LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
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 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 touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you can not reach your gas supplier, call the fire de-
partment.
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 tech-
nician. 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.

ance (if applicable).

be turn from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless knob is pushed in

low "B" in the safety information above on this plate. If
you do not smell gas,

log.
8. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise to
"PILOT."
9. Push in control knob all the way and hold in. Repeatedly
push the Piezo Ignitor Button until the pilot is lit. Continue
to hold the control knob in for about one (1) minute after
the pilot is lit. Release knob and it will pop back up. Pilot
should remain lit. If it goes out, repeat steps 5 through 9.
• If knob does not pop up when released, stop and immedi-
ately call a qualified service technician or gas supplier.
• If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas
control knob to "OFF" and call your service technician or
gas supplier.
10. Attention! Gas control has an INTERLOCK latch-
ing device. When the pilot is initially lit and the safety
magnet is energized (pilot stays "on"), the INTERLOCK
latching device becomes operative. If the gas control is
turned to "OFF" position or gas flow to the appliance shut
off, the pilot cannot be relighted until the safety magnet is
de-energized (approximately 60 seconds). There will be an
audible "click" when the safety magnet in the gas control
is de-energized. Pilot can now be relighted. Repeat steps 5
thru 9.
