VFDT(18,24,30)LB LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 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.

terclockwise to "PILOT."
8. Push in manual gas control knob all the way and hold in.
Repeatedly push the piezo ignitor button until pilot is lit (or
use a match to light). 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 4 though 8.
• If knob does not pop up when released, stop and im-
mediately callyou 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.
9. Attention! Gas control has an INTERLOCK latching device.
When the pilot is initially lit and the safety magnet is ener-
gized (pilot stays "ON"), the INTERLOCK latching device
becomes operative. If the gas control is turned to the "OFF"
position or gas flow to the appliance is 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 4 through 8.
10. Turn gas control knob counterclockwise to
"HIGH."
11. Turn on all electric power to the appliance (if applicable).
12. Set thermostat (gas control knob) to desired setting from
