LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

ing 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.

Do not use any 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 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

technician. 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.
