Ignition plug for Prismafood, Hostek and GAM pizza ovens

The ignition plug is a replacement part for the electronic ignition system of professional gas pizza ovens. It produces the spark needed to ignite the pilot flame.

Ignition plug, pilot and thermocouple: essential components

The ignition plug creates the spark that ignites the pilot flame. The thermocouple then detects the presence of the flame and plays an important role in the gas safety system.

If the thermocouple is faulty or does not detect the flame correctly, the safety system may shut off the gas supply and prevent the burner from remaining lit.

For a complete inspection, it may therefore be useful to check:

• the pilot;
• the ignition plug;
• the thermocouple;
• the gas injectors and burner nozzles;
• the electronic ignition button;
• the electrical and gas connections.

Servicing the oven ignition system

When servicing a professional gas pizza oven, checking the complete ignition system can help identify ignition or flame stability problems.

We recommend checking the pilot, ignition plug, thermocouple and injectors together, particularly when the oven has difficulty igniting or maintaining the flame.

Why check the burner injectors and nozzles?

The injectors and burner nozzles control the gas supply to the burner. A nozzle adapted to the type of gas and the oven configuration helps maintain proper burner operation.

Therefore, suitable and correctly adjusted nozzles can contribute to:

• a more stable flame;
• more regular heating;
• consistent burner operation;
• better control of heat distribution.

More regular heating can also help limit significant thermal stress on the refractory stone.

Important: injectors and nozzles must always correspond to the gas type and the oven configuration. Replacement and adjustment should follow the manufacturer’s specifications.

A complete service for the ignition system

When replacing an ignition plug, it can be useful to inspect the other components at the same time. This approach helps ensure that the different parts of the gas ignition and safety system work correctly together.

Compatibility

This ignition plug is intended for professional gas pizza ovens from Prismafood, Hostek and GAM, depending on the model and ignition system.

Before ordering, check:

• the oven brand;
• the exact model;
• the type of gas used;
• the ignition system;
• the dimensions of the original part;
• the connection;
• compatibility with the pilot and thermocouple.
