NOTICE: During initial operation of new heater, burn-

vent smell. This will only last a few hours.

11. Visually locate the pilot. The ignitor should begin to spark and

the main burner should ignite once flame appears at pilot.
• If lighting the appliance for the first time each season, it

may take several attempts before the supply gas can reach
the pilot and main burners.

• If the appliance will not stay lit after several attempts,

follow the instructions 

To Turn Off Gas To Appliance

, be-

low, and call your service technician or gas supplier.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

READ BEFORE LIGHTING

 WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions

exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing prop-
erty damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which

automatically lights the pilot. Do not try to light the pilot by
hand.

B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance 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 de-

partment.

C. 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.
