A couple of years ago my wife decided that the oven is not worth lighting.

My guess is because it's in an enclosed area. There's a chance to build up propane in there (like from a leak) and a "remote" igniter would be deadly. When you open the door to light it you'd know if there's a propane issue. The cooktop burners will vent themselves.

You Must turn to PILOT and PUSH to light, then after holding it for one mintue (LIT) you can turn it up.. That's if it is working properly,, Time may vary.
Yes, I guess pushing would be a problem. Then I'd just leave the darn thing on, which I do anyway.

You really have to get on your knees?

He says it is easier if he lights the burners first, turns them off and then lights the oven. I don't know if there is any reason for this... .
