result causing property damage, personal injury, and/or loss of life.
A.
This appliance can be lit electronically or with a
match. When lighting, follow these instructions
exactly.

Before lighting,

phone nearby.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh-
bors phone. Follow gas supplier’s instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department
C.
Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob on
propane tank (if equipped), never use tools. If the
valve won’t turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a
qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair
may result in a fire or explosion.
D.
Do not use the appliance if any part has been under-
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance and replace any part which
has been underwater.
E.
The gas pressure regulator provided with this appli-
ance must be used. This regulator is set for an outlet
pressure of 10.5 inches water column.
