Light it and turn it off
Light it: push, turn slowly, hold 5 seconds
Outdoors only. The manual: never in a building, garage or any enclosed area, and never on or under a balcony or deck. Burning gas makes carbon monoxide, which you cannot see or smell.
- Keep everyone 1 m (3 ft) from the mouth, and do not look into it while you light it (help centre).
- Open the gas slowly at the cylinder.
- Push the knob in and turn it slowly anticlockwise from 12 o'clock towards 9, taking at least 3 seconds (the help centre says about 5) so gas reaches the burner (Essentials Guide).
- It clicks just past 9 o'clock and the burner lights.
- Keep the knob pressed in for 5 seconds after it lights, then let go: the flame safety device needs that long to warm up.
- No flame within 5 seconds: turn the knob off, wait 5 minutes, and try again (the manual).
Max is the line at 9 o'clock; Min is 6 o'clock.
Light it with a match
Outdoors only. The manual: never in a building, garage or any enclosed area, and never on or under a balcony or deck. Burning gas makes carbon monoxide, which you cannot see or smell.
The manual and the help centre, with the matchstick holder that comes in the box.
- Turn the knob off and wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear.
- Put on gloves. Put a match in the matchstick holder and light it.
- Hold it in through the mouth, over the burner at the left of the oven.
- Push the knob in and turn it: the burner should light within seconds.
- Take the holder out, and keep the knob pressed in for 5 seconds in all.
- Then clean the piezo so the spark works next time.
Turn it off, and if the flame goes out
The Essentials Guide.
- Turn the knob fully clockwise to off (line at 12 o'clock).
- Turn the cylinder off (UK: regulator switch back down, level).
- Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder after every use.
- Leave the oven at least 1.5 hours to cool before you move, clean or cover it.
- If the flame goes out while cooking: turn the gas off at the cylinder, disconnect, and wait 5 minutes before you relight.
- Relight as usual, but hold the knob in for 20 seconds.
