A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand.
When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

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

your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

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, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service techni-
cian or gas supplier. Force or attempted repair may result
in a fire or explosion.
