• Ensure proper ventilation around the oven to prevent excessive heat buildup.

7. Кыйынчылыктарды

• No Glow: If the ignitor does not glow, check electrical connections. Ensure power is supplied to the oven. The ignitor itself may be faulty, or there could be an issue with the oven's control board or wiring harness.
• Glows but No Ignition: If the ignitor glows but the gas does not ignite, the ignitor may not be reaching sufficient temperature to open the gas valve. This could indicate a weak ignitor (even if new), a faulty gas valve, or an issue with gas supply.
• Weak Glow: A weak or intermittent glow from the ignitor can prevent proper ignition. This often indicates a failing ignitor or insufficient voltage.
• Газдын жыты: If you smell gas without ignition, immediately turn off the gas supply and power to the oven. Do not attempt to light the oven. Ventilate the area and contact a qualified service technician.

Always consult a qualified appliance repair technician for diagnosis and repair of complex issues.
