READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: if you do not not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B.Before lighting smell all around the appli- ance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to
the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas suppli- er‘s instruction.
•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire 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, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified serv- ice technician or gas supplier. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
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.
