LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. STOP! Read the safety information on pages 36 and 37.
2. Set the thermostat (gas control knob) to lowest setting.
3. Turn off all electric power to the appliance (if applicable).
4. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise
to "OFF." Do not force.
5. Wait ten (10) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas,
including near floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" in
the safety information on page 37. If you do not smell gas, go
to the next step.
6. Remove pilot access cover located on the combustion cham-
ber.
7. Find pilot - follow metal tube from gas control.
8. Turn manual gas control knob counterclockwise to
"PILOT."
9. Push in manual gas control knob all the way and hold in.
Repeatedly push the piezo ignitor button until pilot is lit ( or
use a match to light). Continue to hold the control knob in for
about one (1) minute after the pilot is lit. Release knob and it
will pop back up. Pilot should remain lit. If it goes out, repeat
steps 4 through 8.
If knob does not pop up when released, stop and immedi-
ately call a qualified service technician or gas supplier.
If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas
control knob to "OFF" and call a qualified service techni-
cian or gas supplier.
10. Attention! Gas control has an INTERLOCK latching de-
vice. When the pilot is initially lit and the safety magnet is
energized (pilot stays "ON") the INTERLOCK latching de-
vice becomes operative. If the gas control is turned to the
"OFF" position or gas flow to the appliance is shut off, the pilot
cannot be relighted until the safety magnet is de-energized
(approximately 60 seconds). There will be an audible "click"
when the safety magnet in the gas control is de-energized.
Pilot can now be relighted, repeat steps 4 through 8.
11. Replace pilot access cover. CAUTION: Access cover must be
kept tightly closed during operation.
12. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise to
"HIGH."
13. Turn on all electric power to the appliance (if applicable).
14. Set thermostat (gas control knob) to desired setting from
"HIGH" to "LOW."
