Lighting Instructions
For your safety, read the following before lighting.
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage and personal injury or death.
1. This appliance has a pilot which is lit with a push-button piezo lighter. When lighting the pilot, follow
these instructions exactly.
2. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
What to do if you smell gas:
-Do not try to light the appliance.
-Do not touch any electric switch, and do not use any phone in your building.
-Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbors phone & follow the gas suppliers instructions.
-If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department
3. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push
in or turn by hand, do not try and repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Forcing or attempting to
repair the knob may result in a fire or explosion.
4. Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater. Immediately call a qualified technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
