When operating the main oven regulating dial at about No 5 the oven light goes off and the oven cuts out if I keep moving the regulator it all comes back on?

many thanks for all your replies it was the ignition box at the back of the cooker I will not be buying cannon when it has to be replaced.

Same problem as you all. Local gas repair man gave three options. !st a new bit at £10 2nd another new bit £65 or 3rd he could isolate the auto ignition, still leaving manual electric ignition ( you have to keel pressing button untill ignition ) this would also allow me to keep cooking in a power cut whereas the auto system would have shur the gas off. Opted for 3rd option, took him 20mins and charged me £20. Happy days

Check the polarity of the mains supply. If the live and neutral are reversed this problem occurs.
Other wise you may have the same problem as i had . There is a faulty batch of components that was fitted at manufacture . Cannon never recalled them and I was duped into paying for a yearly plan (£170 ) to have it fixed). I do not know the name of the faulty unit but the repair engineer told me that the faulty ones are marked with an unfilled little square whereas the good ones have a filled in black square symbol on them. I had bought the cooker for a house I was renovating. It was only used for 2 months out of twelve but had gone over the one year warranty period. So basically i was charged for something that was dodgy on leaving the factory.
The insurance firm Cannon use were very unhelpful,please beware. Best thing don't buy a Cannon cooker
