  If the burners on your Defy Oven won't light, several factors could be at play. Ensure the gas pipe isn't twisted, bent, or kinked and that the burner components are clean and dry. If you're using a gas cylinder, check if it's empty and replace it if needed. Also, make sure the burner caps are correctly fitted, and the gas pressure regulator is open. Finally, ensure you're following the correct lighting procedure.
