My sister has recently purchased a new gas cooker.
Unfortunately, her husband, who very rarely cooks, took one of the oven racks out to reposition it but not realising that it has to be slotted back between the guides positioned it on top of one of the two sets of guides.
The result was that as soon as he put his casserole dish on the shelf it tipped back causing much of its contents to spill down the back of the oven and all over the burners.
Last night I tried to clean it, a task made far more difficult by the fact that the burner slot at the bottom of the oven is "protected" by a diagonal (45 degree) angled piece which is part of the actual lining, and have managed to get all the burners working again but i am unable to ignite it using the ignition switch.
I am thinking that the ignition system, located next to the burners, may still be blocked but, as this is not, in any way, my field of expertise I really do not know what to look for and, being perfectly honest, which bit is actually the ignition system.
Although I am able, by getting my head right to the back of the oven, to see the burner slot that diagonal bit makes getting a good view of everything almost impossible.
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated!
