5. Release the control while turning control knob to desired
setting.
8. With the control knob pressed in, push in and release the

turn the gas control knob clockwise to “OFF”
and wait 30 seconds. Depress and turn knob counter-
clockwise to “IGN” and press igniter button
again. If your pilot does not relight depress and turn

department.
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, do
not try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Forced or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this heater if any part has been under 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.
A. This heater has a pilot which must be lit by hand. When
lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the heater area for gas.
Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle on the floor.

• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone
in your building.
WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY
