2.2 Lighting
Instructions
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance is provided with a standing pilot flame. When lighting the pilot, follow these
instructions exactly.
B.
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 any appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch: do not use any phone in your home.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas suppliers’ instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
C. 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 to force or repair it; call a qualified service technician. Forcing or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
