slightly and turn control knob clockwise to the OFF position.
NOTE: Knob cannot be turned to OFF unless knob is pushed in slightly. Do not force.
5. Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas STOP!
Follow the instructions under What To Do if You Smell Gas, page 32. If you do not smell gas, go to the
next step.

• If the knob does not pop out when released, stop and immediately call your service technician
or gas supplier.
• If the ODS pilot will not stay lit after several tries, push and turn the gas control knob clockwise
to OFF and wait 15 seconds. Repeat steps 6 through 9.
10. Push in control knob and turn counterclockwise to the HIGH setting. At this location the
