FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result

causing 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 electrical switch;

do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh-

bor'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.
