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 depart -
ment.
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.
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).
3. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise
to “OFF”. Do not force.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
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 applicable).
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 - the pilot is
attached at the bottom of
the burner assembly .
7. Turn gas control knob
counterclockwise to “PILOT.”
8. Push in gas control knob all the way and hold in. Repeatedly
push the piezo ignitor button 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 4
through 8.
• If knob does not pop up when released, stop and imme-
diately 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.
9. Attention! Gas control has an 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 re -
lighted 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
relighted. Repeat steps 4 through 8.
10. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise to “HI”.
11. Turn on all electric power to appliance (if applicable).
12. Set thermostat (gas control knob) to desired setting from “HI”
to “LO”.
