with and on the side of heater.
2. Check that gas supply to heater is on.

Note:
Knob cannot be turned from PILOT to OFF
unless knob is pushed in slightly. Do not force.

Follow “B” in the safety
information above. If you do not smell gas, go
to the next step.
5. Push in gas control know slightly and turn
counterclockwise
to PILOT/IGN and

knob back to OFF position then rotate
counterclockwise to PILOT/IGN position. This
will light pilot. If needed gently keep rotating

Troubleshooting, pages 12-13. Also, contact
a qualified service person or gas supplier for
repairs.
If control knob does not pop up when released,
contact a qualified service person or gas
