FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE OPERATING
A. This gas appliance has a manual ignition device that lights the pilot. 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 electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the 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 to light the pilot. 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 the 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.
