This appliance does not have a pilot light. It is equipped with an ignition device, which
automatically lights the burner. Do NOT try to light the burner by hand.

the floor, as 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 touch or operate any electric switch
• Do not use any phone in the building
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbors phone or
from outside with your cell phone and follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
• Call the fire department if the gas supplier cannot be reached.
C.
Use only your hand to turn the gas ball-valve knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn
by hand, do NOT try to repair it, but rather call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion

Do not use this appliance if any part has been submerged under water. Immediately call a
qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and replace any part of the control
system and any gas control device that has been submerged under water.
