Gas Pizza Oven - Heat issues

I bought a Gasmate Gas-powered Pizza Oven from a garage sale on the weekend It was in near new condition, everything was there and together. Nothing wrong, no panels, screws etc missing. It might as well been brand new. I used a brand new gas bottle, and there were no gas leaks or blockages. It fired up as expected with nice large flames coming out of the jets. There appeared to be no issues regarding flames, blocks, gas leaks, lack of fire heat, etc. There are two issues with it 1) It took nearly an hour to heat up to 150 degrees, despite the product description claiming "Heats up and ready to go in under 10 minutes" and the cooking tips brochure instructing "Before use: preheat the oven for at least 5 minutes, this will bring the temperature to around 200C" 2) The thing won't go above 175. Again, the cooking tips brochure for this product instructs "Before use: preheat the oven for at least 5 minutes, this will bring the temperature to around 200C" which implies it should do well over 175 degrees. There appears to be no heat leaking, except out of the chimney, which does not differ to that which is in the shop I understand I could fill the cavitys with insulationor heat bricks, however as stock standard it should be able to heat up to 200 degrees celcius in 5 minutes Greatful if someone could assist The product full description and manuals can be found at http://www.gasmate.com.au/uploads/Prods/11/PizzaOven_A5_Final%20LR.pdf

Many of the Pizza ovens require ceramic plates that line the bottom surface of each oven. These ceramic plates absorb the heat and retain the temperature. I never used our ovens with a bare lower surface, always applied the plates for even heat and distribution.

Testimonial: "We have tried this with 1, 2 and 3 of the heat plates with no change/improvement."

SOURCE: Natural Gas, convection oven won't heat.

If the gas valve is on(no continuity) then yeah that is it, keep in mind the ignitor could be weak. I didn't notice where you replaced the ignitor and you say it is working so that means the gas valve has continuity. You need 37 ohms on that ignitor or a total amp draw of at least 3.5 to open that valve.I have a video: HERE

SOURCE: Amana Oven ARG7800E - Oven will only heat up to 150 degrees.

u sure the flame is lighting sounds like it isn't make sure u physically see the flame u might just be seeing the glow of the igniter if it doesn't light more than likely the igniter needs to be replaced

SOURCE: oven heats to 185 degrees in a hour on preheat

Find the bake ignitor (you may need to remove bottom drawer or oven cavity floor to get to the ignitor). Turn on the bake. If the bake ignitor comes on (starts glowing after a few seconds) - check the amperage on the bake ignitor wires when it's on. If the ignitor is a round style - amperage should be 2.5-3A, if the ignitor is rectangular - 3 - 3.6A. If less than 2.5A or 3A respectively - replace ignitor.
Ignitor part numbers for round style ones: 4342528, WB2X9154, SGR403, 5304401265;
rectangular styles: 12400035, WB13K21, WB2X9998, SGR412, NR020, 5303935066, 814269, 9753108.
Ignitors of the same shape (i.e. rectangular) are interchangeable, if you can splice the wires.

Good luck!

How do I start the oven? I want to cook a pizza

Open the oven and make sure it is empty nod one rack is near the middle level. Turn the knob that says OFF to BAKE. Then turn the knob with all the numbers to the temperature that Theo Sri toons on the box tell you to use. Allow the oven to heat up for 10 minutes. It may beep when it is up to temp or a red light will turn off to let you know it is ready. Put the pizza in the oven on middle rack. Take it out according to box instructions ( usually 8 to 15 minutes). That pizza out by sliding it onto a plate. Turn off the oven and eat the pizza. If it is not done completely, leave it in longer next time. Enjoy

Why does food get hard after cooking or reheating in a microwave

It's basically a loss of moisture during the cooking process, to avoid this in a standard oven cook on a lower temp for longer and cover with foil....in the microwave, drop the power setting and always reheat or cook with the food cover with a microwave safe cling wrap or microwave specific cookware with lids.
Hope this helps.

Whirlpool oven heating element

Are you trying to replace the stove top element, or oven element? For the stove top element, just lift up the side opposite where it plugs in and pull straight out.

The oven element usually have one or two screws holding a plate in near where the elements go into the back of the oven. Remove the screws and pull straight out. Reverse the procedure to install a new element. The top broil element will be secured in with a couple brackets to hold it up, these must be unscrewed, removed, and then pull the broil element out.

Remember to turn off power to the range before replacing any of the elements.
