OPERATION
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.
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.
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 or gas supplier. Forced 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.
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.
