1.  STOP! Read the safety information to the left of this label.
2.  Set thermostat to lowest setting.
3.  Turn off all electric power to the appliance.  (If applicable)
4.  Remove access panel (front panel).

5.  Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise 

 to 

“OFF”. Do not force.

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

including near floor.  If you smell gas, STOP!  Follow “B” in the 

safety information to the left of this label.  If you do not smell gas, 

go to the next step.

7.  Remove the pilot access cover located on the combustion cham-

ber.

8.  Find pilot - the pilot is attached to front of burner.

9.  Turn gas control knob counterclockwise 

 to “IGN”.

10.  Depress and turn gas control knob counterclockwise 

to 

“PILOT”.  A spark is produced when gas control knob is turned 

between “IGN” and “PILOT”.  Repeatedly depress and turn gas 

control knob between “IGN” and “PILOT” until pilot is ignited.  

Continue to hold the control knob in for about one (1)  minute after 

pilot is lit.  Release knob and it will pop back up.  If it goes out, 

repeat steps 5 through 10.

• 

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.

11.  Attention!  Gas control has INTERLOCK latching device.  When 

the pilot is initially lit and the safety magnet is energized (pilot stays 

on) the INTERLOCK latching device becomes operative.  If the gas 

control is turned to the “OFF” position or gas flow to the appliance 

is shut off, the pilot cannot be relighted until the safety magnet is 

de-energized (approximately 60 seconds).  There will be an audible 

“click” when the safety magnet in the gas control is de-energized. 

Pilot can now be relit. Repeat steps 5 through 10.

12.   Turn gas control knob counterclockwise  

  to “ON”.

13.   Turn on all electric power to the appliance.  (If applicable)
14.   Replace pilot access cover and access panel (front panel).
15.   Set thermostat to desired setting. 

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE

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 de-

partment.

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.
