How to light an oven in a Gefest gas stove: ignition rules and the principle of operation of a gas oven

To avoid a fire

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

1. Putting into operation a faulty gas stove.
2. Install equipment in places that are characterized by an increased risk of fire hazard.As a rule, the proximity to wooden surfaces, surfaces covered with wallpaper, as well as combustible plastic is considered dangerous.
3. Leave the stove turned on without supervision.
4. Dry laundry over appliances.
5. Use the stove as a heating device.
6. Store in the immediate vicinity of the gas oven items that are easily flammable: combustible substances, paper, various aerosols, rags, napkins, etc.
7. Allow children to turn on the stove.

How to quickly and correctly fire up a gas oven

Gas stoves have recently been replaced by electrical appliances, this is most relevant for large settlements. Therefore, some housewives, when faced with a gas-powered appliance for the first time, are 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.

Operation features

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

According to the principle of its operation, the oven belongs to potentially dangerous devices, therefore, when operating it, it is very important to take into account all the rules of use and safety precautions. In most modern models, it will not be difficult to ignite the gas, since there is an electric ignition system, and the gas control safety system is located in the oven

Red arrow - electric ignition, blue arrow - gas control

But some ovens still need to be ignited manually. Let's deal with the question of how to use the oven, in more detail.

Similar instruction

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 the correct connection of the device to the gas hose and the electrical network (if there is an electric ignition system).
2. Next, it is 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 from a match or lighter.

When 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 both at once.
A lit match or lighter is brought to the hole, while the relay on the panel turns simultaneously.
If there is an ignition button, then the process is a little easier. The temperature regime is set and the gas supply starts. At the same time, the electric ignition button is pressed.
If it was not possible to light the oven using the automatic button, then it is worth stopping the gas supply, and then try to repeat the procedure, but without automation, but with a match or a lighter. It is possible that the electric ignition is defective and needs to be repaired.

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 when the burner is on.After a few minutes, place the dish and close the lid.

Some nuances of the operation of plates of various trade brands

If, when following the above recommendations, it was not possible to ignite the gas stove oven, then the matter may be a malfunction of the stove or individual functional elements. Since gas equipment is potentially dangerous, immediate troubleshooting and repair is required.

Owners of devices of such brands as Greta, Darina, Gorenie may encounter difficulty in kindling during operation. When the relay is turned on and pressed, the burner burns, and when you release it, it stops. Such a moment becomes the result of prolonged use when the thermostat fails. Due to a breakdown, it does not determine the temperature in the cabinet, so the fire immediately goes out. Another common problem faced by the consumer is the release of gas control contacts in the oven. Most often, it occurs in the plates of the brands Indesit and Hephaestus.

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

The main symptoms of a malfunction

The visible signs of a malfunction are as follows:

• there is gas flow, but with the standard procedure of pressing the button, the flame does not appear;
• heating of food occurs unevenly: it can burn at the edges and be cold in the center, or vice versa;
• the oven does not close or the door is poorly pressed against the base, cannot be fully fixed;
• 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 by itself;
• the oven smokes, and the fire at the same time emits a yellow-red glow;
• the flame emanating from the burners has a different height;
• the opening of the spirit door occurs with tension, as if it is being held inside;
• The oven gets very hot during low operation.

Important
If one or more of these signs occur, 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, then it is better to call a master at home

Rules for turning on gas and electric ovens, safety measures

Modern stoves are equipped with reliable security systems. In addition to them, it is necessary to comply with a number of requirements:

• The oven may only be used by adults who do not suffer from distraction-related disorders.
• If gas is supplied from cylinders, make sure that the hoses, valves are in good condition, and that there is no smell of gas.
• Before switching on, the oven door must be held open so that the remaining gas accumulated there can escape.
• After each use, the walls and door of the cabinet must be cleaned of food particles and splashes that have fallen on them.
• The condition of the flame should be checked periodically. The oven must not be left unattended.
• The included oven should not be left open for a long time. It is absolutely unacceptable to use it for space heating.
• When the oven is switched off, it is possible to cool down only with the door closed to prevent children and pets from getting into it.

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

Some features of the operation of plates of various brands

There are three main slab control systems:

• mechanical,
• electronic,
• combined.

The principle of mechanical and combined control is described above.

How to turn on the 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 choice of functions on the clock on the programmer with an analog display is carried out by pressing the "A" button.
3. Pressing twice confirms the selection.

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

The gas stove "Gefest" is equipped with a handle that regulates the inclusion at the top and bottom. Turn and select 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, a light is shown near). If piezo ignition is not provided, matches are used.

To use the ARDO electric oven:

1. Select the desired mode with the button or the adjusting knob.
2. Ignite with a match or electric ignition.
3. Do not close the door for a couple of minutes.
4. Warm up the cabinet for 15 minutes.

The Bosch cooker is equipped with a timer, temperature, top and bottom heat knob. There are models with and without electric ignition. Set the temperature, select the heating, put 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, not earlier than after 1 minute, repeat the procedure with the oven door open.

Be sure to read:

We find out which oven cleaning is best: catalytic, hydrolytic or pyrolytic

In Indesit models with piezo ignition, it is enough to turn the regulator towards the maximum temperature and press. In models with manual ignition, it is necessary to keep the knob pressed for 15 seconds, otherwise the oven will not light up.

What else can happen

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

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

You don’t need to climb here on your own - this is the work of the master.

If the oven does not want to ignite and all of the listed components are working, the reason may lie in the gas supply. The problem is easy to recognize - in addition to the absence of combustion, when the knob is turned, there is no short-term hiss of gas. If the device is powered by a central network, it is better to check the shut-off valve, it is often tritely blocked. When powered from a cylinder, it makes sense to look at the state of the gearbox - suddenly it is also blocked. You also need to check the pressure in the cylinder, the gas suddenly ran out. If everything is in order, and there is no fuel supply, you should immediately call the gas service. The absence of gas in the system is a dangerous call and can lead to air.

If the oven is working, the flame pressure is catastrophically small, there is an incorrect ratio of the air-gas mixture supplied to the burner. If you want to increase the intensity of combustion, adjust the air damper.

Some features of the operation of plates of various brands

How to turn on the oven in an electric stove? Both the oven and the electric stove in general are powerful and also quite dangerous appliances. Therefore, each manufacturer tries to make the most detailed and understandable instructions for them.

It must be carefully studied before the first use, and resorted to in the future as needed.

What you should pay special attention to:

It is important that installation and connection, as well as repairs, if necessary, be entrusted only to qualified specialists. For cooking in the oven, it is recommended to use special refractory dishes (cast iron, ceramic, silicone, etc.). The lowest part of the oven is not intended for cooking, placing a baking sheet or other utensils there, you risk ruining the heater

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

The oven is lit with a match or electric ignition.

If there is no electric ignition button on the panel, then:

1. Open the oven door.
2. Turn the gas supply knob - a characteristic output noise will be heard.
3. At the bottom in front there is a hole in which a burner is visible - a match is brought here (long matches for a fireplace are convenient for this purpose).
4. Close the door.

For the grill to work you need:

1. Press and turn the oven and temperature selector switch to the right.
2. Press the electric ignition button or use matches.
3. Lock the switch for 10 seconds.

A skewer can be provided to ensure uniform roasting of large pieces of poultry and meat. Rotisserie device - frame, metal part with forks and screws and removable handle.

When using the grill, leave the door ajar.

Meat or fish is wrapped in foil, whole chicken - on a skewer (if any).

Vegetables are placed on a baking sheet, greased with oil and placed on the very top. Cook for about 5 minutes.

Product cleaning and maintenance

To prolong the operation of the gas oven and prevent its breakdowns, regular preventive maintenance should be carried out.
Do not neglect the instruction manual for the product, it is important to follow it clearly. Meals should be cooked according to the recommended temperatures for them.
It is important to know the design of the gas oven components, follow the instructions for washing and lubricating the connecting elements.
After cooking, clean the walls and bottom of the oven from burning. All dirt and food debris must be removed immediately.
Observe safety precautions when using a gas oven

Do not leave the stove unattended, do not make the ignition modes so large that are not described in the instructions.
In order for the internal parts of the oven to remain intact, not to oxidize, after washing the oven, you need to dry them well or wipe them dry.
For washing, use only high-quality household chemicals, as cheap products will spoil the inner coating: they can harden the seal, destroy the enamel, or scratch the glass of the door (read about glass damage and repair here, and how to repair the doors is described here).

Ovens are considered reliable appliances. If the device is broken, the help of the master is not always required. Some faults can be fixed by yourself.

Breakdown of automatic ignition

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

If the ignition works continuously, this is caused by a short circuit of the switch or is a consequence of moisture getting inside.In this case, the entire switch will have to be replaced. 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 matter is pollution and the spark goes into the ground. It is permissible to clean the arresters with a fine sandpaper, insulators - with an oven detergent, a clean cloth moistened with alcohol. It is forbidden to use moonshine, cologne, vodka.

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 Gefest gas stove models currently presented by the industry has two burners - the main one, for cooking traditional dishes and pastries, and a grill burner for baking meat dishes.

The oven is equipped with a baking sheet, a roaster for collecting juice and fat, a grate for placing baked meat, vegetables, fish on it.

The principle of operation of the oven in a gas stove is to heat the air as a result of the combustion of liquefied fuel or natural gas. The supply of gaseous fuel to the burner and the combustion chamber is carried out from a network or a gas cylinder.

The TUPA valve regulates the gas supply. It, passing through the nozzle and mixing with air, then exits the nozzle and ignites.

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

GEFEST stoves are also equipped with a timer, pleasant lighting in the oven, and a gas control function.This very gas control serves to interrupt the gas supply in case of its attenuation. The last function is simply indispensable if a weak flame blows out with a draft or the fire is flooded with liquid escaping from the pan.

What is a TUP crane 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, the kerosene liquid expands and covers the gas path to the burner, and opens it when the temperature drops.

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

The TUP 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 greatly increases the safety of gas cooking equipment during its operation.

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

Operation of a gas stove with a faulty and poorly functioning gas control system is unacceptable! If a breakdown is found, contact a specialist

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

Thermocouple on the example of a gas burner. For a thermocouple to work, it must heat up for a certain time.In the meantime, it has not heated up, you need to keep the burner tap pressed so that the valve does not interrupt the gas supply

A thermocouple is two wires of different materials that are fused together in such a way that the junction forms a small ball. When the temperature rises to the part set in the working area, 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 the drop in temperature, the signal ceases to flow to the valve, which closes the blue fuel supply channel.

Varieties

The type of grill depends on the type of oven. In total, there are three: gas, electric and infrared. Let's consider each type in more detail.

Gas grill

The 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 needed to fry a piece of meat on top or to brown a pie.

Being located only at the top, the grill in a gas oven does not provide an even distribution of heat, so the product must be turned over to fry on all sides. To facilitate the process, some stove models are equipped with a skewer.

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

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

• Delonghi;
• beco;
• Bosch.

Electric grill

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

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

Some electric models are complemented by the PerfectGrill function. Such an oven has two heating elements at once: small and large. The degree of roasting of the dish depends on which element will be 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.

Oven Lighting Safety

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

• Permanent supervision of a long-running device;
• Restriction of access to the included device to children;
• Regular cleaning after completion of its work and complete cooling, with a preliminary disconnection from the network;
• Use for cleaning only products specially designed for this purpose;
• Carrying out the process of cooling the device only with the door closed;
• A complete ban on the placement and storage of flammable substances near the oven;
• Use of the device only in accordance with its intended use;
• A complete ban on self-repair, with the obligatory appeal to a specialist for these purposes.

If you follow these simple rules, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of injury when using your oven and significantly extend its life.

Next, consider the basic rules for safe ignition of the oven:

1. Before turning on the 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 worn ones with new ones.
3. Make sure the oven burner is fully ignited. If any segment does not burn, turn off the gas supply, ventilate the cabinet and re-ignite the flame.
4. Never leave a working oven unattended, do not forget to check the presence of a flame through the window of the cabinet door.
5. Never use the switched on oven as a heating source. It is impossible to heat the kitchen with the help of air heated by the burner.
6. Thoroughly clean all surfaces inside the oven after each cooking. Fat deposits and other contaminants can clog the holes of the igniter or the burner itself, due to which the flame will burn unevenly or will be completely absent during subsequent operation.

The smell of gas or the audible alarm of the leak sensor is an alarm in which it is forbidden to use the equipment. Ventilate the area and, if possible, find the source of the fuel leak.

The primary diagnosis of oven malfunctions can be carried out independently if the procedure does not involve disassembling the main components. In other cases, the work must be entrusted to a specialist.

It is always worth monitoring the operation of potentially dangerous equipment.Incorrect functioning of any elements should be alarming and become a reason for calling a master from the gas service to inspect, diagnose the problem and fix it.

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

• Before switching on for the first time, check the correct connection to the gas network.
• 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 space heater.

In the video, a gas company specialist talks in detail about the correct and safe use of modern ovens.

Ways to turn on the oven

Ovens come in two main types:

• Gas. They are cheaper, do not require special utensils, cooked dishes have a familiar taste. Food cooks faster in them. They don't waste electricity.
• Electrical. Great fire safety, no possibility of explosion. Precisely maintain the set temperature. Ideal for baked goods. Characterized by high power consumption.

How to properly and light the oven in a modern gas stove

Read the user manual carefully before starting your gas oven.

Particular attention should be paid to the section "Safety Rules"

Depending on the configuration of a particular model, it may be provided 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.

In the presence of electric ignition, it is only necessary 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 touched the handle.

If the gas stove model is budgetary and is equipped with only 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;
• release both hands;
• light a match or lighter with one hand, bring it to the ignition hole
• with the other hand, press and turn the knob for turning on the oven, hold it pressed until the flame appears;
• after a fire, keep the knob pressed for another 15-30 seconds (depending on the stove model) so that the security system works out;
• make sure that the burner works smoothly, without gusts of flame and pops;
• close the door and warm up the cabinet.

Electric oven

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

Before turning on the electric oven, you must make sure that it is working properly.Separately, you need to check that water or other liquid that can 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 predetermined time.
