FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING

EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING
PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE.

A. This appliance is equipped with a piezo ignition device
to light the pilot. When lighting the pilot, follow these
instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell 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.

DO NOT use any phone in the 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 any tool. 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
