LIGHTING CONTINUOUS PILOT INSTRUCTIONS
Honeywell VR8200
Natural or Propane Gas
A. 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.
What to do if you smell gas:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical 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.
B. 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 tech-
nician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or
explosion.
C. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the con-
trol system and any gas control which has been under
water.
