2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance. (If appli-

10. Depress and turn gas control knob counterclockwise

diately call your service technician or gas supplier.

control knob to “OFF” and call your service technician or
gas supplier.

energized (pilot stays on) the INTERLOCK latching de-
vice 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 relit. Repeat steps 5 through
10.
