Lighting Instructions
Read and understand these directions thoroughly before 
attempting to light or re-light the pilot. Make sure the 
viewport is not missing or damaged. (See Figure 23) 
Make sure the tank is completely filled with water before 
lighting the pilot. Check the data plate near the gas control 
valve/thermostat for the correct gas. Do not use this water 
heater with any gas other than the one listed on the data 
plate. If you have any questions or doubts, consult your gas 
supplier or gas utility company.
