may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
• 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

under water.
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.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•
Do not try to light any appliance.

do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas suppliers instructions.

information above on this label. If you don't smell gas,
go to next step.

or gas supplier.
• If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries,
depress and turn the gas control knob
clockwise to “OFF” and call your
