HEATER

pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

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

• 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
control system and any gas control which has been under water.
