is  in  the  ON  position  after  the 

pilot is lit.

5.  Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. 

Then smell for gas, including near the floor. 

If you smell gas, STOP! Follow “B” in the

ply. If so, the control knob may need to be

with match. To light pilot with match, see 

Manual Lighting Procedure

, page 18. 

8.  Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds 

after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release 

control knob.

• If control knob does not pop out when 

released, contact a qualified service person 

or gas supplier for repairs.

through 8, page 16.
