You should be able to turn the knob and it should light. If it doesn't and it's very old, and you can hear gas flowing, you need to light it with a match when you turn the knob. If it's newer, then the pilot is probably out. You can light it by pushing the red safety button (usually in the left side storage compartment if it's a one-oven stove or under the top of the stove if two ovens) and putting a match to the pilot at the back top of the broiler for the oven and under the middle of the griddle for the burners. You may have to hold the button in for several seconds before it will stay lit.
Yes. I own one of the O’Keefe and Merritt “El Dorado“ model. I don’t know much about the history or it, but I am in the process of having mine restored so I can use it daily.
O’Keefe & Merritt Stove
I have an O'keefe Merritt electric cooktop which was made in 1965 so they were manufacturing at that time. Hope that helps. I need parts. any clues? O'keefe & Merritt went bankrupt and their assetts were bought by the Tappan company in the early 1980's. Tappan discontinued the name and used the factory to produce their ranges.
they're nearly the same - I'd buy based on condition, not brand;or the one that is the most pleasing to your eye..... Thru the years I have had both of these brands of these stoves and I would take an Okeefe & Merritt any day...I just bought one to restore...
