The igniter is located on top of the Flame diffuser at the back of the oven cavity, but the diffuser is connected to the burner below it by a fastener which is basically inaccessible, and the burner does not seem to be removable, such as sliding out of an orifice. Perhaps there is another way to access the igniter other than from inside the oven cavity? There must be some kind of printed guidance on this?
