or death.
Exactly follow the instructions for Pre-Lighting
Checks.
Pre-Lighting Checks
1.
Before lighting, smell around the appliance area for
gas. If the appliance uses LP gas, be sure to smell
next to the floor because LP gas is heavier than air.
2.
If you smell gas, immediately shut off the manual
valve in the gas piping to the appliance or, on LP, at
the tank. Leave the building immediately and call
your gas supplier. If your gas supplier cannot be
reached, call the fire department.
3.
Do not force the gas valve control knob. Use only
your hand to turn the control knob.
4.
If the knob does not operate by hand, the valve
should be replaced by a qualified service
technician.
5.
The gas valve must be replaced if it was flooded
with water. Call a qualified service technician.
6.
The gas valve is a safety device. It must be
replaced in the event of any physical damage such
as bent terminals, missing or broken parts, stripped
threads, or evidence of exposure to heat.
IMPORTANT
Follow the operating instructions provided by
the manufacturer of your heating appliance.
