Fire or explosion hazard. Can cause property damage, servere injury or death.
Exactly follow the warnings and the lighting instructions.
1. Before lighting, smell around the appliance area for gas. If the appliance uses LP (bottled) gas, be sure to smell next to the
floor because LP gas is heavier than air. If you smell gas, immediately shut off the manual valve in the gas piping to the
appliance or, on LP at the tank. Do not try to light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch or use the phone. Leave
the building and call your gas supplier. If your gas supplier cannot be reached, call the fire department.
2. Do not force the gas control knob on the appliance. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use any tools. If
the knob does not operate by hand, have a qualified service technician replace the control. Force or any attempted repair
can result in fire or explosion.
3. The gas conrol must be replaced if it has been flooded with water. Call a qualified service technician.
4. The gas control is a safety device. It must be replaced in case of any physical damage such as bent terminals, missing
parts, stripped threads, or evidence of exposure to heat.
IMPORTANT:
Follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of your heating appliance.

If the pilot will not stay lit:
