OPERATING HEATER
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 appli-
ance 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 touch any electric switch; do not
use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas suppli-
er‘s instruction.
• 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 serv-
ice technician or gas supplier. 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 and any gas control which
has been under water.
1. STOP! Read the safety information above.
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully
open.
3. Turn thermostat control knob clockwise
to the OFF position (see fig. 11).
4. Wait five minutes to clear out any gas.
Then smell for gas, including near the
floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow the
safety information. If you don’t smell gas,
go to the next step.
5. Turn thermostat control knob counterclock-
wise to the pilot position. Press in
thermostat control knob for 5 seconds (see
fig. 11).
Note: you may be running this heater for the
first time after hooking up to gas supply. If
so, you may need to press in control knob
for 30 seconds or more. This will allow air
to bleed from the gas system.
• If thermostat control knob does not pop
up when released, contact a qualified
service person or gas supplier for
repairs.
6. Keep thermostat control knob pressed in
while pushing down and releasing the
ignitor button. This will light pilot. If neces-
sary, continue to press ignitor button until
pilot lights.
If pilot does not light:
• turn thermostat control knob clockwise
to the OFF position.
• repeat step 5 and 6.
If pilot does not stay lit after several tries:
• refer to troubleshooting, pages 16 trough
18.
• contact a qualified service person or a gas
supplier for repairs.
7. Keep thermostat control knob presed in for
30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30
seconds, release control knob.
Note: If pilot goes out, repeat steps 3
through 7.
8. Turn thermostat control knob counterclock-
wise to the desired heating level.
The main burner should light. Set control
knob to any heat level between HI and
LOW (see fig. 12).
