What No igniter glow within 5 to 10 seconds
actually means.
When a knob is pushed and turned, the oven's lighting system powers the spiral hot surface igniter and opens the safety gas valves. Alfresco's first check for an oven that will not light is the igniter glow, and it links a missing glow to the power cord, the GFCI and the knob position.

What to do when No igniter glow within 5 to 10 seconds shows on the pizza ovenKind of codeIgnition and flame
The oven tried to light its burner and never proved a flame, or proved one and then lost it. The usual reasons are ordinary: a gas shutoff not fully open or a tank running dry, an igniter cracked or crusted with flour dust, a flame sensor or thermocouple that no longer reads the heat, or a draft that pulls the pilot away from it. Checking the shutoff and the tank and running the restart the manual names are fair first steps; if you smell gas, get outside first, and the valve, the sensor and every fitting stay with a technician.

Make sure the knob is turned all the way to MAX, then watch the igniter for 10 seconds.

What not to do
No glow is not the same as no gas; if the igniter glows but nothing lights, the gas supply and the burner ports are the next check. A dark oven lamp with a dark igniter points to power, while a working lamp with a dark igniter points to the igniter itself.
