:-\I picked up an old (1970) camper with a magic chef oven and can't figure out how the pilot is supposed to work. There's no pilot position shown on the control knob. I can light the prelight pilot buy turning the knob to temperature and pushing it in, but it goes out as soon as the knob is turned back. The 76 I had used a knob with a pilot position. Anyone know how this thing works? I can't find a modle number to? research.
Old Magic Chef oven control??

In most of these older ovens you simply keep the gas knob pressed in for awhile, until a sensor in the flame heats up enough to recognise that a flame is present. After that it will stay lit. If the sensor has failed, it won't ever "see" the flame and it will have to be replaced.
