exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal in-
jury or loss of life.
A. This appliance is equipped with a pilot which must be lit with an ignitor while following these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE OPERATING 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.

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 of it has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance and to replace any pat of the control system and any gas control that has been under
water.
