Whirlpool T-K2 - Manual (Page 15)

Initiating the Appliance
For your safety, read before operating.
WARNING: 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 does not have a pilot. It is
equipped with an electronic ignition device,
which automatically lights the burner. Do
not try to light the burner by hand.
b) Before operating, check for gas
accumulation in the area around the
appliance. Pay special attention near the
floor, because gas is often heavier than air,
and it may accumulate near the floor.
c) Do not attempt to open the manual gas
shutoff valve with anything but by hand.
Never use tools. If the valve will not open
by hand, do not try to repair it. Instead, call
a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a gas leak,
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 that may
have been damaged by being under water.
WARNING: IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•
Do not use any appliance.
•
Do not touch any electric switch, do not
use any phone in your building.
•
Immediately call your gas supplier from a

instructions.

the fire department.
