The gas control knob is designed to be operated by hand. DO NOT use any tools during this operation. Damaged knobs may result in serious injury.

1.Depress and turn knob counterclockwise to pilot position.

2.Depress fully and hold pilot gas knob. The electronic ig- nitor will automatically ignite the pilot. Keep knob fully depressed for a few seconds. Release and check that pilot continues to burn.

If the pilot does not stay lit, repeat Steps 1 and 2.
