FOR YOUR SAFETY REAd BEFORE LIGHTING

A.  

This appliance has a pilot which can be lit by hand or by 

switching the remote receiver switch to the "ON" position. 

When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B.  Before lighting smell all around the appliance area for gas.

•  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.  If applicable, use only your hand to turn the gas shutoff valve 

handle. Never use tools. If the handle will not 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.
