Hi everyone, after years of camping I have finally gone to the dark side and bought a static van. ------ And what a change !!! -- it is brilliant !!!
Anyway, I have encountered a problem with the cooker and was hoping that there may be someone out there who may be able to enlighten me on what the problem may be.
The cooker in the van is a Vannette 5000 WL and everything on the top of the cooker such as the burners and grill work fine, but when I tried the oven, it appeared that there is no gas coming through. -- Is there something I need to do before gas comes through or is there some kind of "secret" method that I need to try in order to light the oven ? (apparently it worked fine for the previous owners !!!!)
Yes, for up to a minute and listening for gas but still cant hear owt !!! (mind you, I have turned it to the gas gradients eg. 1,2,3,4,5 --- I even took the front off the cooker and cleaned all the switches and cheched that the oven switch was turning)
Definate.... mind you, just had a thought .... I have just had to replace the gas bottle as the last one ran empty so I am wondering if it might be a pressure related problem ?
(I haven't tried it since I changed the gas over !!)
found this on the web,take care with gas please.if you dont know what you are doing get a corgi reg guy in.

I lost gas to my ovens and discovered that it was because the automatic timer had inadvertently been set, i.e. because the timer was set to turn on at 16:00, then it prevented me turning the oven on manually before that. I cancelled the timer and all was well.

Some double ovens have solenoids fitted so if you have no electricity the ovens wont work (hobs dont have solenoid that is why they still work but probably wont ignite from spark (just use matches)
