[C320-list] Fw: No Gas to Stove

[Jerry Clayton]

Brian,

     When you turn push and turn on the burner knob you must keep the knob 
pushed in until after it is lite for a few seconds.  If you are just turning 
the knob on without holding it in the pushed in mode it will not light.
Also if it has not been used in awhile it takes several seconds for the gas 
to go from the tank to the stove.
