A.This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

D.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 control system and any gas control which has been under water.
