Glem Gas cookers repair
Book a technicianIn Egypt you will find 5-burner, 90 cm models such as the NE9612RIFSG with self-ignition, safety and a grill. The gas oven lights differently from the hob burners, which explains many complaints that the oven will not stay lit.
Lighting the oven, from the manual
Open the oven door fully first. Then press the oven knob and turn it to maximum, keep pressing until it lights, and hold for about 10 seconds after it lights. If it does not light within 15 seconds, release the knob, leave the door open and wait at least a minute before trying again, so the gathered gas can clear. Check the steps against your model's manual.
If you smell gas: close the valve or cylinder, open the windows, do not switch any electrical switch on or off or use a lighter, leave the place and call the gas emergency line 129, and do not use the cooker until a technician has checked the connections. The cooling fan that starts a few minutes after the oven is switched on is normal.

Common cooker faults4
The flame goes out when you let go
ModerateOn the hob or oven: it lights while you press and goes out once you let go.
Possible causes
- Not holding long enough
- A dirty thermocouple or one out of the flame
- The thermocouple or safety valve
Solution: Keep the knob pressed after lighting as described above, so the thermocouple has time to heat up. Clean the thermocouple tip and seat the cap. If it still goes out, the thermocouple or safety valve needs checking.
Ignition not working
EasyNo spark, or clicking without lighting.
Possible causes
- The cooker is not plugged in
- A wet or greasy electrode
- The ignition unit
Solution: Dry and clean the electrode, and check the plug. If there is no spark anywhere, the ignition unit needs checking.
Yellow or lifting flames
ModerateYellow flames that blacken pans, or flames lifting off the burner.
Possible causes
- Injectors not matched to the gas type
- Gas pressure
- Blocked holes
Solution: Clean the burner holes with a dry brush and seat the caps properly. A yellow flame means incomplete combustion, so keep the kitchen ventilated until it is fixed. If the cooker moved from a cylinder to mains gas or the reverse, the injectors must be changed, which is a technician's job.
The grill or oven does not heat well
ModerateFood cooks slowly or on one side.
Possible causes
- The oven thermostat
- A blocked oven burner
- The door seal
Solution: This needs inspection. First check the door closes properly.
