WARNING:  If  you  do not  follow  these  instruc-
tions  exactly,  a  fire  or  explosion  may  result

A. This appliance has a pilot which must be

lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot,
follow these instructions exactly.

B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the ap-

pliance area 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.

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 service technician or
gas supplier. 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
