Hello Ian Irwin. Welcome my friend to my Gas Appliances forum and our Do-It-Yourself Web Site.
Based upon the problem description you posted, indicates is one of several potiental conditions.
A lack of oxygen supply into the burner compartments area.
Which means there is a restriction of air supply into the baking compartment area.
To remedy this condition, check for free air flow thru any provided vents around the stove and or oven. Also check for air flow thru any cabinet the appliance is built into or along side. Air flow vents can also be located under the stove or oven.
A restriction in the venting out of the oven compartment.
Which may mean there is aluminum foil or some other type of material or object blocking the heat exhaust vent out of the oven.
Check around the stove or oven and inside the baking compartment for anything that can or may cause a restriction of the exhaust venting out of the oven.
A lack of oxygen to the burner itself.
This means the flames are burning softly and yellow, indicating the air shutter on the end of the burner tube needs to be opened further to allow more air flow into the burner to mix with the fuel.
An overgassed burner.
What this means is the burner flames are much too large for the space provided in the burner compartment section.
To correct this problem, turn the orifice {the brass metal hex nut} on the gas valve clockwise to decrease the size of the burner flames.
When the burner flames are adjusted correctly, the tips of the flames do not lap around or above the flame spreader. They should only be about one inch from the end of the flame spreader.
The flame spreader is the metal plate that attaches to the top or bottom of the burner, depending upon the location of the oven.
Suggestions:
Read the manufacturers online web site for product information, problem possibilities, causes and solving methods, part locations, disassembly, reassembly methods, repair proceedures and instructions, fuel type conversions, pictorials and schematics, which may be available online.
