When you hold a match over one of the burners and turn it on, does it seem like their is air coming out but just won't light? If so, you may have to purge the air out of the lines until the gas gets to the stove.
I can take up to 60 seconds for gas to flow properly.
If you are concerned about gas building up,simply open the door while you do this and don't try it for more than about a minute.
I do this and then light each burner, allowing them to all burn on high at the same time for about 30 seconds to fully purge the lines.
This is how many of us purge the main lines when turning on or switching tanks, too.
Hope this helps.
