LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS – MILLIVOLT GAS VALVE

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted with a piezo
igniter. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions
exactly.
B. BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the appliance 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
• Extinguish any open flame.
• Open windows.
• Do not light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switches.

mal service.

STOP! Follow “B” in the safety information above on this page. If you
do not smell gas, go to the next step.
7. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn counterclockwise
to “PILOT.”
8. Push in control knob all the way and hold in. Immediately light the
pilot by triggering the spark igniter (pushing the button) until pilot
lights. Continue to hold the control knob in for about 1-1/2 minutes
after the pilot is lit. Release knob and it will pop back up. Pilot should
remain lit. If it goes out, repeat steps 5 through 8.

and call your service technician or
gas supplier.

to “ON.”

• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone.

ment.
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. Force
or attempted repair may result in a fire or an 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.

unless the knob is pushed in slightly. Do not force.
