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 has a pilot which is lit by a piezo-electric
spark gas ignition system. Do not remove the access
doors of the appliance and try to light the pilot by hand.
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 electric switch; do not use any
phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s 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, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified
service technician. Force 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 installer or service
agency to replace a flooded water heater. Do not
attempt to repair the unit! It must be replaced!

clockwise
to “PILOT” position.

of piezo ignitor.
7. Depress the gas control knob all the way down.
Immediately depress the piezo ignitor button until a
click is heard and then release. Check to see if pilot is
lit through the observation port. If pilot is not lit, continue
to depress and release piezo ignitor button up to six (6)
times. If pilot is still not lit, repeat steps 3 through 7.
After the pilot is lit, continue to hold control knob down for
about one (1) minute. Release knob and it will pop
back up. Pilot should remain lit. If it goes out repeat
steps 2 through 7.

and turn the gas control knob clockwise
to
“OFF” and call your service technician or gas supplier.
