equipped with an ignition device, which
automatically lights the heater. Do NOT try to light
the burners by hand.
• BEFORE OPERATING
, smell all around the
appliance for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor
because some gas is 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
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the Fire
Department.
• Use only your hand to switch on or off the gas
control switch. Never use tools. If the switch
appears broken or will not move, don’t try to
repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or

under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the appliance and to replace
