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 heater has a pilot which must be lit by hand. When
lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B.
BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the heater 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 electric 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.
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, do
not try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Forced or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D.
Do not use this heater 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.
