INITIAL OPERATION
For your safety please read before
operating the unit for the first time
.
Once you have properly installed the unit and
before firing it for the first time, check the gas
and water connections for leaks. Open the
main gas supply valve to the unit using only
your hand to avoid any spark. Never use tools.
If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to
force it; call a qualified service technician.
Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or
explosion due to gas leaks. Be sure to check
next to the bottom of the unit because some
gases are heavier than air and may settle
towards the floor.

2. Do not touch any electric switch; do not
use any phone in your building.
3. Immediately call your gas supplier from
a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas
supplier’s instructions.
4. If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the fire department.
