Starting The Pilot Flame

The pilot flame is required to ignite the main		a
burners (it also plays a safety role). It should be
left on once lit. It will stay lit unless the gas
control valve is turned to "OFF". However, the
pilot will go out if the gas is shut off, the
propane tank runs out (or low) or if the stove
malfunctions. If the pilot turns off frequently,
call your dealer for information. To start the
pilot follow the directions below:
WARNING:		b
When lighting or re-lighting the
pilot, the door must be opened (see
page	19).
a Open the door (see page 19 for details).
b Push the gas control knob in slightly and turn
it to the "OFF" position. The knob will not		c
turn from "ON" to "OFF" unless the knob is
depressed slightly. Wait five minutes to let
any gas that may have accumulated inside
the firebox escape. If you smell leaking gas,
follow the directions on the cover "IF YOU
SMELL GAS".
c Turn the gas control knob to the "PILOT"
position and press the knob in, this will allow		d
gas to flow to the pilot light. Press the
button on the pilot igniter repeatedly until
you see the pilot light.
WARNING:
If the pilot does not light after 15
seconds, release the knob and call
your dealer for service. Do not
attempt to light pilot until service		e
has	been performed.
