a range between fixed low and high settings while
the appliance is in operation. Adjust the flame
height as desired after lighting the appliance by
rotating the variable adjustment control knob
(HI/LO) located on the front of the valve (refer

Electronic Appliances
To light electronic appliances refer to the detailed
lighting instructions found on Pages 23 and

If your electronic appliance is not equipped
with a wall switch or remote control, the main
burner must be turned off and on with a gas
control switch located in some other location

tions. Check batteries, if installed, routinely
