[C320-list] Oven not starting??

I struggled the same way as you did the first time I tried to light ours. As I recall, getting the valve in the correct position to light the pilot was a bit finicky. Look at the knob closely and read the instructions on the inside of the oven door. The oven works really well when you figure it out.
