7.1 operating/lighting
instructions
The on-off switch is located on the back of the appliance at the top left corner on models GDS28 and GS28.
When lit for the fi rst time, the appliance will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condi-
tion caused by the "burn-in" of paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again.
Simply open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation such as following
a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by
dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.
