LIGHTING & SHUTDOWN
NOTE: Prior to lighting, check all fittings for leakage. This is accomplished by applying soapy water on all
connections made. If there is any leakage, bubbles will appear at the point of connection. If bubbles occur,
tighten the fittings until the bubbles no longer appear.
IMPORTANT:
TEST ALL CONNECTIONS WHETHER FIELD OR FACTORY MADE.
NOTE: The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi.
NOTE: The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas line at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Pressure check taps for the manifold (outgoing) and inlet (incoming) pressures are located in front of the gas
valve. The left pressure tap is the manifold pressure and the right pressure tap is the incoming pressure. Follow
instructions on page #28 for checking these pressures.
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.
1. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand.
When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
2. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the appliance for
gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
3. 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. Forced or attempted repair may result in a fire
or explosion, and loss of warranty.
4.
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
which has been under water.
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS
AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.
DUE TO HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURES, KEEP CHILDREN,
CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY.
This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and
