Starting a gas oven is a relatively simple process, but it is important to follow the steps carefully to avoid any accidents. Before starting the oven, make sure that the oven racks are in place and that there is nothing inside the oven that could catch fire.
To start the oven, first locate the gas valve. This is usually located near the bottom of the oven, behind a small door. Turn the valve to the “on” position. You should hear a clicking sound as the gas starts to flow into the oven.
