LIGHTING
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
A.
This appliance has a pilot that must be lit by hand using the piezo igniter. 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 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, 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 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 and any gas
control that has been under water.
