2021 Daybreak 22DB Furion Oven Lighting

 16 Aug 20:

There's no way we're going to tell you how to light the oven in the Daybreak 22DB, we had to figure it out ourselves and so will you :) But we'll give you some hints and WARNINGS. DON"T BLOW YOURSELF UP.

WARNING: Open a vent and turn on a fan before turning on propane appliances.

The switch for the fan over the oven is over the sink, under the cabinet.

Open the stove top cover, the vent for the oven comes through the stove top.

So you peek in the Furion manual, you did read the manual, right, and it says to light the oven pilot light. But nowhere does it tell you HOW to do that. Turning on the oven light helps a bit for the next steps, rocker the switch down. 

The pilot light is hidden at the back of the oven, to the right side of the burner. By the white ceramic probe. Here is a photo with the pilot light lit and the burner lit.

So you turned the oven knob to the flame position, pushed it in and rotated the igniter and nothing happened? What we read was that it takes 20-30 seconds for air to purge out of the line, so the videos we saw were showing folks holding the knob in for that period and then getting the oven pilot to light. That seems like a long time to us, so what we found was we could light the aft left stove burner first to get air purged from the system and gas flowing to the stove, it seemed to charge the system and we didn't have to do the 20-30 second Sword of Damacles routine to light the oven pilot. If you try it once, don't go over 30 seconds. If there is no lighting of the oven pilot, turn ALL the gas off for the stove and oven and call Mother Thor or Father Furion. 

WARNING: Read the Furion manual for the oven lighting steps for after the oven pilot is lit.

Once the oven pilot is lit it helps to let the pilot burn for 30 seconds or so, then go to 450F and let it burn there for a short period to  ensure steady gas flow. Ensure the entire burner is lit and then set you can reduce temp to set the desired oven temp. Turn off the stove burner. Let the oven preheat a good 20-30 minutes and enjoy your pizza.

Please read all instructions in your oven's manual and contact the manufacturer or Thor RV Tech Team if you have any questions, propane is not something to play with. 

Stay Smart Out There!
