Lighting and operating instructions are located on front of

the water heater, above or to one side of the gas control

valve.

CHECK FOR LEAKS

Be sure to check all your gas pipes for leaks before light-

ing your water heater. Use a soapy water solution, not a

match or open flame. Check the factory gas fittings after

pilot is lit and gas control knob is still in “PILOT” position.

Then, check the fittings when the main burner is turned

“ON”. Use a soapy water solution for this, too.

WARNING

BEFORE LIGHTING [PROPANE (L.P.) GAS WATER

HEATERS]: Propane (L.P.) gas is heavier than air.

Should there be a leak in the system, the gas will settle

near the ground. Basements, crawl spaces, skirted

areas under manufactured (mobile) homes (even when

ventilated), closets and areas below ground level will

serve as pockets for the accumulation of this gas.

Before attempting to light or relight the water heater’s

pilot or turning on a nearby electrical light switch, be

absolutely sure there is no accumulated gas in the area.

Search for odor of gas by sniffing at ground level in the

vicinity of the appliance. If odor is detected, follow the

steps indicated at “For Your Safety” on the cover page

of this manual, then leave the premises.

WARNING

AN ODORANT IS ADDED TO THE GAS USED

BY THIS WATER HEATER.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

IF YOU SMELL GAS:

1. Do not try to light any appliance.

2. Do not touch any electrical 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.

WARNING

DO NOT force the gas control knob. Use only your

hand to push it down to light the pilot, or to turn it to

“ON”, “OFF” or “PILOT”. Never use a tool such as a

lever, wrench or pliers. Do not hit or damage the knob.

A damaged knob may result in an explosion and seri-

ous injury. If you have problem turning the knob, call

the gas supplier immediately.
