SECTION 3. LIGHTING THE HEATER
Safety lighting and other performance criteria were
met for the burner assembly and control assembly
when the heater was tested for design certification
under the ANSI Z21.10.3 Standard
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 heater DOES NOT have a pilot. It is equipped
with a hot surface ignition device which automati-
cally lights the burner. DO
NOT attempt to light the
burner by hand.
B. Before operating smell all around the heater area
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gases are heavier than air and will settle on
the floor.

• 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, move or turn the gas
control knob or lever. Never use tools. If the knob
or lever will not push in, move 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.
