustion of the gas mixture, as well as poor ventilation of the room.

Therefore, before purchasing a gas stove, it is worth exploring the possibility of installing an electric or induction model. Of course, such heating devices will be more expensive, since the cost of electricity often exceeds regular payments for gas. But the quality of life in your own home is hardly worth assessing in terms of money.

If it is not possible to switch to a safe cooking method and you have to use gas equipment, then you must adhere to the following important rules.

Each time after finishing the cooking process, it is necessary to close the tap on the pipe or the valve of the cylinder.

Before leaving the house, check the taps on the stove and on the gas pipe. In the event of an emergency, this will help block the flow of gaseous air into the room. When installing in a private house, allocate a room for the kitchen with a window so that, if necessary, use a source of fresh air in close proximity to the place where the gas is burned. In an apartment with a ready-made layout, try to install the stove closer to the opening of the window or window frame. Determine whether there is access to the ventilation shaft or a place in the external wall into which the air duct can be routed. It is imperative to install a hood above the future cooking area, the area of ​​which will cover the perimeter of the stove. If possible, install a flow-through mechanism for the release of combustion residues (when warm air and burned gas are removed outside the home). If there is no access to ventilation and external walls, then the minimum safe step would be to mount a recirculation model

She will be able to clean the air through a filter system. In the event of unsuccessful culinary experiments, when food burns and a strong smell arises, simultaneously with turning on the hood, you need to open all the windows and organize a draft for the free exit of contaminated particles. After installing a new stove, it is important to check the quality and color of the flame on each burner. Maximum combustion of harmful impurities occurs with a uniform blue flame

If the fire has a yellow tint, then you need to turn off the gas supply and check if there are any obstacles or blockages in the fire supply path. When you cannot detect the problem yourself, it is better to call gas service workers to receive recommendations on the correct operation of the equipment. A yellow tint of the flame is a signal of a problem

Similar help from specialists will be required if you notice a specific smell of gas when the burners are not working. For the safest possible use of gas burners, it is recommended to observe the restriction of continuous operation of two burners for no more than three hours. If you plan to cook a large number of dishes, then you should take at least an hour break with full ventilation of the room. Even if only one burner is working, there is no need to leave other dishes on the stove. It will prevent free air circulation and trap combustion products in the kitchen.

Ways to turn on the oven

There are two main types of ovens:

• Gas. They are cheaper, do not require special utensils, and the prepared dishes have a familiar taste. Food bakes faster in them. They do not waste electricity.
• Electrical. High fire safety, no possibility of explosion. More precisely, they maintain the set temperature. Ideal for baked goods. Characterized by high electricity consumption.

How to properly light the oven in a modern gas stove

Before lighting your gas oven, you must carefully read the user manual

Particular attention should be paid to the section “Safety Rules”

Depending on the configuration of a particular model, it may be equipped with an automatic ignition device or manual ignition. All gas stoves must have safety systems that interrupt the gas supply when the burner flame goes out.

If there is electric ignition, you just need to turn the control knob and press it, turning on the ignition. The knob must be held down for at least 15 seconds. This is done in order to prevent children from accidentally turning on the burner and in the event that someone passing by simply touches the handle.

If the gas stove model is budget and is equipped only with manual ignition, then you will have to arm yourself with matches or a kitchen lighter. The sequence of actions is as follows:

• open the door, wait half a minute;
• free both hands;
• Light a match or lighter with one hand and bring it to the ignition hole
• with the other hand, press and turn the oven switch knob, hold it pressed until the flame appears;
• after a fire, keep the handle pressed for another 15-30 seconds (depending on the stove model) for the safety system to work;
• make sure that the burner operates smoothly, without gusts of flame or pops;
• close the door and warm up the cabinet.

Electric oven

Electric ovens can be built into the body of an electric stove, or they can work as a separate device. They all have similar control systems and safety systems. Using such devices is much simpler than gas ones, since there is no risk of gas leakage, fire or explosion. However, such devices have another damaging factor - electric current. A malfunction of the device can result in either serious injury or fire. Therefore, it is strictly unacceptable to use faulty electrical appliances.

Before turning on the electric oven, you must ensure that it is in good working order. Separately, you need to check that water or other liquid that could cause a short circuit or ignite when heated does not get into the cabinet. You need to turn on such cabinets by turning the knob to the required temperature.

Advanced models require pressing a separate “start” button. Sometimes such a button is integrated into the mode switch. Most electric models are equipped with a timer that turns off the heating after a set time.
