Lighting Instructions

Read and understand these directions thoroughly before attempting to light or re-light the pilot. Make sure the view port is not missing or damaged. (See Figure 33.) Make sure the tank is completely filled with water before lighting the pilot. Check the rating plate near the gas control valve/thermostat for the correct gas. Do not use this water heater with any gas other than the one listed on the rating plate. If you have any questions or doubts, consult your gas supplier or gas utility company.

Replace view port if glass is missing or damaged.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
