Method for starting a firing device, in particular when it is not ignited for the first time, in particular a gas burner, in the event of unknown general conditions, a starting air ratio as a function of the burner temperature being stored for the firing device in a memory, a characteristic known from empirical determinations, the starting process being calibrated , whereby the ratio of the opening of the gas valve (w) to the air quantity $ I1 required for ignition is determined interactively by varying the gas and / or the air quantity and in the case of ignition the firing device is started and the appropriate air ratio (lambda) SUB IGNITION /SUB is saved.
