Safety precautions when lighting the oven

No matter how you light the flame in the oven, you should always follow specific rules for safe operation. Interacting with gas is always a risk, so you should be extremely careful to eliminate the likelihood of an emergency.

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

Before turning on a gas oven, always ventilate it to free the space from possible gas accumulation.
Inspect the hoses, periodically check the tightness of their connections, and if necessary, replace the worn one with a new one.
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.
Never leave a working oven unattended, and remember to check for flames through the cabinet door window.
Never use the oven while it is on as a heating source. You cannot heat the kitchen using air heated by a burner.
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.

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.

Safety precautions when working with a gas oven

Gas is a source of danger. It is highly flammable, can accumulate unnoticeably (you can identify it by smell) and accumulate into an explosive volume. You must work with it carefully, observing all the necessary safety measures, no matter how simple or advanced the stove model is in the kitchen.

Gas may accumulate in the enclosed space of the oven. Therefore, before lighting the oven, it must be ventilated.
During operation, the flame should be around the entire perimeter of the burner; there should be no empty spaces. If there is such a problem, you can ventilate the oven and relight it. If it doesn't help, you need to call a specialist.
You should periodically check the oven while it is running to ensure that the flame burns evenly.
Using the oven to heat the room is strictly prohibited.
On your own or with the help of specialists, regularly inspect gas hoses and all their connections for leaks. You can use soap foam the old fashioned way. Specialists use gas analyzers.
The oven must be constantly tidied up: to wash away food residues and deposits. This is a question not only of cleanliness and beauty, but also of safety. The fumes can clog the gas vents and the oven will not operate properly.
If you smell gas or the gas alarm goes off, it is prohibited to use the oven or any other sources of open flame; this is dangerous. The room must be ventilated, the source of the leak must be found and eliminated.

Oven care

If there are malfunctions in the operation of a gas oven, you can check it yourself (without disassembling the elements and connections) at a primitive level. In difficult, incomprehensible situations, it is necessary to call a specialist.

If a gas stove is used incorrectly or breaks down in any way, it becomes a source of danger. Therefore, its condition and work must be constantly monitored, without leaving it unattended.

Safety precautions

If the smell of gas is detected, the use of fire and electrical appliances is strictly prohibited until the room is completely ventilated and the leak is eliminated. The oven burner has a large area, so when blue fuel is supplied, it quickly fills with a large amount of gas-air mixture. If the burner does not ignite within 3 seconds, you must turn off the gas and ventilate the oven.

When lighting the oven, it is important to ensure that the burner ignites completely. If one of the parts does not burn, you must also turn off the gas supply, ventilate the oven and re-ignite

How to turn on the oven?

Currently, you can find several types of ovens on the market. The most common of them are gas and electric. Today we will find out how they turn on.

How to turn on an electric oven

A modern housewife, undoubtedly, could not do without an electric stove. They almost completely replace their gas counterparts, as they are considered less dangerous, and food cooks faster on them, as it heats up evenly. But first you need to figure out how to turn on the oven.

The advantageous difference between an electric oven and a gas oven is that you do not need special lighters or matches to turn it on. Plug, socket, preferably normal voltage (the brochure for the appliance must indicate at what network voltage it is unacceptable to use the oven) - almost turned on!

Before use, be sure to read the operating instructions and flip through the technical data sheet for the electric stove. So, you can avoid many problems in matters of its operation and maintenance. The instructions state in black and white that the main purpose of the electric oven is to prepare a variety of products from all kinds of products - dough, meat, vegetables, etc.

Electric oven device

Electric ovens consist of an outer, outer casing, as well as a heat-insulated chamber. It includes a casing and base.

The chamber contains either quartz or halogen heaters with different powers (usually the power of these four heaters is 0.3-0.5 kW). The glass door closes the heating chamber.

Some models include a timer, thanks to which housewives can set the time required to prepare a dish and calmly do other things, without worrying that the dinner will burn or not finish baking. When the time is up, a beep will sound and the oven will immediately turn itself off. The oven is turned on as follows:

We plug in the electric stove.
Set the thermostat knob to the required temperature for baking a particular dish.
Load the pan with food once the set temperature has been reached.
When the cooking process is completed, install the thermostat knob.
In position “0”, remove the plug from the socket.

How to turn on the oven in a gas stove

As electric stoves are increasingly used, many may become confused or simply forget how to turn on a gas oven. There will be no difficulties, especially if you have the instructions and technical data sheet of the stove at hand.

The difference from an electric oven is the need to use not electricity, but gas, respectively, an open fire for cooking. If the stove does not have electric ignition, you can use simple matches or a lighter.

Gas oven device

More often, a gas oven consists of one burner in the form of a curved tube with holes for fire or two burner tubes on the sides. If you open the oven door and look closely under the bottom iron tray, you will see one or two ignition holes.

Turn the burner tap and set the required temperature.
Light a lighter, a match.
Bring it to the burner opening and wait until the flame spreads throughout the entire burner. Then you can close the door.

Remember that with gas you need to be especially careful and not allow the flame to go out while the burner remains on!

How to properly turn on the built-in oven

Manufacturers producing such products tend to equip the device with various functions. The main mode is considered to be gas control, which serves to turn off the gas supply, as well as an audio timer. However, the device must be lit in a certain sequence. There are several ways to turn on the oven:

manually (semi-automatic);
using an electric igniter (automatic).

If the stove is equipped with an ignition button, it should be turned on in the following sequence:

check the connection to the electricity supply;
We carry out a visual check of the gas hose connection;
carefully study the connection diagrams specified in the technical data sheet;
the relationship of the burners with the switches is determined;
the hose connection is checked;
the electric ignition button is pressed;
the door opens;
The metal tray located inside slides out.

After pulling out the tray, several holes located on the sides will open. The flame generated by the incoming gas emerges through them. To prevent it from accumulating, you need to maintain a certain gas supply. This needs to be constantly monitored.

A burning match is brought to the hole. The flame will appear after about 10 seconds.
After the flame appears, the process of continuous gas supply will begin and it will ignite.
To ensure that the flame evenly covers the entire burner, you need to wait a few seconds.
Then the door is carefully closed.

Sometimes a small fire can go out because the door is closed. You will have to repeat the above process, but you will need to hold the flame longer with the door open.

Good to know! A gas oven requires constant maintenance. It must be kept perfectly clean. Otherwise, complete combustion of the gas will not occur. The room where the device is used must be constantly ventilated.

If there is no ignition button in the gas stove, it is necessary to strictly follow the technological sequence of ignition.

First, the burner tap turns.
The required temperature is set.
The gas supply is turned on; to do this, press and hold a special button.

To light the fire, first press the button located on the side of the panel. If the flame does not appear immediately, you need to pause the operation and wait a few seconds. Then repeat the above steps.

Sometimes the electric ignition can fail. The product needs to be repaired. Since a gas oven is a dangerous product, it is necessary to immediately find out the cause of the malfunction. Immediately begin eliminating the breakdown.

Very important! It is strictly prohibited to independently repair any breakdown of gas equipment. Only gas service workers can determine the breakdown and eliminate it.

What to do if a problem is detected?

It happens that the problem of weak gas supply and flame extinction is caused by accumulated grease on the electric ignition or regulator. By cleaning them from contaminants, you can eliminate this problem. Also check the spark plug; if the holes are clogged, the flame crown will be small or smoky.

It may be worth monitoring whether oxygen is entering the oven. To do this, check that the oven door is closed tightly.

Many, noticing that something is wrong, wonder: what is wrong and how to fix the stove themselves? However, if you encounter any problem that requires appropriate qualifications, it is better not to try to fix the stove yourself. Such intervention without the appropriate skills and knowledge is fraught with big problems.

If you yourself do not have the necessary tools and knowledge to fix problems, then calling a specialist will be the best solution.

If your gas stove has not passed the warranty period, then call the service center of the company where you purchased the equipment. If the warranty period has expired, then call a qualified specialist from other companies in your city. The technician will be able to professionally fix all problems and tell you how to care for the stove.

How to turn on an electric stove

Electric stoves are much easier to turn on than gas stoves.

In classic electric stoves, the burners and oven are turned on using controls located on their front panel. The same regulators also change the degree of heating. As a rule, each regulator has four fixed positions, starting from position “0”, at which the burner or oven is completely turned off, and ending with position “3”, at which maximum heating is carried out. Typically, the control knobs are turned clockwise. In order to turn on such a stove, you just need to turn the handle corresponding to the burner you need in the indicated direction and set it to the desired position.
In the most modern stoves with touch control, turning on and selecting a mode is carried out by simply touching the desired buttons.

How to turn on the oven in an electric stove?

Electric ovens are considered a less dangerous analogue of a gas oven, because... when they are turned on, no open flames (matches, lighters) are used. Lately, many housewives have given preference to just such ovens, due to the fact that food cooks much faster, since the oven warms up from all sides.

Before using the equipment, it is better to read the instructions and technical data sheet of the oven. To turn it on, you don't need any special lighters or matches. First, inspect the condition and serviceability of the cabinet. Next, include this way:

We connect the electric stove to the network, through an outlet
Set the required temperature
When the oven is heated to the desired temperature, load the products that need to be cooked
Upon completion of the cooking process, return the thermostat to position “0” and remove the plug from the socket.

It is advisable to choose uniform heating from above and below for cooking. This mode is ideal for baking, roasting fish and meat. Many modern devices have several modes, one of which is strong heating of the lower heating element and standard heating of the upper one.

Equipment at medium and high prices is equipped with a fan on the rear wall. It is used to heat food evenly. Typically, the technique is used for baking whole pieces of meat and fish.

The bottom heating mode is necessary for creating dishes that are topped with fruit or cheese to prevent burning. It is suitable for heating prepared foods. Top heat is used to create succulent dishes. The Indesit gas stove with gas oven is equipped with several modes that allow you to cook different foods.

Some types of equipment have low heating, in which both heating elements operate. The mode is suitable for defrosting food and drying food. Modern appliances are equipped with a grill mode, with which food can be cooked as if it were roasted over a fire.

How to light an oven in a gas stove? – ExpertByt

When purchasing household appliances, many housewives are faced with the common question of how to choose a gas stove for the kitchen? This equipment is one of the most popular due to its efficiency, ease of use and operation, as well as low cost.

Despite the widespread use of electronic ovens, gas devices are no less popular. Gas is much cheaper than electricity, so the cooking process will be more profitable. And in the event of an unscheduled power outage, equipment owners will be able to put on a kettle or cook lunch.

In addition, many old houses are not equipped with high-quality electrical wiring that can withstand the power of electrical equipment, which usually reaches 7-8 kW. Therefore, in such conditions, installing an oven operating using gas is the only possible solution.

Features of operation

A gas-powered oven is a potentially dangerous kitchen appliance, so it is important to comply with certain requirements when operating it. In many modern models, lighting the burners is not difficult, since they are equipped with electric ignition, and the oven is equipped with a gas control safety system

However, some housewives still have difficulties with how to light the oven in a gas stove. Typically, when purchased, all devices are supplied with an instruction manual, which allows them to be used efficiently, reliably and for the longest possible time.

Before first use and throughout operation, it is important to follow all recommendations contained in this document.

The instructions describe in detail the entire process of how to light the oven in a gas stove.

But if you have equipment at home that has already been used or there is no documentation for it, it is important to use the standard recommendations of many manufacturers:

Before trying to turn on the device, it is important to check that the connection to the gas pipe and to electricity is correct (if you have an electric ignition system). Each switch and lever on the control panel is responsible for a specific set of functions and ignition of the burner

Typically, to light the fire in the oven, one switch is used for lower and upper heat; When equipping the equipment with an electric ignition system, it can be presented in the form of a separate button, which must be turned on together with the switch, or built into the relay itself. In the second case, it will operate every time the lever is switched; With an automatic burner ignition system, to turn it on, you will need to press the relay, select a certain temperature range and hold it for some time. Usually it takes no more than 3-5 seconds, then release. In the absence of this additional function, each time you will need to simultaneously bring the hot match to the burner while pressing the lever. If there is no gas supply when carrying out the above actions, everything must be repeated again; To increase safety, when trying to light a previously used device, you should hold the door open for some time. To do this, just leave a thin gap; after heating, you can put a dish in the compartment and close the door tightly.

The nuances of using equipment from different brands

If you have completed all of the above steps, but still do not know how to turn on the oven on a gas stove, the reason may lie in the breakdown of this household device or the failure of certain important internal elements.

Since such equipment is potentially dangerous, it is important to eliminate it in time.

Many owners of the Darina, Gorenja and Greta stoves encounter difficulties when turning on, in which when you press the regulator, the fire appears, but when you lower the relay, it immediately goes out.

This problem occurs as a result of long-term operation of the device, during which the thermostat located near the burner fails.

It cannot detect the heating of the surrounding air temperature, so the fire constantly goes out.

Most often, such a breakdown occurs on the Hephaestus and Indesit plates.

To eliminate these malfunctions, it is necessary to call specialists from the appropriate service department, who will be able to determine the presence of breakdowns and carry out quick and high-quality repairs.

You should not carry out similar measures yourself, as this can lead to a dangerous situation - the spread of gas throughout the room, fire or explosion.

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.

Possible problems

Gas equipment repair specialists say that the owners of gas appliances from Elenberg and Druzhkovka most often deal with breakdowns of the electric igniter.

Symptoms of a problem

In some cases, the gas burner may not turn on or go out. The cause is often worn or clogged parts. Also, the burner may go out during cooking or immediately after releasing the adjustment knob, which is due to a malfunction of the gas control function. Sometimes the fire may go out after the oven has warmed up. In this case, you need to contact a specialist to diagnose the thermocouple and solenoid valve.

Gas control in a gas oven

Causes of malfunction

If there is a problem with turning on the oven, the reasons may include the following breakdowns.

Failure of the flame control sensor (thermocouple). In this case, the solenoid valve does not receive enough voltage, and it cuts off the gas supply to the oven.
Failure of the electromagnet. In this case, the sensor is working, it provides voltage, but the valve is not held open.
The nozzle in the burner is clogged. To fix it, you need to remove the burner and clean the nozzle.
The burner is clogged. In this case, the fire does not reach the flame control sensor (thermocouple), which leads to its extinguishing. To eliminate the malfunction, you need to remove the bottom of the burner and make sure that there is no fire at the location of the thermocouple, and then clean the part.
Broken gas valve. This may damage part of the internal turning mechanism or one of the links in the gear. In any case, the part must be replaced.
The oven works, heats up and goes out. A possible reason is an unregulated minimum flame, which the oven switches to after maximum heating. If this mode is not adjusted, the thermocouple does not warm up, which means the oven turns off.
Timer fault. The contacts in it may become sour (inside or outside), which is why the oven does not work or periodically turns off. In this case, the serviceability of the thermocouple and the outstanding voltage are first checked, and then the timer and other parts from the circuit with the flame control sensor are checked.

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.

Built-in oven – meat temperature control

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.

Safety regulations

Ignition of the flame can be carried out in two ways, which directly depend on the functional features of the equipment model itself. It depends on them how correctly the housewife can light the gas oven in her kitchen.

The methods for lighting a fire in the oven are as follows:

Electric ignition of the oven is common to many modifications and is more convenient and safer, since it does not involve direct human contact with the burner.
Manually igniting a flame requires some skill. But models of stoves or ovens with a similar principle of igniting fire usually cost slightly less.

The algorithm for operating different ovens will be slightly different. Let's consider the features of use in more detail.

Turning on the oven using automatic ignition is quite easy and quick.

To do this you just need to take a few simple steps:

turn the gas supply tap, setting it to maximum;
press and do not release the electric ignition button;
after the flame appears, release the ignition button after 5-10 seconds.

If after these manipulations the fire does not light or the burner does not work correctly, you need to stop the fuel supply and open the oven door for ventilation. After a couple of minutes, you need to try to ignite again.

The automatic ignition button for a gas oven is usually located on the stove panel next to the temperature regulator for the oven

The need to hold down the auto-ignition button lies in the oven's safety system. The gas control sensor needs a certain temperature and time to properly monitor the operation of the equipment.

Additionally, holding is intended to protect the device from producing unwanted sparks if the button is pressed accidentally. After briefly pressing this button, you can set the temperature level required for cooking a specific dish.

You can also light the gas in the oven manually. Even if the cabinet is equipped with electric ignition, situations may arise when this option will not work. Therefore, even owners of modern technological models should understand how to light an oven in a gas stove with matches.

The process looks like this step by step:

ventilate the oven for a few minutes and locate the pilot hole;
bring a burning match or lighter to the igniter;
turn the gas supply relay and hold it until the flame flares up;
after ignition, do not release the feed handle for 15 seconds so that the security system responds correctly to turning on the oven;
If the flame in the burner is produced stably, without separation or sparks, you can close the door and warm up the cabinet for subsequent cooking.

To find the igniter window, carefully inspect the bottom and sides of the oven when it is turned off. Most often, the required hole is located at the bottom of the cabinet or on its walls. If the oven is equipped with a gas grill, you should look for its burner on top.

A gas grill is another way to get an incredibly tasty crust on meat, to thoroughly bake the dough for a pie or fluffy biscuit.

For ignition, it is better to use long fireplace matches or a special lighter with an extended nozzle. This will protect your hands from burns and maximize the distance between the burner pilot and your hand.

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

Before turning on a gas oven, always ventilate it to free the space from possible gas accumulation.
Inspect the hoses, periodically check the tightness of their connections, and if necessary, replace the worn one with a new one.
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.
Never leave a working oven unattended, and remember to check for flames through the cabinet door window.
Never use the oven while it is on as a heating source. You cannot heat the kitchen using air heated by a burner.
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

You must understand that if the stove has an electric oven, then old electrical wiring, which has cross-sections, will not be suitable for its full and proper operation. Undoubtedly, an important point is the choice of gas hose. For a stove with an electric ignition function, you need to purchase a white hose with a yellow stripe. Be sure to inspect the hose. You must exclude a possible gas leak

It is also important that all connections between the stove and gas pipes are securely fastened and tightened. The gas stove must be level. To do this, you need to adjust the legs that are located at the bottom.

If you are installing a hob, it is important that it sits level. Pre-measure and level the place where it will be installed.

After you have done everything described above, you will need to check the stove for operation in all available modes.

All of the above rules will help you quickly and correctly install a gas stove with electric ignition. If after installation you have any problems or doubts, you need to immediately seek help from specialists who, in turn, will be able to identify the malfunction and prevent a number of very unpleasant and life-threatening consequences.

Therefore, it’s worth learning how to start the oven once, so that you can easily pamper your household with mouth-watering culinary masterpieces of any complexity. Do you agree?

In this material we will understand the principles of operation of gas ovens, talk about ways to ignite a flame in them and the safety precautions that must be observed when operating such equipment. We will supplement the material with visual photos and thematic video recommendations.

Possible breakdowns

Turning on the oven is not always successful. This can happen for several reasons:

The burner may be clogged. In this case, the heat control sensor does not work, since fire does not reach it. As a result, the flame goes out. After thoroughly cleaning the part, the stove will turn on easily.
Severe thermocouple depletion. The reason is large interference with the gas supply to the oven.
If the gas valve is mechanically damaged, it must be replaced. This part cannot be repaired.
The timer often fails. The reason is the long-term use of the product. The main symptoms of such a breakdown are periodic shutdowns or complete shutdowns. To detect a malfunction, first check the continuity of the thermocouple. Then the condition of other parts associated with the sensor that checks the flame.
If, after heating, the oven begins to go out, you need to adjust the flame to the minimum position. This problem arises from insufficient heating of the fire. As a result, the flame automatically turns off.

Important! Quite often there are cases in which the flame does not completely engulf the burner. In one part it is missing. In this situation, it is necessary to stop the gas supply. Then ventilate the room, repeat all operations, starting from the initial stage of ignition. For the oven to function properly, it must be fully ignited.

Manufacturers produce different models of ovens. Some are very difficult to set on fire. However, their advantage is complete safety and great functionality. It is very important to follow the technological sequence of operations and treat such devices carefully.
