How to turn on the oven in a gas stove

Of course, every housewife wants her culinary products to be prepared as quickly as possible. It is the open fire that makes the device unusual.

A brief description of the differences between a separate oven and an oven in a gas stove

In general, both have the same set of functions. But an independent oven has many more modes, so it will consume more electricity. However, its significant advantage is that it can be used for a long time, thanks to modern technologies. During manufacturing, high-quality types of metal such as galvanized steel are used. In addition, there are no problems with choosing a destination, since it can be placed either above the hob or separately.

If you are not insured against periodic, so-called power surges, then you don’t have to worry about it with such a device. It works regardless of the presence of light. In gas ovens, one of the advantages is the high speed of cooking. This is explained by the instant heating of the unit, which makes a gas oven an advantage over an electric one. Products in it can be prepared in various types of vessels. In addition, this equipment can be purchased for a relatively small amount of money.

ATTENTION! Despite the simplicity of the device, you should treat this choice with caution, since there is a high probability of a gas leak or explosion. It is she who lights up thanks to open fire.

How to turn on the oven in a gas stove

Despite the fact that manufacturers who produce equipment at moderate price characteristics provide them exclusively with basic functions. Of course, most ovens have a gas control to shut off gas injection and an audible timer, but the unit must be lit in a strictly proper manner. Such a device can be turned on either manually, independently, or using an electric igniter. These methods are also called automatic switching and semi-automatic.

Let's consider two options at once:

• First, you need to make sure that the stove is connected to the network and check that the device is correctly connected to the gas hose. Then look at all possible diagrams in the data sheet or on the device itself. On this basis, identify the relationship between the burners and their switches, as well as the connection of the hoses. If you have an electric ignition button, try pressing it. Next, open the oven door, look carefully and pull out the metal tray located exactly inside the unit. Most likely, you will see one hole, or two on the sides. It is necessary for the flame to escape from the gas that enters. It is worth holding the gas supply so that it does not accumulate. It is advisable to monitor this as often as possible. Bring a match or lighter to him/her.When the flame begins to appear (this will take about ten seconds, only then the process of arrival and ignition of the substance will begin), wait a little so that it is distributed along the entire length of the burner. Next, carefully close the door. It happens that this small fire goes out due to the closed space. In this case, repeat the above-mentioned shenanigans, but this time hold the flame longer with the door open. REFERENCE! Always keep this equipment clean, otherwise the gas inside it will not burn completely. In addition, the room in which the device is located should be ventilated much more often.
• If you have a gas stove without an ignition button, then you should rely on the following instructions. First you need to turn the burner tap and set the required temperature. Press and hold the gas button. First you need to press the button, which is usually located on the side of the panel, to light the fire. However, if the flame does not appear in the first few seconds, then you should pause the process and wait a while. Then repeat the above steps. It also happens that the electric igniter is faulty. In this case, repairs are required. It is worth remembering that the device is potentially dangerous, so you immediately need to find out what the problem is and fix it immediately. IMPORTANT! It is prohibited to carry out liquidation on your own for any reason. Only gas service specialists are able to identify and remove the breakdown.

Principle

General instructions for turning on, regardless of type:

1. Using a gas cylinder on the pipe, open the tap
2. Select the required temperature
3. Either use automatic ignition or turn the burner valve to light the oven
4. Exercise control over the gas injection process

IMPORTANT! Do not hold the oven door for a long time.

If the stove has been in use for many years, then it is worth leaving a small gap from the unit door itself. One minute after its ignition is enough. This should be done for your own safety. And only after this can the hostess’s culinary works be placed inside, and then press the sash tightly. It is worth remembering that the oven operates using gas. Therefore, he can easily get into the electrical room. You should carefully check for flames during cooking. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire.

If you still have problems turning on the oven, then you should pay attention to the following possible breakdowns:

• It could be that the burner is clogged. The fact is that fire cannot reach the heat control sensor. Consequently, this leads to extinguishing. In such an outcome, the part needs to be cleaned.
• There is also a possibility that the thermocouple is depleted. This occurs because the gas supply to the oven is blocked.
• If various damages occur on the gas tap, then it is necessary to replace the old material with new one.
• Most often it happens when, due to long-term exhaustion of the equipment, the timer becomes inoperable. Symptoms are either periodic shutdown of the equipment or complete shutdown. In both circumstances, you should first check the continuity of the thermocouple, and then the other parts in the sequence with the flame test sensor.
• When heating, and then the oven goes out, you should more carefully adjust the flame to a minimum. The source of the problem is incomplete heating of the fire, which leads to automatic shutdown of the fire.

ATTENTION! There are frequent cases when one of the parts of the burner does not supply a flame. In such situations, it is necessary to turn off the gas supply. Next, refresh the room and continue actions from the beginning of ignition. The stove requires full ignition to operate.

Some modern ovens can be very difficult to light. But on the other hand, they are safer and more functional. The main thing is to follow a certain sequence of actions and pay close attention to this technique.
