Gas safety first
Any work on gas pipes, jets, valves, thermocouples or burners must be carried out by a qualified, registered gas engineer (Gas Safe registered in the UK, or the certified equivalent in your country). These videos are for guidance only and do not replace the manual for your oven.
If you smell gas: turn off the supply, ventilate the area, avoid any flame or spark, and call your gas emergency service.
