Anyone have any info on pilots for older ovens with no pilot control knob? It is a caloric ultra ray wall oven natural gas, there is no pilot button to push, it is in a mobile home. I am familiar with traditional pilots with the push buttons and thermocouples but am curious about this style. I haven’t hooked the gas up yet.

It "might" be an open pilot-you light it when the gas turns on. I had a very old stove with a pilot like that...not the safest unit.

Ok thanks, I have the unit removed for cleaning. Before I reinstall I will check it out but that makes sense because there are no controls for the pilot. There is a safety for the gas valve however, so the pilot needs to be lit for the gas to go to the burner which I understand.

When you connect the gas (on the bench), put a flame to the pilot. That will tell you if the pilot is always "on"...
