• If an all gas range oven is in use and the power goes out, should the oven be turned off and then back on?
• Is it okay to leave the oven on and use the oven during a power outage?

Answer:

If an oven on a Wolf Gas Range is left on during a brief power outage, the ignitor senses gas flow and ignites the burner once power is restored.

• If the oven does not reignite, turn the oven knob to off, and then back on to reignite.
• For safety purposes, it is recommended that the oven be turned off during a power outage, regardless of length.
• This ignitor requires electricity to start, and therefore there is no way to manually light the oven.
• Wolf only recommends lighting gas surface burners when without power.
• Do not attempt to light gas ovens without power. Refer to Lighting Gas Burners Without Power for more information.
• There is no safe way to use a gas oven without power.
