The stove

Before starting either the oven or the cooktop, ensure that the stove is supplied with propane.

Starting the oven

  1. Open the smaller door below the oven door. (This door is hinged at the bottom. To open it, first lift the door vertically; then you should be able to swing it open.)

  2. Turn on the oven.

  3. Light the pilot light by holding a lit match to the back of the ignition chamber.

  4. Turn off the oven. The pilot light should remain lit.

Starting the cooktop

In theory, the burners on the cooktop are supposed to ignite automatically. In practice, this does not always occur. To ignite a burner manually, hold a lit match near the burner and turn the corresponding knob.
