FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

!WARNING PILOT LIGHTING PROCEDURE

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 lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B.BEFORE LIGHTING 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.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

“WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS”

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electrical 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, don't try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. 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.

PILOT LIGHTING PROCEDURE

1.Turn the gas control knob to the OFF position (it will be necessary to depress the knob slightly at the PILOT position). Allow five minutes for any gas in the combustion chamber to escape (LP gas, which is heavier than air, may require forced ventilation).

2.Turn the gas control knob to the PILOT position.

3.Push down on the gas control knob and light the pilot immediately. Hold the knob down for one full minute after lighting the pilot.

4.When the gas control knob is released, the pilot flame should continue to burn (if the pilot goes out, repeat the above steps).

5.Rotate the gas control knob from PILOT to ON

position (full counterclockwise PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT position) to supply full flow to main burner.

NOTE

Not turning the gas control knob to the full ON position will reduce the flow and could result in poor ignition of main burner.

PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT

These controls are factory preset and will not normally require additional adjustment of the pilot flame. If field adjustment of the pilot flame is required, remove the pilot adjust cover screw to expose the adjusting screw. Turn

the adjusting screw clockwise ( TESTING ) to reduce flame,

or counterclockwise ( Manual background ) to increase flame. Re- place pilot adjust cover screw and tighten securely.

TESTING

After completing the installation, check for proper opera- tion by turning the gas control knob to the PILOT position. With the pilot lit, loosen the thermocouple connection. The pilot should immediately go out. Turn the gas control knob to the OFF position and retighten the thermocouple con- nection.

Allow five minutes before relighting the pilot.
