Lighting the Pilot Burner of the Oven
The Gas Oven burner is fitted with an individual standing pilot, which allows the main burner
to be turned ON or OFF without the need to manually re-light the burner each time that it is
turned OFF, as the burner will be automatically lit by the pilot burner.
Flame Failure Protection is incorporated for the burner by way of a thermo-electric system
which will shut off the gas supply to the burner in the event that the pilot burner flame goes
out, so that un-burnt gas is not expelled to the surroundings.
1.
Depress the oven gas control knob and turn it counter-clockwise to “PILOT”.
2.
While the knob is depressed, light the pilot burner using the piezo igniter. Once the pilot has
been lit, hold the knob depressed for 10-20 seconds after lighting the pilot burner. This is to
give ample time to heat up the thermocouple, and allow gas to flow into the gas valve.
3.
Release the knob after 10-20 seconds. The pilot burner should stay lit, if not, repeat Steps (1
to 3 above).
4.
If pilot burner was extinguished during normal operation, wait for 5 minutes before lighting it
up again.

Lighting the Main Burner of the Oven
1.
Full flame can now be achieved by depressing the knob a little and turning it counter-
clockwise to the desired temperature.
2.
When the set temperature is achieved, the burner flame will diminish, but will not extinguish,
to maintain the set temperature. When the temperature inside the oven falls to a certain
degree, the flame will increase to reach the set temperature.
3.
The oven gas control knob can be set to temperatures between 100°C and 300°C. The oven
can also be set to “broil” by turning the knob further counter-clockwise.
L.
Turning “OFF” the Main Burner of the Oven
1.
To turn off the main burner, but keep the pilot burner lighted, rotate the oven gas control knob
clockwise to “PILOT” position. Notice that the main burner will extinguish and the pilot will
remain lit.
2.
It is recommended to turn “OFF” the main burners during idle periods, but let the pilot stay lit.
M.
Turning “OFF” the Pilot Burner of the Oven
1.
To turn OFF the pilot burner, rotate the gas control knob clockwise to “OFF” position. Notice
that the pilot burner will extinguish.
