Let's consider the brand models in more detail.

Installation
To put the gas stove in the chosen place, it is necessary to comply with the existing safety standards and regulations. Installation is carried out by the appropriate service. Do not place the product on a stand. When installing the device, they retreat 1 cm from the wall. Combined models are installed, retreating 1.5 meters from the water supply and sink, heating systems and sewerage. Installation of the product is carried out last, after all construction work.
The connection diagram includes several stages.
- Preparing for installation. Although it is undesirable to connect the stove with your own hands, you still need to know how to prepare the room for the installation of this household appliance. Natural and artificial ventilation (exhaust) is required. Almost all products have an oven light function, so a grounded socket should be available nearby. Flama appliances are mostly combined, that is, burners operate on gas, and the oven is electric. In the case of buying such a model, you need to make an electrical connection using a cable.
- Purchase of the necessary parts. Currently, regulations require the use of a flexible hose. There are three types: rubber, with a metal sheath and bellows. According to current standards, it is better to use the latter, as it is the safest. The next necessary thing is a dielectric insert. If a hose with a metal braid was used for connection, the dielectric insert is an integral part, since it blocks the flow of the stray current from the riser to the plate. Finally, a ball valve is needed.
Usually there is a petal crane on the descent to the device, it is advised to immediately replace it with a ball valve. It is easier to use and safer.
After all the necessary preparatory work has been completed, you can call the wizard. But if you still need to install the product yourself, you should adhere to a certain scheme.
- Free the product from the packaging material, remove all additional elements.
- Place the stove in the chosen place, observing the distance from the walls and the gas pipe, following the instructions in the instructions for use.
- Level the work surface horizontally.
- Connect the device to the gas pipe with a hose. In this case, the thread is wrapped with a dense tape and tightened with a wrench. When connecting a pipe and a hose, use the gasket that comes with the pipe.It includes a fine mesh that retains dust and contributes to a longer product life.
- Check the system for gas leaks. For this, a soap solution is used. Foam is applied to the joints, the gas supply is turned on. If foam bubbles at the joints, then this place is additionally sealed. If bubbles do not appear, then the stove is installed correctly.
Then you can light the oven and the cooking zones to check their functioning.
Operating rules
Compliance with safety precautions when using the stove is extremely important. Any gas leak can lead to tragedy, as the substance explodes easily. The operating rules are the same when connected to both gas and a cylinder.
Main rules:
- the room where the cooking appliance is located must have ventilation;
- after cooking, it is necessary each time to turn off the gas on the stove or the cylinder valve;
- leaving the dwelling, it is imperative to check whether the burner taps are closed, whether the gas on the pipe is shut off;
- if breakdowns or gas leaks are found, you must immediately call specialists.
Before using the equipment, you must read the instructions for its operation. If a person has not used this type of equipment before, then first he needs to find out how it ignites.
For the appearance of a flame on the stove, you need to perform simple actions:
- open the gas supply valve located on the pipe or the gas cylinder valve;
- turn on the burner and light the fire.
The last action can be done in different ways: using matches, using an electric ignition or a lighter (but not gas). Electric ignition for Flama stoves is usually a button. First you need to provide a spark, and then turn on the burner. The burner valve is opened with light pressure in a clockwise direction.
When switched on, the flame should have a blue tint. It should also be distributed around the circumference of the entire burner. If fire gets inside, you must turn off the stove and try again. The flame should not be too high. The level is adjusted with a tap handle.
It is worth remembering that if a window is open in the room, and the wind is blowing strongly, then the flame will tend to break away from the burner, as it were, and this is fire hazardous.
