OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A.  This appliance is equipped with a piezo ignition device which automatically lights the pilot. If piezo 
is not working properly, refer to match Lighting instructions, Page 33.
B.  BEFORE OPERATING 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 attempt to light any appliance.
 
•  Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.
 
•  Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instruc-
tions.
 
•  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 technician. Force or attempted 
repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D.  Do not use this appliance if any part of it 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 
that has been under water.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
If  you  do  not  follow  these  instruction 
exactly,  a  fire  or  explosion  may  result 
causing property damage, personal injury 
or loss of life.
