on a gas system to avoid the possibility of fire or explosion
with property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

1. Place gas control knob in Pilot position. Main burner should go
off and pilot should remain lit.
2. Extinguish pilot flame. Pilot gas flow should stop within 3
minutes. Safety shutoff of pilot gas proves complete shutdown
since safety shutoff valve blocks flow of gas to main burner and
pilot.

through one complete cycle to make sure all controls operate
properly.
