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 neigh-

bor'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 techni-
cian 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 clock-
wise                 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).

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Push in manual gas control knob all the way and

until pilot is lit (or use a match to light pilot).
Continue to hold the control knob 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 2 through 6.

  • If knob does not pop up when released, stop and

immediately call your service technician or gas
supplier.

  • 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.

cable).

4.

 to "OFF".  Do not force.

5.

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