OPERATION

FOR YOUR SAFETY

READ BEFORE LIGHTING

 WARNING: If you do not fol-

low  these  instructions  exactly, 

a  fi re  or  explosion  may  result 
causing property damage, per-
sonal 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 fl oor because some 
gas is heavier than air and will settle 
on the fl oor.

 

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 fi re 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 quali-
fi ed service technician or gas supplier. 
Force or attempted repair may result in 
a fi re or explosion.

D.  Do  not  use  this  appliance  if  any  part 

has been under water. Immediately call 
a qualifi ed service technician to inspect 
the appliance and to replace any part of 
the control system and any gas control 
which has been under water.
