A. This appliance does not have a pilot. It is equipped with
an ignition device which automatically lights the burner.

phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

department.
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas supply shut off
valve. Never use tools. If the supply shut off will not turn
