se the oven:
- Turn on main gas supply to range.
- Depress oven valve handle & rotate anti-clockwise to the “IGN”
position.
- Depress handle fully. Igniters will continue to spark (click) until pilot
flame has lit. Keep holding for 10-20 seconds after ‘Clicking” has
stopped to wait for the pilot’s thermocouple to heat up. Only a hot
thermocouple will keep the gas valve open.
- Release handle. At this point, the igniters should not longer be
sparking.
- Depress and rotate burner valve handle to desired temperature position.
-
To turn off, rotate burner valve handle to “IGN” position. Depress
handle halfway to move into the “Off” position.
- If using the gas oven for the first time after installation, you will need
to purge the fuel lines of air before the burners/oven will ignite. This
will take up to 2 minutes. The handle must be depressed for this period
of time.
Before using the oven for the first time, it is advisable to switch it on without anything in it at the maximum thermostat
position for 1/2 hour in order to eliminate the smell of fumes due to the composition of the mineral wool used to
insulate the oven and residues from greases applied during manufacture. These odours will disappear after the oven
has been used a few times.
