FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

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

causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

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 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 electrical 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.  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.

3.   Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise 

  to "OFF".  Do not force.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE

1.   Set thermostat (gas control knob) to lowest setting.

2.   Turn off all electric power to appliance if service is to be 

performed (if applicable).

in for about one (1) minute after the pilot is lit.  Release 

knob and it will pop back up.  Pilot should remain lit.  If 

it goes out, repeat steps 4 through 8.
  •  If  knob  does  not  pop  up  when  released,  stop  and 

immediately call your service technician or gas sup-

plier.  

  •  If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn 

the gas control knob to "OFF" and call your service 

technician or gas supplier.

  10.  Turn on all electric power to appliance (if applicable).
  11.  Set thermostat (gas control knob) to desired setting from 

"HI" (5) to "LO" (1).

  1.   STOP!   Read the safety information above.
  2.  Set thermostat (gas control knob) to lowest setting.
  3.  Turn  off  all  electric  power  to  the  appliance    (if  applica-

ble).

  4.   Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise                      

 to "OFF".  Do not force.

 

  5.   Wait ten (10) minutes   to clear out any gas.  Then smell 

for gas, including near the floor.  If you smell gas, STOP! 

Follow "B" in the safety information above.  If you don't 

smell gas, go to the next step.

  6.  Find pilot - Follow metal tube from gas control. The pilot 

is located next to the burner, near the right side.
