This water heater does not have a pilot. It is equipped
with an ignition device which automatically lights the
burner. Do not try to light the burner manually.
Before operating, make sure that a gas leak is not evi-
dent by smelling the area around the unit. Be sure to
smell next to the floor because gas is heavier than air
and will settle on the floor.
Use only hand to turn the gas valve knob. Never use
tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to repair
it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted
repair could result in a fire or explosion due to the gas
leakage.
Do not use this water heater if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the water heater and to replace any parts that
have been under water.
Do not install the unit standing directly on combus-
tible surface.
