in most gas ovens you need to establish the pilot flame first before it allows gas through to the main oven thermostat,
The pilot can be part of the main burner /low flame that heats a sensor that is set to be heated by the pilot flame and as long as it stays red/hot it will hold gas on (flame proving device) and allow gas through to main flame. if you look at the main burner you should see the sensor its got a white porcelain base and the sensor is steel looks like a bent nail that hangs over burner.
make sure its in the correct position leaning into the flame.
otherwise call a registered gas oven repair man good luck
I am not familiar with your model of cooker but I assume it is a gas cooker.
Gas cookers have safety devices in the oven and grill the hob rings do not need. I speculate even the domestic oven hasn't escaped the interference from the electronics industry and I expect the aforementioned safety devices depend on (low voltage) electronics and electronics depend on electricity - that the lights aren't working would suggest there is no (low voltage) electricity.
Even in the case of an electric oven the thermostat could be electronic and need (low voltage) electricity to work.
bloody hell that is so scarey i have the same problem and its round about the same time yours went funny if you have a solution can you let me know as im looking for the answer myself [email protected]
Turn on the gas knob for the oven (below the grill) You will see an ignition button below the one that switches on the oven light,it is clearly marked. Press in and hold the gas knob and press ignite button,you will see the safety bar flame light,when the safe to operate temperature is reached,the oven will stay lit after you release the gas supply knob. Set oven temperate guage (gas mark 4 is approx electric 200 degrees,thats all there is too it Hope that helps [email protected]
Yes very simple. There is a bulb the flame is heating with a small tube that runs to the gas valve this is the saftey sensor that is bad called a thermo-couple , they are common to go out and should be easy to find online. Let me know if you have any other questions.

It sounds exactly the same as I am experiencing on my oven of the same model. My theory is that the full flame gas is controlled by a thermostat, and that this has broken hence why the oven only stays on preheat. This will be a matter of a replacement part. Most likely the thermostat is a bi-metal strip that, because it has heated and cooled so many times in it's life it has simply finally given up. Try searching online for the correct part and get a corgi registered fitter or another suitably qualified fitter to come and replace it.
