WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION MAY RESULT, CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
LOSS OF LIFE.
1. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell around the unit area for gas. Be sure to smell next to
the floor, because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
2. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
a. Shut off the gas to the appliance
b. Extinguish any open flame
c. If odor continues, immediately call your gas supplier or the fire department.
3. Use only your hand to push in or turn by hand, DO NOT try to repair it. Call a
qualified professional service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in
fire or explosion.
