AVERTISSEMENT

: Quiconque ne respecte pas à la

lettre les instructions dans la présente notice risque
de déclencher un incendie ou une explosion entraî-
nant des dommages, des blessures ou la mort.

A. L'allumage de la veilleuse de cet appareil est assuré par un 

système d'allumage piézoélectrique à étincelles. Ne tentez pas
d'ouvrir la porte d'accès interne et d'allumer la veilleuse
manuellement.

B. AVANT DE FAIRE FONCTIONNER, reniflez tout autour de 

l'appareil pour déceler une odeur de gaz. Reniflez près du 
plancher, car certains gaz sont plus lourds que l'air et peuvent
s'accumuler au niveau du sol.

QUE FAIRE SI VOUS SENTEZ UNE ODEUR DE GAZ:

Ne pas tenter d'allumer d'appareil.

Ne touchez à aucun interrupteur; ne pas vous servir des 
téléphones se trouvant dans le bâtiment.

Appelez immédiatement votre fournisseur de gaz depuis un
voisin. Suivez les instructions du fournisseur.

Si vous ne pouvez rejoindre le fournisseur, appelez le service des
incendies.

C. Ne poussez ou tournez la manette d'admission du gaz qu'à la

main; ne jamais utiliser d'outils. Si la manette reste coincée, ne
tentez pas de la réparer; appelez un technicien qualifié. Le fait de
forcer la manette ou de la réparer peut déclencher une explosion
ou un incendie.

D. N'utilisez pas cet appareil s'il a été plongé dans l'eau, même par-

tiellement. Faites inspecter l'appareil par un technicien qualifié et
remplacez toute partie du système de contrôle et toute 
commande qui ont été plongés dans l'eau.

WARNING:

If you do not follow these

instructions exactly, a fire or explo-
sion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. This appliance has a pilot that is lit by a piezo-electric

spark gas ignition system. Do not open the inner door
of the appliance and try to light the pilot by hand.

B. BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the appliance

area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gases are heavier than air and will settle on the
floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone
in your building.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call fire depart-
ment.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control

knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or
turn by hand, don't try to repair it, call a qualified serv-
ice technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a
fire or explosion.

D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under

water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the con-
trol system and any gas control which has been under
water.
