Instructions on How to Light a Kenmore Gas Oven Pilot Light
- 1). Turn off the gas supply to the oven, by turning the valve for the gas supply to the right to close the valve.
- 2). Open the door to the oven and locate the pilot light near the back. If your Kenmore oven has a broiler compartment, open the door of the broiler to see the pilot light.
- 3). Remove the cap covering the pilot light. Clean off any dirt or residue on the pilot light with a toothbrush.
- 4). Insert a small pin into the gas hole on the pilot light to make sure there are no obstructions. Place the cap back on the pilot light.
- 5). Turn the valve for the gas supply to the left to open the valve.
- 6). Light a long wooden match and hold it over the pilot light. The pilot light should ignite and maintain a small blue flame.
