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 has a pilot which must be lit. When
lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appli-
ance 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 in-
structions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas con-
trol 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 un-
der 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.
