FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: IF YOU DO 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 lit with a piezo spark
igniter. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the heater area for gas. Be
sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than
air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your
building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone.
Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• 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, do
not try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Forced or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this heater 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.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Stop! Read the safety information above.
2. Make sure manual shut-off valve is fully open.
3. Open the glass facia.
4. Depress control knob in and turn clockwise to the
“OFF” position (Figure 19).
5. Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including near
the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow the safety instructions in “What to
do if you smell gas” under section ‘B’ above. If you do not smell gas, go to
next step.
6. The pilot is located on the left side behind the burner (Figure 20).
7. Depress control knob in and turn counter-clockwise to the
“SPARK” position (Figure 19) and hold there for a few seconds.
Note: If you are running the heater for the first time or after an extended
period of non use it will be necessary to press the control knob all the way
in for 30 seconds to allow air to bleed out of the gas piping.
8. Continue turning counter-clockwise through the spark click
to the PILOT light position, ensuring the pilot has lit. If not, turn the knob
fully clockwise, and repeat.
9. Hold the control knob in for a further 10 seconds to prevent the flame
failure detector from shutting off the gas while the probe is warming up.
10. Release the control knob while turning counter-clockwise
to the preferred setting. Close the control access panel.
• If the knob does not pop out when released, stop and immediately call your
service technician or gas supplier.
• If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, depress and turn the gas
control knob clockwise to “OFF” and wait 30 seconds. Depress
and turn knob counter-clockwise to “SPARK” and ignite the
heater again. If your pilot does not relight depress and turn control knob
clockwise to “OFF” and call your service technician or gas
supplier.
11. Wait 30 seconds before readjusting the heater when the control knob has
been turned down to a lower setting.
