FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not fol-
low these instructions exactly, a
fire or explosion may result caus-
ing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance has a pilot which must
be lighted by hand. 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
which has been under water.
1. STOP! Read the safety information on
above.
2. Check that gas supply to heater is on.
3. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn
clockwise
to the OFF position.
Note: Knob cannot be turned from PILOT to
OFF unless knob is pushed in slightly. Do
not force.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any air.
Then smell for gas, including near the
floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow "B"
in the safety information above. If you do
not smell gas, go to the next step.
5. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn
counterclockwise
to "PILOT/IGN"
and press for five (5) seconds
Note: The first time that the heater is
operated after connecting the gas supply,
the control knob should be pressed for
about thirty (30) seconds. This will allow
air to bleed from the gas system. If pilot
does not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting,
pages 22 though 25. Also contact a quali-
fied service technician or gas supplier for
repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot
with match.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
• If control knob does not pop up when
released, contact a qualified service
technician or gas supplier for repairs.
6. With control knob pressed in, push down
and release the ignitor button. This will
light pilot. If needed, keep pressing ignitor
button until pilot lights.
Note: If pilot does
not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting, pages
22 though 25. Also contact a qualified
service technician or gas supplier for
repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot
with match. To light pilot with match, see
