OPERATION INSTRUCTION

with an ignition device that automatically lights the
burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.

to the floor because gas is heavier than air and will
settle on the floor.

use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, don't try to
repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair could result in a fire or explosion.
