INSTRUCTIONS TO THE HOMEOWNER
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE
WARNINGS BELOW AND THE
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A
FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAN RESULT
WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
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 appli-
ance. Use only your hand to turn the gas con-
trol knob. Never use any tools. If the knob will
not operate by hand, replace the control using a
qualified service technician. Force or attempted
repair can result in fire or explosion.
3. The gas control 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 or broken parts,
stripped threads, or evidence of exposure to
heat.
IMPORTANT: Follow the operating instructions pro-
vided by the manufacturer of your heating appliance.
The information below will be of assistance in a
typical control application, but the specific controls
used and the procedures outlined by the manufac-
turer of your appliance may differ, requiring special
instructions.

LP, at the tank. 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 depart-
ment. Failure to do so may result in fire or explosion.

counterclockwise
